If I’m completely honest with you, today’s post nearly didn’t make it as a Meet The Designer one today. You know when you discover something refreshingly new and innovative, and you find yourself thinking about it 24/7? That was and, still is me, from when I came across Isabel Quiroga’s Back-To-Basic Desk at the London Design Fair. However, ALL of her designs captured my eye and imagination and I couldn’t let you miss out on this talented designer and…
Meet The Designers – Wilful Ink & Studio 27
October 20, 2017There’s a reason behind my Meet The Designer posts and that is to introduce you to a whole new world of design for your homes that you may not have yet discovered. It has to be said there are some pretty damn amazing independent designers out there creating wonderful individual designs that you just won’t find on the high street.

Afterall, our homes are where we seek sanctuary and unwind to be with our families and friends. So…
I’m still swooning after finding the outdoor/indoor Islay rocking chair from John Lewis from my post a couple of weeks on Indoor-Outdoor Furniture so today I thought we’d look a little more closely at the rather fabulous Rocking Chair and the many designs available. ROCKING THE ROCKING CHAIR DESIGN Having spent many an hour as a child in my mothers rocking chair growing up, I have to say that there are not many furniture pieces that can provide the…
10 Of The Best Versatile Outdoor-Indoor Furniture Pieces

Whilst we may not have had the best of summers so far, I, like most of the population, live in hope that maybe, just maybe, we’ll get an Indian summer once the kids are back at school. So with that in mind and the fact that our outdoor spaces are very much an extension of our homes, I thought we’d…
