Feeling full of inspiration this weekend after London Design Festival - I’ve saved some of my favourite picks in highlights. This tactile coffee table by David Knowles was the winner of this year’s Rado Star Prize by designjunction headline sponsor @rado . The design was inspired by the Giant’s Causeway and hexagonal columns were cast in Jesmonite to replicate the characteristics of the terrain’s interlocking basalt steps. What did you love most at LDF this year? #RadoStarPrize #ad
Thank you so much for all the love on yesterday’s post. I’m talking bedrooms again over on the blog today. Have you ever wondered how to choose the perfect pillow? Apparently the position you sleep in is just one of the factors you need to consider. I decided it was time to ditch our saggy old ones so I’ve teamed up with sleep experts @thewhitecompany to give our bed a little pillow upgrade. Head over to the blog to read my top 6 tips on finding (and caring for) your perfect pillow. #thewhitecompany #mywhiteco [ad]
Happy to have bagged this new rug for the bedroom from @hmhome - I think it’s already sold out in the smaller size (the larger one is still available). I may have accidentally slipped a new dressing gown into my shopping basket too. I have Karine @bodieandfou to thank / blame for that one because she looked so fabulous in hers. Also, joining in with @aboutthishaus ‘s new hashtag #nestleandhygge because I’m definitely feeling the autumn interior vibes around here at the moment.
Lots of exciting progress on the house this weekend. The old fireplace in the living room is no more. When we first moved in we toyed with the idea of keeping it as it seemed a shame to remove something that had survived intact for so long, but in the end we decided it had to go. The next job is to create a slightly larger opening, put a lintel in and then hopefully fit a woodburner at some point. Any recommendations? #designhunterrenovations
Ticked a big job off the renovation to do list today as we finally signed off the plans for the extension with our architect. So now we just have to cross our fingers and wait a couple of months for the decision. Heading out early to the theatre this evening so I’m sat here at my dressing table doing my nails and hair and wishing I’d had my roots done! 🙈
The house feels so much more like our home since Graham fitted the new front door. (Swipe to see what it looked like when we moved in - that uPVC just had to go). It was a fiddly time consuming job to get the fit and the finish just right but we’re really happy to have something more in keeping with the age and style of the house... and I LOVE our shiny new letterbox. #designhunterrenovations
How do you keep your best white bed linen looking clean and new and prevent it discolouring? I asked on Stories a few days ago and SO many of you left really helpful suggestions. Thank you! Lots of you also asked me to share the tips I received so I’ve rounded up some of them below. Have you tried any of these? What worked best for you? #whitesheets #laundrytips _____________ 1. Letting your linen dry in the sun. I definitely think this helps... but not always that easy in the UK. 🌧☔️ 2. Lots of you use Vanish Oxi Action. Some of you soak your laundry in it first and then add more with the wash. 3. Use vinegar to keep the drum of your washing machine clean. 4. Wash with white washing powder and fabric conditioner as coloured ones can absorb into the fabric. I’d never heard this before but it kind of makes sense. 5. Add a small amount of bicarbonate of soda with the detergent. 6. Napisan. 7. Milton sterilising tablets. 8. Use Hydrogen peroxide to bleach and whiten. 9. Wash at 90 degrees every now and then.
One from the archive... just because I’m loving this colour in my feed right now.
