Spinning plates (and everything inbetween... )

So, things have been a little busy, lately... I've been wanting to write a post just to say hello and share some things pretty and others new, but I just don't know where to begin. Instead, I thought I'd pull together a few collections of some of the projects I'm currently working on for those interested...

                                      The Islington Project

 MAY: I had worked with these design savvy clients, previously, and so, when they moved house, back in April, I was thrilled to be asked to bring the new home to a standard to which they were accustomed. Initially, a furnishing project, it has since evolved into quite a different animal... Although, I have to say that it has been a tremedous effort to get to where we are, today - and we're very close to the finish line, it has also been one of my favourite projects, this year because the changes we've made have been great ones and that's what this is all about. (I believe their 8 yr old son ran through the house shouting "we have a rad house!" I'm not sure I'll ever hear praise more heady... )

The Kent Project

 

 JULY & AUGUST saw the end of the building stage of the 'Kent' project. We are currently in the furnishing stage and it's now been a full year since this £350K project began. This small collection of images does in no way represent the sheer scale of this project - I actually do not know how to even where to begin to tell you about it. My favourite bit? The Client - she's a dream to work with....

A Certain Simplicity 

I managed to squeeze out the last few days in September to step into a very different world. If you haven't been to Piedmont, Italy, go, you will be blown away but the natural beauty that surrounds you. And if you are going, be sure to stay with the absolutely charming Baur B&B, where Diana Baur, who writes the life enhancing blog  A Certain Simplicity   and her husband Mishe and their delightful dog, Max will show you a life lived well. 

A truly inspiring experience.

Picking up a Little Pretty Along the Way

 

Every now and again, we need a break from our projects - they can really own your life, if you're not careful... I took some time off to visit Decorex. This is a very small selection of things that caught my eye. I just love that wall light in chrome by Tom Kirk. Not to mention the (hand blown!) Pear Lamp by Porta Romana... So gorgeous.

 Who am I kiddling, I am uttely consumed! (Phew, I need a break.) How have you been? Please tell me your news...
