Oct 2 THE INDEPENDANT INTERIORS SHOW - MANCHESTER

Saturday 28th September 2013 turned out to be a surprisingly warm and sunny day in Manchester, which made the outing at the The Independent Interiors Show even better. Really cool venue too at 2022 on Dale Street in the NQ, despite being underground and sheltered from the sun! I thought it was a really fitting space for the event, cosy and inspiring, and a little bit dark which I liked (helped by the presence of a bar.) There was loads of interesting stuff to see (and buy) and it was really nice to get chatting to the actual designers. I found Helaina Sharpley's space to be unique and found her intricate wirework to be really special. What patience! A neon heart and feather lampshade from Scandinord are definitely on the wish list, as is a colourful mosaic piece from Amanda McCrann - need to get my thinking cap on for some 'good words'. My living room has been brightened by my purchase of tea coasters from Jorja Wilkinson Design, could have gone wild at her store! All in all a fab event, I will definitely be attending the next one.

How I created an office library in a tiny room using Ikea Billy bookcases

Nov 12, 2022

If you know me, you’ll know I have a penchant for gloss paint! I’ve wanted to create a red study/library/creative space/very bold room for some time, so having the opportunity to do that in my back bedroom has been a real trip! Although the box bedroom is exactly that (just over 2 meters squared pre- bookcases), I knew that designed well, the wall to wall glossy bookcases would really work in here, regardless of it’s size.

Verona, Sirmione & Bologna; Where I ate and what I saw on a 5 day trip

Aug 14, 2022

Eating traditional food on holiday, especially in Italy can be a bit stressful for me because I get worried that heat and hunger will get the better of me and fall into a tourist trap. I’m always want the nonnas kitchen vibe, so anything less just won’t do. I wanted to document the lovely things we saw and the tasty (and traditional) places we ate for future trips, as a reminder for me, and (hopefully) of help to you. So here’s a run down of the best places to eat and see in Verona, Sirmione (Lake Garda) and Bologna.
