The Queen Mary Takes Me: A Tribute to Craig Anderson

CollectingApril 24, 2017June 13, 2017

Blogging is a fascinating phenomenon. WordPress alone is said to be home to over 80 million posts a month, with authors busy hammering out articles on pretty much anything you can possibly imagine. I follow a small collection of diverse sites, all of which I thoroughly enjoy, even if I am guilty of being a […]

Architecture Collecting LightingOctober 15, 2016October 15, 2016

Finished in a subtle grey geometric wallpaper, my home study is a calm, child-free environment in which I can focus on my various projects. It was created a couple of years ago from an unloved, seldom used dining room, and has proved to be an excellent investment of DIY graft. So proud was I, that a […]

Finger Off The Pulse

Collecting FurnitureNovember 4, 2015December 13, 2015

Tastes and fashions can be extremely baffling at times. I was recently asked to sell a second hand ‘built from flat pack’ pine dresser for my in-laws. A horrible orange knotty thing it was, with a semi traditional look that would look equally out of place in a period home as it would in an off the peg new […]

Family Heirlooms

CollectingFebruary 8, 2015February 8, 2015

It’s not often you get the opportunity to add to your collection with pieces that have a genuine family connection, in fact it’s a first for me. As far as I’m aware, no one in my family has any particular affinity with home furnishings from the 30s and some even consider my fascination somewhat eccentric (dunno what […]
