I absolutely adore this style of architecture and would buy one like a shot - sadly, in England and the part of London I live in, there is very little architecture like this - mostly Victorian terr...

I think this is a very stylish room however it's been decorated for the parents and not the child. Babies don't stay babies for long and they deserve a friendly, warm and age-appropriate bedroom w...

susiequeue's correct - this is a damask not a toile - if you google 'damask shower curtain' there's quite a few choices although I didn't see a black and white one in the first few sites I clicked ...

I think these films are a great idea - much more temporary than the other way of achieving virtually the same effect by permanently etching the glass yet just as stylish.

I've seen a beautiful (and incredibly expensive) Designer's Guild fabric I'd like to use for the curtains in my daughter's room which are floor to ceiling jobbies and would be prohibitively expensi...

If it's a temporary solution you could just paper over the ceiling to hide the cracks - either in a plain white to give the appearance of a newly plastered ceiling or, alternatively, in a patterned...

Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing this wonderful talent to our attention - I've been looking for textiles exactly like this for a specific project I'm working on - I need look no further.

I've just re-read my post and it might seem rather judgemental - I think what I was attempting to say was that rather than stressing over where to have your registry and what to have on it why not ...

I bought my nephews wooden toy boxes with their names handpainted on for their 1st Birthdays. They still have them 8 years on in their bedrooms to house their toys and general clutter (I made sure...

I think this must be a fairly American thing - we don't have baby showers or 'registries' in England (or not that I know of). Whilst it's probably a very practical thing to ensure that people buy ...

Aline - re: your bathroom window. I have a large bay window in my living room that gets full sun all day and in order to be able to partially shut off the sun in places yet have other parts of the...

... they're called fanlights (quite appropriately really!).

oh and I forgot to say - I like the dark Harrods green or black for these types of doors the best.

Spinal Tap is a classic - I put it on a par with Up in Smoke for making your tummy hurt from laughing. The bit about the Stonehenge stage prop being trampled on by dwarves was probably one of my ...

The fanlights are fantastic - it's such a pity so many of them have been replaced with plain glass :-(

How lucky you are to have such a large open space - I live in a 107 year old Victorian cottage and, whilst it's charming and has oodles of character, it's small and, at times, a little claustrophob...

amendment: the designer's name is Bent Severin.

Hubby and I bought a Tempur Memory Foam mattress and a new divan base a few months ago to replace our old sprung mattress and wooden frame. Admittedly, it was pricey but is guaranteed for its life...

mamacita said: I'm sure there are some amazing vintage ones available. There are - I've mentioned them elsewhere on this site but for fabulous modernist styling the Princess range of g...
