FINE by Boora Architects

The more and more I travel, the more appreciation I have for international hotels. The big, the small, and the crazy. Here’s a link to a Contemporist post about a slightly mad looking one in Sweden. Radisson Blu Riverside by Doos Architects »...
read moreTrains, planes and no internet!
In the past few months, I feel like I’ve circumnavigated the entire globe. Started off in a new office in London, then off to see a client in Qingdao, China. Followed by a week in Bristol, Worcester, Oxford and then a few days in Maastricht, the Netherlands. Going to China was an experience, but not the one I was expecting. Despite never having heard of Qingdao, I was expecting something slightly less built up than this. The city, like many other places in CHina, is growing at a rate of knots! Many building sites I saw at the beginning...

I’ve always wanted to show to the Mid Century Modern Show in Dulwich for a number of reasons: I’m completely obsessed with Mid Century Modern Like most people my age, we grew up around Mid Century Modern objects in our grandparents’ homes, therefore it’s rooted deep in my consciousness How can you not love the idea of being surrounded by Dansette record players, Scandinavian glassware and Danish teak sideboards?! Sadly, despite the best laid plans, I’ve never made it to a show…until today! Hubby decided to...
read moreTop Pinterest Apps for Interior Design
As well as being a designer, I am also a massive geek (and proud!) As a result, I’m always keen to test our new apps as they appear, to help with my design work. I also happen to be a Pinterest addict, so when my favourite worlds collide, I’m a happy bunny! If This Then That (IFTTT) This app is truly amazing and yet to simple. Imagine that if every time you pinned an image, it was also automatically saved to a folder in your Dropbox. Or maybe every time you emailed your self one of those handy (i.e. always getting lost)...
read moreHeart Home Mag – Spring 2013
The Spring Edition of Heart Home Mag is out! These images really make me want to move to a light filled Scandinavian country and paint everything white! Love the colour pops with the balloons, but most of all the plates. My plate collection is manifesting itself very slowly, mainly because I’m slow at collecting, but also due to PWANP archiving their collection of beautiful plates! They reassure me that they haven’t disappeared though, and will pop up at the wonderful Mid Century Modern Fair that hubby is taking me to as a...
