I’ve long been a fan of the moody colour palette at ATELIER Abigail Ahern on Upper Street in Islington – it’s like a cross between ‘In the Mood for Love‘ and a BBC Dickens special. It’s also a refreshing antidote to the minimalist modernism that seems to pervade a lot of interior design these days. [...]

Betsy Makes Calligraphy
Posted in Calligraphy, tagged Betsy Dunlap on December 11, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Betsy Dunlap does such amazing calligraphy – it feels like a throwback to the 50′s – but with a modern day touch. I’ve yet to find anyone who does anything quite similar anywhere else – maybe I haven’t done enough research? Her rates are reasonable – and easy enough to ship internationally I’m sure!
Camilla Makes Pictures

I’ve long been a fan of Swedish artist and illustrator Camilla Engman’s distinctive work. I particularly love her captivating snow-covered landscapes. If you’re looking for a great Christmas gift – how about her 2009 calendar?

This is old news – but I just have to get this up here: Julianne Moore’s house from the March 2006 issue of World of Interiors (photographed by Thibault Jeanson). I’ve used this place as an inspiration in my own house over the past 2 years – the tearsheets from the magazine were taped to [...]

I love David Gates‘ utilitarian style – this is functional beauty at it’s best. He’s currently only doing commissioned work – but still quite inspirational, no?
Helen Makes Ceramics

I’ve long been a fan of Helen Beard. She’s equal part ceramicist, illustrator and painter. I’ve managed to buy a few of her porcelain pieces – but could easily squeeze many more somewhere into my house. Oh – and she also makes lovely cards, if you’re looking for something under £5!
Trainspotters Make Good Salvage
Posted in Furniture, Lighting, Salvage, Shop, tagged Trainspotters on December 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I discovered Trainspotters when in a desperate search for lights for my new kitchen (now sold out). They’ve got a nice selection of architectural salvage – including lighting, furniture, clocks and decorative bits. They’ve got a good eye, the items are in good shape and their prices are pretty reasonable – unlike a lot of [...]
