Half term with the family celebrating father-in-law Keith’s 80th birthday in Montecatini Termi, Tuscany - in one way, very chilled …but it’s 35° 🥵

An untouched 1960s extension in Selly Park is now (nearly) ready to party. A family TV room with cocktail bar and music storage and performance space. So pleased with this flooring. Check out the before shots….

When you really click with a client, it’s incredibly rewarding. What starts as one small job can grow into a relationship that lasts for years. In this case, we’ve worked our way through almost every corner of the house over the past decade.

Yesterday, I came across this extraordinary water sculpture by William Pye. A permanent font was commissioned to mark the 750th anniversary of Salisbury Cathedral. Built between 1220 and 1258 in an astonishing 38 years, the cathedral is crafted from pale Chilmark limestone and dark Purbeck marble, and stands as a masterpiece of Early English Gothic architecture. Subtle, indirect lighting beautifully reveals the clustered columns, pointed arches, and rib-vaulted ceilings.

A fantastically successful launch day for my clients Jules and Noel of near Worcester and thanks to the very talented Jack Brady for bringing it all to fruition

I like to design my bathrooms to feel like a room you would want to linger in. I also always hide the unattractive bits, like water tanks and pipework, and I recommend at least two lighting circuits. This is one of my fave projects.

I don’t follow trends.
I admire craft.

If I love something, it’s because it’s been thoughtfully designed — by someone who’s mastered their art. That’s my approach: to create spaces filled with classic, timeless designs that mean something to the people who live there.

Not for a season.
For years to come.

This 1950s chair belonged to the client’s grandfather. I found the fabric — Fierce Beauty by Sarah Parris of — at a design fair nine years ago. Both are gorgeous but together they make an even greater combo.
