This feature is in the current edition of Country Homes & Interiors, a Scandinavian style self build overlooking the Sound of Mull, in Ardnamurchan What an adventure we had getting there – crumbs, you could not make it up – ferries, car accidents, B&Bs… Our first ferry journey was over to the Isle of Lismore, […]
Well, I am just about back at it, we have had a lovely break, but I can feel myself starting to think about shoots and meetings again and a travel commission is looming as well, we are off on a skiing holiday to Austria, with Crystal Ski shortly, so need to get organised. I was […]
A stunning Xmas feature that we shot in Glasgow for Your Home Magazine. Scarlett and and her husband Gerry bought their cottage for its location, at the end of a leafy lane in an idyllic spot in the West End. They bought it in 2017, knowing they would extend, as the garden is huge, and […]
I have always advocated decorating with original artwork. A hand painted mural is a wonderful way to add serious individuality to an interior, so for this post I have interviewed decorative artist, Serena Holliday, from Wall Stories London In my last post, which you can view here I showed you round the festive home of […]
Thrilled with our Christmas feature in the latest 25 Beautiful Homes about the gorgeous home of interior designer Fenella Cockcroft. The house is surrounded by the farmland she grew up on, ‘my family have lived here for generations’ Fenella shares. ‘My mother still lives nearby, and I was brought up just over the hill from […]
We were invited to visit Nerja, as guests of James Villas. Once a small fishing village, Nerja has blossomed into one of Spain’s most popular coastal destinations in Andalucía. Steeped in natural beauty, facing the sea with the Sierra de Almijara mountains rising sharply behind. The old town is typically Andalucian, full of white-washed houses, and pebble streets. Perfect for exploring away […]
Well, I am mad about Scandi interiors; I took my husband to Copenhagen as a surprise treat for his 50th, you can read all about it here; I have read all about Hygge and my son, who is 25 years old today, is living in Glasgow with his beautiful Danish girlfriend. I need to find […]
Alexis and her husband Stephen bought their home brand new, from the developer, so it was a complete blank canvas. She initially planned a very low key, Scandi minimal interior, but found herself injecting more and more colour and drama as time went by. Her challenge was to add character into the property and differentiate […]
Delighted to see our feature in the latest issue of 25 Beautiful Homes, September 2022, gracing the front cover. Owner, Jo Tutton Lifestyle and interiors, on Instagram, has become a dear friend and colleague. We have photographed a number of her properties over the years. All exquisite, but this project is definitely the most exciting […]
Well, I am trying not to sigh and say OMG too much, I am basically loving this weather and very pleased to have an outdoor space to enjoy it. I was brought up in a flat with a communal garden in London which was fun and I have lived in a couple of flats since, […]
For me there is no point in having a beautiful home unless I can read in it. I cannot relax unless I have a good book on the go – it is almost like a drug for me. I do get quite stressed sometimes and the older I get the more I realise how helpfully […]
Delighted to show off this gorgeous home that we shot for the current issue of Your Home magazine. I had been corresponding with Rosie for a while, knowing that I would love to write about her. There is no hurry though, a house does have to be ‘ready’ for a shoot and Rosie is a […]
