April 2014

Weylandts, Melbourne … the new go-to store for fabulous homewares from Sth Africa.

Innovative, contemporary design, manufacturing and sourcing.

My pick for an autumn makeover …

the extremely elegant brass pendant lights … and the sparkling glass horlicks jar pendants, so retro …

these smart black and white side tables … perfect with your winter white bedding

and an aviator copper coffee table to warm up your living area and reflect that open fire this autumn … so nice to have an excuse to shop for a new look.

Loving london’s boutique hôtels 2014 2098

The Pelham Hotel in Sth Kensington is, for me the perfect location in London. A short stroll to the V&A or along the gorgeous Walton Street to Harrods … more specifically, their Stationary Department.

Kit Kemp the designer has created a luxury town house style hotel, the interiors ‘a tailored version of grand English style’. I love the idea of individually designed bedrooms, and there are 52 to choose from.

What sets these hotels apart is the unexpected … the combination of antique and contemporary furniture … quirky lighting and modern art set within a a wood panelled drawing room or library … it is perfect.
