A few of my own photos of our client’s completed home while we *patiently* await captures from (she just took the photos yesterday, let’s give her some time..!).

Our clients are wonderful, generous, beautiful people who have nestled into this new home of theirs after an ‘intensive cosmetic’ renovation of the main floor. Wider views of the spaces to come but it’s these details that have my heart: collected shells, books, plants, all feel so very much at home now in these colourful, earthy spaces. We didn’t ‘style’ the spaces for our photoshoot (a word I detest) we showcased their life with their own pieces and this is what I love: creating a nest for these personal treasures, for a life well lived.

HELLO 2026 - I want one thing this year (and I wrote about it on ) - I want more beauty, a more personal, from the bone and from the heart kind of beauty this year. For everyone.

Here’s a snippet:
Beauty is not skin deep, it goes right to the marrow of it all, it’s created from the earth up, from the soul outward. Beauty is built to last. Beauty is the opposite of ‘cheap and cheerful’ (how much cheer, and for how long, did we ever derive from purchasing something with this tag-phrase? Not long, not long at all…). A client said to me recently “it only hurts once when you buy quality”, very true - it may sting a little to make that investment but that’s the last little bit of pain you’ll ever feel - it’s comfort and happiness from here on out.

The pond project. Selected views of the new pond in my garden - it’s her first season so a lot still needs doing (unlike furniture, you can’t move plants in the middle of summer!), but a lot is already taking shape mostly by leaving Mother Nature to do her thing. I had envisioned a raised pond made of reclaimed bricks with a ‘rip-rap’ laid patio - turns out rip-rap is expensive (labour intensive) and though some compromises were made I could not back down from steps laid out in a soldier course and a basket weave patio layout. I adore how the lamium has broadcast itself across the bricks and the mingling of Mediterranean herbs, self seeded feverfew and nicotiana amongst the planted perennials.

More to come as this patch continues to evolve and the pond settles but it’s already provided oodles of loveliness. Keep an eye out for my next newsletter for more photos and the design sketches.

Reimagining our client’s new-to-them home from neutral to highly personal has been a dream project. We have been learning about the house together, having just moved in this summer they have are still figuring out where they like to sit for coffee, where to listen to music and where to create (both are artists). The settling in period can’t be rushed but we all want to see these happy, restful and energizing spaces come to life for them as quickly as possible!

Sketches include the reimagined dining room with panelled wall painted a rich tomato red; former elevated dining room-turned Hippie Den complete with custom shoji screens, a common show-kitchen reclaimed as a space to feed loved ones, surrounded by colour and highly functional, and the powder room will serve as happy tropical escape!
