If you can’t commit to her gorgeous wallpaper – artist Claire Coles is selling these wonderful brooches made by intricately embroidering vintage wallpaper, leather and felt together. I would feel so proud to have one of these works of art on my lapel!

Nothing to see here

This home has absolutely nothing inside it…

Isn’t that kind of refreshing? I love being inspired by a wonderful interior, but sometimes it’s nice just to feel the creaking and movements of an old property and imagine your things inside…?

Have you ever seen such an expansive entranceway in such a building, like the one below? It’s unusual to see a property function like this, with two great big bay windows at the front of it, because in London this space would immediately be divided down the middle… and the facade itself is so unusual – a sort of mish-mash of styles… do you think it works?

Illustration Tuesday… Lucy Vigrass

London based illustrator, Lucy Vigrass’ work is pretty eye catching, bright neons against dark backgrounds is her style. Although bold and graphic, her imagery however feels like there is constant movement within them – a testament to her subtle composition skills.

I also feel like she has a really strong interiors led side to her work, lots of objects, furniture and design objects appear frequently in her work.

Perfectly Marvellous Pickling Jars

In keeping with the handmade theme this morning, how great are these glass jars from Burgon and Ball with cool retro font’s all ready to go for pickling and preserves? I’m loving the perfectly marvellous English tone of voice too!
