Sigh. Just back from My Friend’s lovely new house. I have to admit to being a bit envious of the giddy ‘starting out together’ phase. I love this house, but we’ve already gone through the point in our relationship where I suggest (foist) a whole new look for it, which makes much more of its natural assets.

That said, I do have a list of ‘detail’ ideas the length of both of my legs to be getting on with, so no need for the glum face. Starting with layering up the beds. The guest bed is decked out in Toast’s grey Ticking Stripe, which I think would go just magic with either of these Eleanor Pritchard designs. Swoon!
