POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Love in Gravedigger’s Cottage! Two months of inhaling dust, packing and unpacking Alfie’s van, and pushing my sister’s sewing skills to the max. The house creaks if you breathe too deeply or blink too hard, everything is wonky and we can’t get the tap to stop dripping but how we love her! by @aabowes

Only just getting around to posting this absolute beauty of a townhouse by @emma__ainscough. We chatted about it on the other side of Christmas (which feels like seventeen years ago. Thank you January) and I’ve been thinking about it since. Particularly the blue armchairs in the sitting room. Has a blue ever been so perfect? Probably not.

The February cover (!) house is such a special one. Just look at that art collection for proof: Jack Pennys! Peggy Kuipers! Emma Gales! The gang’s all here. @stella_weatherall is a very, very clever human and I am very grateful to be a little part of her big moment. Live on the House & Garden website now.

Interviewed the lovely @sally.wilkinson.design about her rented flat in Pimlico. Set on the same square Robert Kime once lived on, there must be a certain decorative magic in the air there, because Sally’s home is nothing short of magnificent.

Some of my favourite images from a wonderful day spent at @rachel.bottomley ‘s 17th-century cottage. It’s what Rachel calls a ‘patchwork house’, where airy ‘70s extensions open up from tiny original corridors, and every corner provides something new for the eye to enjoy.

London Marathon 2025!!! 🥇
‘Hewitt Got Through It’ @tamikahewitt
So proud to be a Londoner. Spectating is honestly a logistical nightmare (shout out to my mum and dad who walked 10 miles yesterday) and it’s so heartwarming that so many people are happy to stand for hours just to see someone they love whizz by in a second. The wall of noise was absolutely insane the whole way around and I won’t be forgetting running over tower bridge any time soon! Truly one of the greatest days!

But most importantly, we raised £5.5k for Blood Cancer UK, funding vital research and treatments. There’s still time to donate if you’d like to! 🏃🏃🇬🇧🇬🇧🥇🥇

Wrote about Anna Haines’ latest project, which is set in an enviable location on the edge of Hampstead Heath. A calming, charming space it looks great in the photos but even better in person, as I was lucky enough to find out on a chilly day in early Feb.
