Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

Embracing a long-standing love for vintage style, I transformed my first flat’s lack of a kitchen into an opportunity for creativity. Discovering a charming 1950s pantry unit and a matching cupboard for sale online, I found the perfect storage solution for a small space to balance my portable hob.

What began as a practical solution quickly turned into a passion, as I fell in love with the beauty of old treasures like my little kitchen, once cherished by an elderly lady from Croydon and now continuing to serve a purpose 60 years later in Hertfordshire.

Many years and addresses on, I have amassed a large and eclectic mixture of mid-century furniture, making my home, whether you love it or hate it, inarguably unique - where each piece tells a story.

Flat no. 2

Vintage kitchen units and original Bakelite handles that have come with me every move - where the sick unit was integral to the flat and got left behind, the yellow pieces have followed me everywhere. You might spot the cabinet on the left repurposed elsewhere...

Flat no. 3

An exploration of tropical prints and a skint girl's take on 1950s Palm Springs!

Flat 3 bathroom

Soe 50's style cowboy inspired decor - and spot our old friend in a re-purposed kitchen-now-bathroom unit (Bakelites too!)

House 1 - Early bathroom

Pre-extension, the bathroom was wedged into a little room upstairs in this two up-two down semi in the centre of town. Though the resolution o this picture isn't great, you can clearly see I was going through a lilac phase!

House 1 - Final bathroom

Post extension and the bathroom was moved into the little upstairs addition with vaulted ceiling and yellow theme. Cast iron wall baskets for the sink, a yellow cupboard my dad made many years before with vintage knobs, a view of Elvis whilst on the throne and wash your hands in soap housed in an old gin container. Loved this room.

House no. 1 kitchen

After a long and arduous refurb, chair upholstering and a stripped kitchen splay-leg table keeping me busy during Lock-Down summer 2020

Bungalow - Snug No.1

Experimenting with dark walls and indulging a love of Bowie - this was the first room completed in the bungalow so an ex-display comfy sofa and a selection of vintage prints for cushions was something worth celebrating!

Bungalow - Early Living Room

Not long finished yet another refurb, this was our living room once the dust had been swept away and the steel beams finally in place - that GORGEOUS vintage French dresser, red in this picture, has had many facelifts since I first commandeered her...

Bungalow - Snug 2

This room has been used as a living room, a bedroom, a spare room, a storage room, an office and now, a snug / music room. Having been painted a multitude of colours in the four years we've lived here, I am currently channeling khaki green and olive shades at the moment, but this is liable to change any time soon!
