The love of vintage interiors and accessories looks like it’s here to stay so I thought I would post some images from a vintage shoot I worked on with my photographer friend Jemma Watts.  The brief was a pretty vintage summer picnic.  It’s a really easy look to create and would be lovely to use for a party picnic with friends.

I love pretty tins like the one in the photo above.  I am always on the hunt for them in vintage and charity shops.  They are great for cutlery but also as pen pots and the larger ones as cake tins.  They also look great teamed with old french linen napkins. (more…)

Selling homes in a collapsed housing market is tough which is why Pippa Jameson Interiors has collaborated with Oliver Heath to bring you 5 keys tips on how to sell your home in a recession.  Here we look at cleaning your home in preparation for sale…

PART 2: Cleanliness
This is a must! If you don’t have the time to have a good old clean and yet you think your home might be looking a bit dirty then it would be money well spent to invest in a cleaning company.  Trust me when I say that a dirty house is not a house that will attract buyers.

Home cleaning costs anywhere between £30-70 and this will hire you a team of cleaners to come in and give the house a once over.  Also, having the carpets cleaned can be done for as little as £20 and will have them looking brand new again.  If it will sell your house then it is worth it! (more…)
