I can’t believe it’s been 3 weeks since my last post!! I have been feeling so anxious that I haven’t be able to write anything! This is the problem when a big job comes in, radio silence on the blog…Anyhow, I’m back (until the next shoot!) and wanted to share with you some of the gorgeous products from all of the Spring/Summer 2013 press shows; starting with the lovely Laura Ashley.
All of the images below are from the Bloomsbury range, a pattern originally launched in 1987 and adapted to todays trends. For me, this was the collection that stood out the most at the press show, it’s colorful, fresh and exciting and is sure to be a hit. Away with the beige and in with the colour!

As the weather becomes colder and the winter coats come out, we are all turning towards our cozy home accessories. It’s all about knitted cushions, large cable knit throws mixed with a few of your favourite things. This is exactly what we used in my last shoot for Heart Home magazine which was shot at the end of the Summer. Our main focus was texture, combining the chunky textiles, reclaimed woods with soft petrol blues; just look at the beautiful colour of the thistle! Shot on location in Camber Sands by the lovely Jo Hendesron xx

It’s one week to go until Halloween which means it’s time to start planning the party! Don’t think that the dressing up and decor is just for the kids, we’d like to think our shoot below is tastefully set up for both! The photographer on this shoot was Jemma Watts and the stylist was myself. We used a selection of 3M products for hanging items on the wall. Happy Halloween!
4 Tips for creating a Halloween themed party!
- Think about where you are going to be entertaining friends and family, this set-up would work perfectly well in the kitchen, dining room or living room, as all you need is a table for food/sweets and a wall/ceiling to hang accessories. There are so many fun Halloween pieces to choose from when it comes to decorating your space, we chose items such as lanterns as they’re fun and add drama to the room.
- Once you have decided on your items, you’ll need to work out which Command products would be most suitable. For our Halloween lanterns, we used the small decorating clips from Command; they are perfect for most Halloween decorations and novelty string lights.
- Our Halloween board is a fun addition to the wall; you could always use a chalkboard and write your own Halloween menu or cocktail menu for the adults! To hang it on the wall, we used the clear medium hooks from Command. Before you hang anything from the hook it is important that you check the weight that it can hold by looking at the front of the packet. This hook can hang up to 2 pounds, or 900 grams.
- The small newspaper bags are a quick and easy way to create some fun props for your party and best of all, they are made from recycled items. Using an old newspaper, cut out a rectangle shape, then fold it over and stick the side and bottom, cut up strips of black paper and fill up your little bags leaving little spikes sticking out of the top. To attach them to the wall or desk then we would recommend the poster strips from Command, they are also great for attaching unframed pictures or photos to your wall.

Caiopliniodesign.com came to life in Como, in early 2012, founded by Riccardo Avenali and some friends design lovers who started collecting art and design pieces many years ago. In early 2012 they decided to share their passion for design by creating a website where people can discover and, why not, buy their own collection. Furniture, lamps, watches, accessories and even vintage motorcycles are just a few items available on their site.
Some of the pieces that they have sourced are truly stunning but as you might expect, buying genuine vintage items is not a cheap process, just remember that you are paying for a design classic and a piece of history…

You may have seen the large banner that we have placed on our site, this is for Breast Cancer Awareness month, something that Pippa Jameson Interiors is very keen to support. Breakthrough Breast Cancer have teamed up with various companies to create products which will raise awareness and vital funds for breast cancer and the research which they carry out. Please take a peek at the Lookbook as there are some gorgeous bed linens and sheets which Laura Ashley and M&S have designed respectively.

Inspiring Australian stylist and globetrotter Sibella Court has released her newsest book entitled Bowerbird, over the weekend. An exciting visual feast, Bowerbird looks at the art of displaying your personal collections and finds, in the wonderfully rustic style that the author has become known for featuring raw, honest and earthy collections of her own.
This new release is such an inspiring read and in my opinion cements Sibella Court as one of the masters of styling and art of display. Copies are available through The Society Inc or Amazon for all UK residents (link at the bottom of the post).

It’s the end of another busy week and time to swoon over some gorgeous homeware. I’m LOVING both pieces by Hugo Passo. First we have the IVEY, an oak plywood magazine holder, designed so that you can view your magazines like 12″ vinyls in a record shop (very cool), also by Hugo is this lemon yellow Piet side table, the leg structure is made from solid walnut and the matt lacquer tops are available in yellow, red, black, blue & white.
The cute rug is designed by the Internationally renowned fabric and wallpaper company Harlequin, the new & hip brand called Scion have drawn inspiration from mid-century modern and Scandinavian looks (the animal print makes it very on trend) the same rug design is also available in mustard #like. If like me, you have a bit of a light obsession (most design addicts do) then I am sure you will appreciate the delicate nature of this piece, inspired by Japanese origami, ’Paper Lights, is folded from 1 piece of “butterfly paper”and is supplied with a porcelain bulb socket. Finally, we have this old skool satchel, available in one of the most fashionable colours right now, the ‘Manderin’ is part of a new collection by Bohemia
