Just when I thought I’d found my dream kitchen in the last post… well… truth is I’m fickle. Oh no I haven’t changed my mind about deVOL kitchens. I just have a new favourite kitchen that’s all. Traditional meets eclectic with touches of retro French and contemporary graphic tiles. And the colour? Stunning.

Hello English style kitchen in all your sage green goodness. And hello to you too sunny dining area. It’s Edwardian era style meets a touch of industrial and theatre. Love this house full of personality and fun by London-based interior designers Spencer & Wedekind.

As I say week after week if you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish… like this office by Dutch interior design firm Studio Slow. Love the Formakami pendant lights by Jaime Hayon and the deliciously refreshing minty green paint (Aresenic from Farrow & Ball).

Oh my I’ve died and gone to kitchen heaven. This is it. English country kitchen perfection and… it’s a showroom. We all know I’m smitten by anything that deVOL Kitchens design so it’s no surprise that I have been following the fitout of their new Clerkenwell, London showroom on their Instagram account. Pink fireplace wall, handmade green wall tiles, bespoke cabinets in dreamy blue and copper pans hanging on a creamy tongue and groove wall. The little chandelier, majolica plates and vintage portrait are icing on the cake. I couldn’t wait for the showroom to turn up on their website. I just had to share their IG posts.

What to do when the house you are refurbishing is perhaps the most beautiful example of Le Corbusier-inspired architecture in Johannesburg? How to breathe new life into an iconic building by local Modernist hero Rex Martienssen? Keep it true, keep it real and let the owner’s personality shine through. I’m green with envy over that verdant entry. Greenside Residence by Tonic Design.
