Hey! I’m Emily, founder and editor of The Pink House.  I’m mum to two bonkers littl(ish) boys, wife to the long-suffering Pink House Husband, and I've recently moved from Edinburgh back to London, where I live in an Edwardian house with a pink front door.

Once upon a time I worked as a lifestyle journalist at various glossy magazines. I went to fabulous bars. I went to gorgeous hotels. I went out at 10pm and came home at 5am ON SCHOOL NIGHTS.  I even jumped off rooftops for cash, but that’s another story for another time.

Then one day, after hours of high-pitched swearing in Hampstead, I ejected a tiny human and life went mental. The tiny human refused to sleep for more than an hour at a time and his hobbies were a) screaming loudly, and b) screaming frequently. 

Nine years and two kids later, the parties, posh hotels and late nights are far less frequent. But just because I can’t go out as much, doesn’t mean I’ve given up on fabulousness – it just means my home's had to pick up the slack.

I’m obsessed with making my new London home look and feel as fun, beautiful and buzzy as my favourite bars, restaurants and hotels, while taking inspo from some amazingly talented people (I did the same in my last Edinburgh house).

And that's what The Pink House (est: 29 Feb 2016) blog is all about: taking interiors inspiration and advice from fabulous people and places, and using it to make your place amazing.
