Me and the kids in our half-finished home
In an ideal world, we wouldn’t be living in The Pink House while it was being renovated; we’d be chilling in a large, fully-furnished, dust-free - hell, this is an ideal world; let’s throw in a swimming pool, grotto and a kitten farm too - mansion across the road until the very last lick of paint had been applied.

Buy ten and your karmic scales will be balanced for life…
What if there were some magical way of receiving delicious home goodies AND have that added moral superior rush one gets from the thrill of giving?

The scarcely-seen loo side of my Edinburgh bathroom
When it comes to bathrooms, everyone’s happy to chat pretty taps, rolltop tubs and lovely lighting. But despite the fact that using the loo is the main reason we go to the littlest room, when it comes to designing a sanitary space, no-one really talks about toilets. How very British of us!

AFTER: the finished bedroom!
My eldest son Oscar is a lucky little (insert inappropriate term of abuse here): of all the bedrooms in The Pink House, his has the best view. So when it came to designing Oscar’s room, its location, perched high above London, was a key consideration. I wanted to reference the city beyond his window, but balance the urban with the presence of nature…

The Pink House *loves* the unabashed luxury of a hotel suite, so we decided to round-up a few of our favourites, looking at exactly what makes them so fabulous. Now you can feel like champagne room service is just a phone call away (even if the reality is more like a mug of Earl Grey)…

If The Pink House had a hotel…
You might have noticed from the Pink House Instagram that the list of pink places on our bucket list (it’s pronounced ‘bouquet list’, of course) is growing ridiculously long.

Paper Collective Amelie Hegardt Dancer, £45 from Selfridges
You’ve just moved into your brand new rented home, a blank canvas of white walls and cream carpets. You’re excited to make the place feel like home. But wait. What are the rules here? Are you allowed to paint the walls? Are pictures okay? Is blu-tac more annoying than banging a hole in the wall? Can the curtains come down? Can new shelves go up…?

Look. At. Those. Tiles.
The Wing is a female only workspace – but much more than this, it empowers women to achieve in their careers and partners with non-profits to support the advancement of marginalised women and girls. It’s even been called a ‘millennial-meets-suffragette’ space…

Are you ready, are you ready for love?
Love Island is back, but we’re less interested in analysing the Pantone shade of the contestants’ tans (somewhere between Mango Tango and Atomic Tangerine) and more about rating the rooms inside the new villa out of 10. So pour yourself a tequila sunrise, put on your teensiest swimwear and decide if these interiors are 100% your type on paper…
