I recently posted an image on Instagram of a pink clawfooted cast iron bath, because owning a freestanding, clawfooted bath - ideally a pink one - is on my interior bucket list; those home-related items I simply MUST have before shuffling stylishly off this mortal coil.

The Pink House basement before: an ugly, oversized sofa bed, threadbare carpet and not much else

"Fabulous family living!"

Emily Murray founder of The Pink House Living

"Hello! I’m Emily Murray, founder and editor of The Pink House. I’m a lifestyle journalist who has written and edited for loads of different publications, including Stylist, The Guardian, Grazia, Cosmopolitan, Conde Nast Traveller, Brides, and Mother & Baby. Here I am in the bricks-and-mortar Pink House in South East London, where I live with the Pink House Husband (PHH) and our two small, semi-feral boys. Our fabulous Christopher Farr sofa is covered in marker pen and chocolate, and the Eames rocker has a few suspicious stains. Come in and make yourself at home. No need to take your shoes off."
