Me getting my autumn on for B&Q

Behind the scenes on my B&Q video

October 9, 2017

When B&Q asked me a few weeks ago if I'd make a film for them about decorating your home for autumn I was 80% excited and only 10% terrified/worried my mouth would look weird (the final 10% went on thinking about chocolate).

6 rooms that rock pink

February 10, 2017

Pink is not just for bedrooms. Or bathrooms. And it no way needs to have 'girly' or 'starve yourself' (thanks Kendall Jenner) connotations. I hope this post inspires you to add a bit more rose-tintedness to your life, whichever space you're renovating...

"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."
