November 15, 2020

This half term, determined to do something to counteract the Year of Doom, I decide a spoiler of a family staycation is in order.

June 26, 2019

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. So in the interest of getting organised, we’ve decided to create pink travel guides for our favourite places. They’re like regular travel guides, but read through rose-tinted glasses…

"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."
