hot desking




After many years of balancing my laptop on my lap/coffee table/bed/sofa, I've finally resolved to find room in my poky little flat for a small office area. As a result I spent almost the whole yesterday wrestling with pieces of flat pack, and puzzling over why I might still have a handful of screws and unidentifiable plastic thingys left over seeing as the desk and drawers are built. This no doubt serves me right for buying unbelievably cheap furniture. But due to both financial and space constraints I had little other choice as I simply couldn't find anything which fitted the bill without costing a bomb.

Now I may have a cheap desk but am very cheered by the fact that I scored an absolute bargain on ebay and bought a gorgeous Kartell Louis Ghost chair at about 40% off its usual retail price.

I'm currently surrounded in chaos made by items which have been displaced by my new desk, and I still haven't worked out where the hell to put the printer, but I'm looking forward to creating a comfy inspirational space to work in once I'm done with the boring bits.


P.S I'm in love with the Eiffel Tower lamp pictured above, if anyone knows where I might find one in the UK please point me in the right direction, merci!

I've been away in a pretty little seaside town for what I hoped would be a relaxing weekend with friends but for various reasons turned out to be less so.

grey velvety sofas

More of my grey obsession, this time at home... I have a very large, comfortable and remarkably hardy sofa which was bought from a Habitat sale about ten years ago. Frustratingly it still has a fair bit of life left in it, but I'm sort of at the point of wishing it would hurry up and die. As much as I love it to this day, I could do with replacing it with something a bit smaller as it takes up a lot of space in my living room. However I have a principle at home of not replacing things until they are basically un-serviceable, and that means for now - it stays. In the mean time I was thinking of having some new covers made for it, as both sets of cream cotton and pale green velvet covers have seen better days now, and you guessed it - grey is the colour I'm opting for. Just slightly torn between the idea of sumptuous glowing dove grey or a more masculine deep charcoal. At the end of the day it'll have to stand up to the usual household wear and tear for at ...

Hows about a little bit of interior décor porn to start off the new year? Love the light, the floors, the monochromatic scheme and quirky features in these rooms although I'm slightly woeful about the fact that I barely scratched the surface of the endless list of jobs I have to improve my own little abode over the holidays. Never mind, I'll just pretend this is my flat instead. Images B&B Italia via Marcus Design
