This loft in London’s Piper Building should really be sponsored by Dinesen as their floors come into their own in the 12m long open-plan kitchen/living/dining area. The uninterrupted floor lines and wide planks give the room grand dimensions and the large double-height windows flood the space with light.

When architectural elements are this strong you don’t want to clutter the space and take away from the drama so the couple have stuck to a minimalist theme with clean lines, custom-made and quality furniture with some design classics that will stand the test of time.

My favourite part has to be the work space overlooking the central kitchen/dining area. A perfect ‘control tower’ for working mums keeping an eye on little rascals racing up and down on their scooters.

PEOPLE TO WATCH | THE PRESSERY

8 May 2015

the pressery, people to watch, east london, almond milk, four flavours, long-life almond milk, authentic, food and drink, natural living, plant based, community driven, nutritionally engaged, raw, organic, spanish almonds, cold pressed, trend, alternative to cows milk, natali and chi, super natural goodness

The Cowboy has been drinking almond milk as an alternative to cows milk since I’ve known him so when I came across The Pressery I got in touch with the dynamic duo from East London and found out about their rise to almond milk fame.

Natali and Chi met 10 years ago and bonded over a crazy love for food and drink. Disenchanted by the products available, they set about making their own almond milk at home which was so well received by friends and family that they decided to take the jump and start producing and selling almond milk full-time.

For them it’s about finding a connection between ‘natural living’ whilst also authentically integrating with the society and culture that we live in. Everything is made in East London. Nutritionally-engaged, locally-minded and community-driven.

“We use raw and organic Spanish almonds which means they haven’t gone through a heat process, so all the healthy oils remain intact and the nutritional content of the almonds have not been compromised.”

So, of course I couldn’t write this post without tasting the real deal and I can honestly say it is delicious! They come in four flavours (original, cacoa, berry and tumeric) and I tried the cacao one on the go which filled me up for a whole afternoon with no cravings for a snack. The Cowboy had a taste of the original flavour in his breakfast cereal and says it’s so much nicer than other shop-bought brands which is a massive compliment (if only you knew how fussy he is *rolles eyes*).

But the best bit is that they’ll be launching a high-quality and pure, long-life almond milk in the next few months so you can have some at home whenever you want. Yipee! No more traipsing around London for my Pressery fix. I’ll be first in line for a bulk order!

The Pressery is currently available in Ben’s House (Fitzrovia), Black Truffle (Belsize Park), Curio Cabal (Haggerston), Daylesford Organic (Notting Hill, Pimlico, Kingham, Gloucestershire, Selfridges Concession), The Detox Kitchen London, Eat17 Spar (Hackney), La Fromagerie (Marylebone), Holborn Dining Room Delicatessen (Holborn), Hubbub London, (The Grocery) Shoreditch, Hackney Fresh (Hackney Central), Macintyre Coffee (Hoxton), Melrose and Morgan (Primrose Hill, Hampstead), Sourced Market (St.Pancras International, Pop-Up Old Street Underground) and Tiosk (Broadway Market).

BLOG CRUSH | MUSTA OVI

6 May 2015

blog crush, musta ovi, marja wickman, Finland, Finnish, art director, stylist, blogger, blog, minimalist, architecture, photography, diy, trend, style, light, bright, Scandinavian style, form and function

I’m a blog junkie. There I’ve said it. I’ve got my nerdy little folders on Bloglovin and there’s one for ‘most favourites’ so I don’t miss a breath of the folks whom I truly admire amongst all the other 100something blogs I follow.

It’s mostly the photography, style and aesthetics that get me day-dreaming and I usually follow them on Instagram and Pinterest too. Kind of a style stalker – maybe I should think about re-naming my blog, though I’m sure somebody has already bought the domain.

So, today I’m going to introduce you to one of my blog crushes: Marja Wickman. She’s a Finnish art director and has been documenting the renovation of her new home on Instagram as well as her blog Musta Ovi – which means ‘black door’ for all non-Finnish speakers. Whenever I need peace and calm I just hop over and delight in her stunningly minimalist home where even the smallest detail is considered and deliberately styled to fit in with the overall aesthetic.

I’m sure she and her partner eat pizza out of card board boxes and watch Netflix like the rest of us but it sure won’t get captured on camera. And why should it!? Marja is not saying that dishes don’t pile up in her kitchen at times she’s just choosing not to show that side to the world. Some might say that this heavily edited version of her life makes her unauthentic but I’d disagree. For me she’s actually very authentic in showing us what she’s truly passionate about which is architecture, DIY, minimalism, Scandinavian style and photography.

If you like minimalism you’ll love Musta Ovi.

MODERN RUSTIC | WOODEN KITCHEN

4 May 2015

interiors, interior design, kitchen, wood, marble, robson rak, 2014 Australian Interior Design Awards, australia, dale, walk-in closet, modern rustic, trend, style

This wooden kitchen stopped me in my tracks… seriously, how gorgeous is this!? Thank you Pella for the introduction!

The combination of distressed solid oak and white marble is a perfect example of the modern rustic trend that I so love and the skylight brings wonderful soft light into what could be an otherwise dark extension. No surprise the interior architects Robson Rak were shortlisted for the 2014 Australian Interior Design Awards. They should have won if you ask me!

Check out the rest of the house including a to-die-for walk-in closet here.

COOL STUFF | GARDEN WISH LIST VIA ARTILLERIET

2 May 2015

Artilleriet, webshop, home wares, for the home, style, trend, garden, outdoor, gardening, apron, lemon tree, equipment, pots, daybed, wish list, decor, utility, contemporary design, vintage one-off finds, quality materials, modern rustic living

And here comes part two of my love-in with Artilleriet. I didn’t want to bombard you yesterday which is why I’ve split up my wish lists.

Today’s selection features everything I need for the garden which I’m hoping will get me in the mood for some gardening this weekend. Well, not everything of course but the all the nice bits that make gardening so much more pleasant. How gorgeous is that lemon tree!? I’ve got to have one as it works inside as well as outside – I just hope the fruit isn’t too much of a temptation for little scavengers hanging around the house.

I love Artilleriet’s mix of modern and contemporary brands such as Aesop to Muutu and Hay as well as artisan up and coming designer/makers that provokes the consumer to pop in again and again to check out new stock.

I’m sure I’ll be a regular.
