Hi, I do have a question! I have a lovely - but aging - Kitchen which Eily was very involved in designing almost 18 years ago ❤️. While it works fantastically for us, we think this over-island light has had it's day! We are thinking of replacing with two or three hanging pendant lights. Does that sound like a good idea?! Would love your thoughts! Thank you, Gill

Yes I know I live a glamorous life as an interior designer.......but this is how I spend my morning - very cold and wet surveying this (amazing!) house - it has not been lived in or touched for years & it will be a long process to get it anywhere near its former glory - but I guarantee it will get there. So I'm guessing your home isn't in as much need of improvement as this? Here to help! No judgement!

People delay making decisions in their homes because they’re afraid of getting it wrong. But staying stuck is also a decision. Sometimes the right starting point is simply: “What’s bothering me most in this room?” Too dark? No storage? Feels unfinished? Furniture doesn’t fit? No personality? or - it's just a mess 🙄 That can be the first step in getting everything to improve.

Welcome to all our new members! I know you are all friends and family (so far!), and some may not be delighted with the deliberate cacography in the website title 🙄 — but, as the kids say, bear with! I would love this place to grow into a genuine community where members can come to ask questions about what they are planning for their homes. Most of you will have been clients of mine at some stage, so I believe you wouldn’t be here unless you felt I’m pretty good at what I do. So please feel free to post your questions about whatever dilemmas you may have (home-wise — for other things, there are other professionals around! 😅). YOU are a founding member, so this community will always be free for you. In the future, that may change — so invite your friends now, so they can be part of this new (free) adventure too.

“Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.”— Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel I see this all the time in homes. The ones that really work — the ones that feel calm, settled, right —don’t happen by accident. They come from people who care deeply about how they live. Who take time over decisions.Who don’t just go with what’s easy.Who want to get it right. That’s passion. And it matters. Because happier homes create happier people.
