My name is Mary and I'm an Interior design professional, a blogger and an interior design tutor. I like to blog about great design I've seen, found and experienced. I have a HUGE appetite for design candy and love going to salvage/vintage/antique fairs and sales. Have a look at my weekly Monday Inspiration and stop by to read about the things catching my eye.

Today over at Hearthome {Vintage love}

Timeout Tuesday {living vicariously through Vogue Living}

One of the joys of reading blogs and interiors magazines is the opportunity to peak inside other people’s lives. In my mind I always have a Lloyd Grossman impersonation running “Who lives in a house ...

Wednesday Wants {M.I.A}

So the reason I’ve been missing in action is due to no electricity or wi-fi for 2 days. For me this has been absolute hell. I tried to be brave and do chores that didn’t require these essentials but ...
