What to do on a rainy day...

Rain is forecast for this weekend so we know where we’ll be heading: www.idealhomeshow.co.uk! It’s a week’s entertainment in itself just getting around all eight shows from interiors to food, garden and gadgets. The show is over 100 years old and is set to change venue after 2012, so we wouldn’t miss it.

We’ll be hoping the weather improves next week as work continues on our projects in the Cotswolds, Surrey, Bath and Gloucestershire. We’ve a lot on at the moment, from listed Georgian buildings to modern windmill interiors, so we are having to keep thinking creatively about the right style for each property. One size very much does not suit all, so it’s important to us to listen to our clients and interpret their brief correctly. Running up sketches and sample boards is one of the many tools we use to make sure we’re on the right track. Take a look at some of the sketches we’re working to at the moment:

We’re particularly excited about one of the homes we’ve been working on, which is set to appear in an interiors magazine (all a bit hush-hush at this stage so we can’t say which one). They need good weather for the shoot, especially as they’ll want to do some exterior as well as interior shots. Fingers crossed it all happens – we’ll let you know when the magazine comes out!
