Dear Designers’ Sunday afternoon surf brings you her five absolute favourite things from Cath Kidston.

For days when the domestic goddess wins out……….

Well, it’s not just the jug I want…its the whole caboodle.  Plates…bowls…cups…

Because they go so well with the dotty china…

Because even domestic goddesses drink wine…

A classic with the Cath Kidston touch…

To fall into after all that baking!!

Punchy… bold… colourful…the embodiment of Jeanine’s mantra …”modern, soulful, style”……….

Mandela

Dove

Silhouette

Available from Aphrochic Shop

Pure self-indulgence from Dear Designer.

While the BF drills, saws, nails, and hammers in the bedroom next door…she creates moodboards………

Thinking…soft… feminine… a touch of glamour… but not overly “pretty”.

Can’t remember if I told him its going to be pink!

Exactly as Dear Designer would imagine Donna Karan’s apartment to be…tasteful, restrained and predominately black and white……….

Cheaper than the real thing……….

Not on the High Street.com

Dear Designer has yet another fantasy.  To live high above the crowds in a spacious, light filled box.  With uninterrupted views of the city below and access to unlimited light.  To have space to ride a bicycle if she likes… to have vast white walls on which to hang art… a gallery to survey her kingdom, and a minimalist kitchen that is just heaven to clean.  Oh, and a terrace to sit on at the end of the day with a gin and tonic.

This one ticks all the boxes nicely……….

Dear Designers’ Sunday afternoon surf brings you her five absolute favourite things from Nordic House.

A little forward planning this week for when the weather is kinder, and entertaining in the garden is more than just a fantasy……….

An essential item for setting the mood as the sun goes down.  Candles, candles and more candles…

Vintage looking pots filled with fragrant herbs…

Table runners in denim blue to create that Ralph Lauren look…

Napkin rings that add a bit of sparkle…

And yet more candles.  Love the imperfections!

Desire to Inspire

Inspiration of a purely selfish kind.

Dear Designer is in the middle of a major renovation on the master bedroom.  Walls have been stripped, holes have been filled, and omg the ceiling is down!  The end is most definitely not in sight.

Never mind…lets look at some pretty pictures……….
