Inside out - Courtyards & Terraces

Nowadays it's a bit of a luxury to have

outside space at home. To my mind a living

space built around a courtyard is the perfect

living situation...add a garden and a terrace

or two and who could ask for anything more. 

God Save The Food - Milano

If you're in the area of  Via Tortona 34 - Milano and

fancy a drink or something to eat you could do a lot

worse than popping into God Save The Food with it's

pleasing interior of clean lines and calm ambience.

Beautiful Parquet

At 53, Pembridge Road. London W11

I saw this amazing solid parquet in the

window of the SOLID FLOOR shop.

I think, when used in small amounts, 

transplanted into a concrete floor for 

example this would work beautifully.

Labour and Wait in London's East End

Walking past this corner shop in Shoreditch looking

in through the windows as I went by, curiosity pulled

me back and had me walk into the store. 

There is something so pure about the place. 

I browsed the clearly displayed goods, picking 

up things that I hadn't seen for, perhaps, decades.

It was as though I'd stepped through a time portal. 

So much of what I looked at in this curiosity shop of 

household goods and clothes took me back to my youth.

A very stylish, clean and comforting experience.

Two raw armchairs

These two armchairs, with their calico seats,  and their

raw hessian backs and armrests, were displayed at 

White Milano. Don't they almost seem to have faces?

I love Wikipedia

I use Wikipedia almost everyday. It is a

modern wonder, a multilingual encyclopedia 

that is updated (usually accurately) constantly.

My thanks to Jimmy Welsh for starting it.
