WHAT’S
EXCITING ME THIS WEEK
|
|
Designer colours
I recently spied images of
the former fashion-turned-interior designer Matthew Williamson’s
gorgeous house in Mallorca (where he had the misfortune to spend
lockdown, poor lad) and fell in love with his choice of colours. It
was the sky-blue walls and yellow paintwork in the kitchen that did
it for me. Is it bad to steal his style (or at least his palette)?

Kitchen gardens
Having built our first
raised beds this spring, there’s nothing more satisfying than eating
fruit and vegetables you’ve planted with your own fair hand. Having
your own kitchen garden though is one step up, so if you want a trawl
through houses for sale
where you can do more than just stick some basil on the windowsill,
let the property fantasy begin.

Half term fun
The kids are at home. The
weather’s looking good. So my advice is to lock away their screens,
chuck them outside (when you can) and let them not return till their
tummies are rumbling. We have some amazing ideas for
creating a child’s haven in your garden, with everything from
building tipis and hedgehog sanctuaries to upgrading your playhouse
to something you’d aspire to live in yourself.
