As you all know from my excitement in last weeks post, I am going to be an Uncle for the first time and I cant wait. Last week, I put together some inspiration to get me inspired as I will be designing my Niece / Nephew's Nursery. From the lovely images and some colours that myself and my Sister-in-law loved, here is the theme for the baby's nursery :) It's going to look gorgeous! Have a great weekend. </div>

<br />
The Entrance Hall is one of the most important spaces when it comes to decorating your home as this is the first thing people see when they visit. Unfortunately, this space is one of the most forgotten about and neglected spaces when we re-decorate.<br />
I find that a lot of people don't realise the potential in their Entrance Halls or feel that they shouldn't spend the money here as it's just a passing space. The truth is that you don't have to spend a fortune in this area to create a welcoming space that is warm and inviting to friends and family.<br />
Below are so great examples of inviting Entrance Halls that are treated like they are an extension of the living space. Some of which the home owner has slashed out on, and some are done on a budget but still look and feel welcoming. The important thing to remember is that even the images that look expensive... there are always inexpensive alternatives you can achieve that will create a look for a fraction of the price. <br />

Well... this my friends is what I can only describe as my perfect Kitchen. I am a little lost for works with this post as I don't want to rant on about detail detail detail, hehehe. Everywhere I look in this Kitchen, my design senses go into overdrive... OK, here I go...<br />
Look at the clean edge and smooth detail on the fitted black units and how they work so beautifully with the contrasting free-standing antique island unit (heaven). look at those black and white patterned floor tiles and how they sit so comfortably in the space. The thin blackened steel windows are so elegant and balanced against the white wall. The thin stools have been chosen so not to distract from the gorgeous turning of the island unit legs, but are slick and sexy in their own right.<br />
Ok, I'm going to stop there... I'm getting far too excited, hahaha. What do you think of this Kitchen?<br />
The Kitchen was designed by the fabulous <a href="http://www.jhinteriordesign.com/" target="_blank">Jessica Helgerson</a>, who I have been a huge fan of for a long time.<br />

I'm currently designing a beautiful hotel in the gorgeous York, UK and I'm at that all exciting concept stage where I get to spend hours looking at lush images to aid me in my design process. So whilst doing this I just thought I share some lovely finds with you... No reasoning for my choice of black walls but it started becoming a theme so I thought I'd stick with that for this post as I'm actually really loving the dark wall look at the moment... Theres actually something really therapeutic about these interiors. Enjoy! Happy hump day everyone :)<br />

I've known about these guys for some time now and have been dying to write about them and share this uber cool / uber creative design team with you all.<br />
<a href="http://busterandpunch.com/" target="_blank">Buster + Punch</a> know how to shake up any interior with their very 'extraordinary' products. The London based designers started life in an East London garage where they discovered a passion for designing and creating things they loved, from light fittings, motorcycles, to furniture. This expressive passion behind closed doors developed into these amazing products you will see below.<br />
Below is just a small taster of the amazing lighting range they have developed. Just check out the furniture they do too... bloomin awesome! I'm not going to put too many of their products on this post as I really want you to see for yourself. There is something seriously rock and roll about these guys... I love it.<br />

<br />
Yes, that's right folks, I'M GOING TO BE AN UNCLE... AHHHH! I am so so so excited you have no idea :)<br />
My Twin Brother told me the news 15 weeks ago and I have been dying to tell all my friend and blog family. At times I've nearly burst with excitement and frustration by not being able to tell anyone until my beautiful Sister-In-Law, Beccy, knew everything was ok.<br />
So I am officially thrilled to announce that there is another Wilson entering the world this coming Summer and the Wilson clan are all grinning from ear to ear with happiness and excitement.<br />
My Mum makes me laugh the most though as she is a jolly soul at the best of times but has been singing and dancing around the whole town tell everyone the news whether she knows them or not, hehehe - bless her :)<br />
<br />
So on that exciting note, I thought it would be appropriate to do todays post on Children's Rooms. I was inspired to do this as I will be designing my future Niece or Nephew's Nursery. I offered my design services and decorating skills to my Brother and Beccy as a gift to celebrate the announcement.<br />
<br />
So here are some lovely images of nurseries and kids rooms to get us inspired:<br />

<br />
In April last year, my close friend Fee broke the news to me and our friends that she was pregnant!<br />
Those of you who know me or have followed my blog will know how slushy and sentimental I am, so, you guessed it... I shed a tear or two. I think is was the exciting news that Fee was going to be a Mother combined with the way in which she told me. Fee just stood talking to me for 5 minutes before I noticed a small London underground sign on her coat in the form of a badge / pin. The words 'baby on board' replace the usual 'Underground' text... well, this is where the tears of joy came, hahaha.<br />
<br />
So, 9 months later little Thomas was born. He is the most beautiful little boy I have ever seen and my face lights up every time I see him. Thomas is now 6 weeks old and has already developed a fab little character. I am also delighted to say that I am one very proud Godfather to the little man.<br />
<br />
As a little pregnancy gift to Fee and Steve, I asked if they wanted a few maternity photos taken. Fee was now 8 and a half months pregnant... Thomas could have come at any moment.<br />
So, on a very cold Sunday morning, Fee, Steve and I set out to the local woods to use as a lovely winter back drop for the shoot. (sorry for dragging you through the woods at 8 and a half weeks Fee, hehehe).<br />
<br />
Here are some of the photos from the shoot:<br />

As a designer, detail is the most important aspect in the design process. Detailing doesn't have to mean that every part of the designed interior needs to have wacky and intricate elements. A well detailed design can be something so subtle that it blends seamlessly into its form.<br />
Below, I have collected a few images where I feel that this subtle principle works extremely well. It really is all in the detail.<br />

<br />
Good afternoon everyone. Today I just wanted to share a few lovely lights I have recently come across. As you all know by now, I have a huge love for brass, bronze and timber combos, so there is no surprise that quite a few on the lamps in todays post are exactly that, hehehe. The first one is my personal favourite at the moment and I'm desperate to use it in one of my up-coming projects... lets just hope my clients fall in love with it as much as I have. I hope you have all had a great weekend :)<br />

I love this kids room so much. Colourful, simple, and sophisticated... The simple furniture and colour palette would work great for both sexes (even though there's a bit of pink!) Pink is cool... well the right hues! Come on guys, back me up, hehehe. Happy Friday everyone. Hope you all have a great weekend :)<br />

I first came across Dutch <a href="http://www.delfttiles.com/" target="_blank">Delft Tiles</a> whilst freelancing at a design company called <a href="http://www.centraldesignstudio.com/" target="_blank">Central Design Studio</a>, working on an amazing restaurant called <a href="http://www.unionjacksrestaurants.com/" target="_blank">Union Jacks</a>, Winchester, UK, owned by Jamie Oliver.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Hand painted Delft Tiles have been popular since the Sixteenth Century, and many of the designs offered today have changed little since then! </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">Delftware</span><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">, or Delft </span>pottery<span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">, denotes blue and white pottery made in and around </span>Delft<span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"> in the </span>Netherlands.</span></span><br />

I just love this image above of an old dairy work room which shows Delft Tiles used to depict a classic dairy farming scene. Back in the 16th and 17th Century Delft tiles where used a lot in this format, to create beautiful hand painted scenes, often using the countryside as a main subject matter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today these beautiful hand painted blue and white tiles are still used in a tradition way, such as country kitchens, bakery shops and fireplace surrounds. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I personally would love to see more of these tiles used in a more contemporary surrounding to bring them into the 21st Century. I love how they have been used as a headboard in the first image... what a great idea :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have put together a 'Delft Look' Board, to show how to create a look for your kitchen. I have mixed the tiles with some traditional elements and relatively contemporary pieces to show you how great these can work with different design elements and materials. </div>

A great Delft style cushion or two, would look great in a very clean-lined contemporary space. You can get these from <a href="http://www.houseandleisure.co.za/cape-influenced-embroidery/" target="_blank">House of Leisure</a>.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I would describe myself as a bit of a city, but I love the cosiness of country living. This home below is a wonderful example of how to achieve a comfortable yet contemporary, country style in the middle of the hustle and bustle of city life. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Lucky for somebody, this Swedish two-story penthouse in the middle of Sweden, is for sale... I wish I was the lucky buyer!!! Renovated by Marianne Aaron Architect this stunning home boasts a glamorous, elegant, yet rustic style. The dark timber feature are timelessly fused with very contemporary furnishes and clean lines. </span><br />
The large living room is perfect, especially with the fireplace niche in the sidewall for storage of firewood. The painted black windows are a great contrast with the brown floor, and beautiful in wide boards.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I was charmed by the kitchen, with marble table and bench with cushions in rustic linen.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">In the attic the roof structure was kept exposed, with brick walls were painted white and the floor, unlike the lower floor was coated with beautiful ceramic tiles.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I like the harmony in decorating, neutrality, lighting and cosy result. I would actually go as far as saying that this home is just perfect... When can I move in? ;)</span><br />

As most of you know, I have a huge passion for photography, but hardly ever display my work. 99.9% of my own photography is on my laptop, or on various photo-sharing web-sites! Well not any more... This weekend I am determined to buy some really lovely frames and create my very own and very personal Gallery Wall... Exciting :)<br />
I have searched the Internet all week trying to get inspiration for my Gallery Wall, and what best way to hang my photos. This post is also a great opportunity to share my finding with you all.<br />
By the way... Now that I have my inspiration... I don't know which style is my favourite! Please help me decide. Which one is your favourite?<br />

<!--StartFragment--><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The snow fell all weekend
here in London, which was so exciting. I always feel like such a kid when it
snows; snow ball fights, snow man building, and amazing photography
opportunities. </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> As Winter is still well and truly here and here to stay for a
while, I thought this post would be very appropriate. As soon as I saw
this Colorado home I fell in love with it. Designed by <a href="http://www.studiosofield.com/" target="_blank">Studio Sofield</a>,
this Aspen getaway 'raises alpine style to a whole new level'. </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The beautiful
design of this contemporary home sits seamlessly into its natural mountainous
surroundings with ease whilst still meeting the design brief of a modern /
traditional home set out by the clients. (The clients being a husband and wife
with very different design views). </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">“I think of myself as a behaviorist,”
Sofield says. “My design for this home or any home, really emerges from an
understanding of who the clients are and how they prefer to live. Because I’ve
worked with this couple for more than two decades, we had a pretty good head
start on the process.” </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I feel the design team at Studio Sofield have blended
the clients wishes for both modern and traditional, perfectly through the
modern structural detailing i.e. the large double height living space, and
stunning traditional materials and finishes i.e. tone walls, natural timber
panelling and beautiful patterned carpets etc. </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> “The goal is always
balance, in weight, mass, texture, colour, everything,” Sofield notes. “It’s
the same for the architecture and the interiors. I tend to judge furniture more
on shape than pedigree. The casual, collaged feel of the mix here seems right
for this kind of house.” </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I couldn't agree more... Design is all about balance
and this is one of those perfect examples.</span></span><!--EndFragment-->

As a Interior Architect, one of the first things I was taught, alongside creating forms within a building (space planning), was using light! Light is so so important to any design. Light creates personality, character and can change the mood or a space instantly!<br />
Most natural lighting enters a space through our windows casting certain shadows depending on where the sun is in the sky. This post is about optimising light through the use of light entering a space from above. Some of the spaces featured in this post use the ceiling forms as well as natural light to create fantastic shadows through the space, which is what this design element is all about.<br />
Companies such as VELUX® have a<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> great range of Skylight windows including VELUX roof <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">windows, VELUX flat roof windows, and instant window balconies called </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.velux.co.uk/private/products/velux_roof_windows/roof-balcony_and_-terrace" title="CABRIO Balcony">CABRIO® Balcony</a></span>, as well as great window treatments such as blinds etc which you can see over at <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><a href="http://veluxblindsdirect.co.uk/">veluxblindsdirect.co.uk</a>.</span></span></span></span><br />

I just love how the light cascades down through the unusual skylight in the two images above. In the first of the two images, the form of the skylight together with the angled walls, create great tones and interesting geometric patterns... It's really lovely!<br />

This skylight is fab. I love the way it really pulls you through the space through the hidden skylight which shines onto the steps and through into the next room.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Skylights even work in traditional and industrial spaces too... Just look at the interior above. This beautiful iron door continues up into the ceiling allowing more light to enter this great space. It works really well as the material and style for the door, window and skylight for a perfect relationship with each other and their surrounding. Structure and internal deco working in perfect harmony. I hope you like the images. </span><br />

Most say that the heart of the home is the Kitchen, but I'd say that the Lounge is equally as hearty and a space to crash in-front of the TV as well as a place to entertain. Getting this space right can be a challenge when it comes to re-designing and getting it right.<br />
Today I want to share a few of my favourite Living spaces where I feel the space offers comfort, timelessness and class. From modern to traditional. Tell me which one is your favourite...<br />

Inspiration is everywhere... especially the great outdoors. I have always been inspired by nature and the natural tones and geometry natural offers. It's so easy to take nature for grated and not spend time really appreciating the beauty that surrounds us. Every now and then I make an effort to escape city living and take time out to enjoy the countryside, and it's here I can, not only clear my mind, but really take inspiration from the forms surrounding me.<br />
I have put together three mood boards that I feel capture the element of pure harmonious living. I hope you like them... Let me know what you think :)<br />

Hey guys and gals. This is the first post in my <u>New Feature</u> 'Meet the Designer'. Once a month I will be interviewing a designer who carries a unique and extremely creative presence in all that they do.<br />
This weeks designer is Andy Lampard of 'The House With' - A fantastic designer and good friend.<br />
Andy started his e-mail back to me with this... which I thought was well funny and so so true, hehehe:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">Hi Stuart, thanks for this great opportunity.</span></span><span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">It’s lovely to put one of our conversations in print for once.</span></span><span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">How many ‘wise words’ have we shared and then blurred away into the bottom of a philosophers pint!"</span></span></blockquote>
Here are a few images of the great projects 'The House With' have worked on recently. The interview follows on from theses amazing photos... Enjoy! (Watch out for Andy's wittiness, hahaha)<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">Q.</span> Can you tell me about 'The House With' and your role within the company?<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">A. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">Thehousewith is us! Primarily we are friends and in work we simply have a great deal of respect for each other. </span></span><span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">We are an independent design consultancy, we believe in the artisanal craft of design and its appropriate creation. </span></span><span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Along with our growing list of collaborators we provide a really extensive breadth of design ability from conceptual architectural design, visualisation to illustration and web development. We do this as individual elements or as a full process.</span></span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">We decided around two years ago to join forces, 6 companies now form the 6 partners of the brand- each of us specialising in a particular element of the design process. </span><span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">My role is mainly within the research, creative and narrative start to our projects, this is my specialism and publically where I will hold responsibility. </span></span><span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Within the studio however we do all muck in and help each other out throughout the entire process. </span></span><span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">We work within the idea of project leads – one of us is always responsible for the entire project and how it runs. </span></span><span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">For each element the lead will then take on a tailor made team of people from our partners and collaborators to complete the works to the highest level possible – each element being cared for with vested interested by a specialist. </span></span><span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This means that although my primary role is in the story at the beginning I do often see a project all the way through with the team, that’s a really important aspect to all of us.</span></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The story to me is the essence of a great design, you have to have purpose and meaning when creating otherwise you are just ticking boxes. </span></span><span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I think as soon as you walk into a place you can feel a designs integrity, if it has been loved and cared for, if the elements around and within it talk and really for me I can only find this sort of integrity in the facts that surround a project and their pure representation – this is what I would class as the story.</span></span></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Specifically in that order. </span></span><span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">These are our Hallmarks at thehousewith… which together with a process / order of events is what ties us together and enables us to adapt to any situation with absolutely no house style.</span></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Firstly you must question, find out exactly what you are dealing with. </span></span><span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Then you can formulate a concept of fact. Non subjective, void of personal opinion and therefore a solid foundation from which you can be informed and elaborate. </span></span><span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Once laid out you must learn to communicate in a tailored manner, so that the information projected if fully understood, mis-understandings and cross wired preconceptions are the downfall of all great design intent.</span></span></blockquote>

<span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Finally you must adapt, building is a wild creature and throws challenges at even the most prepared. If you have strong foundations laid a solution to an onsite issue is always be possible if your mind is open. </span></span><span style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">(If you are interested in this we have just completed our case study brochure which illustrates with two contrasting projects how this collaborated process works).</span></span></blockquote>

Thank you very much Andy. Great interview from a great designer and friend. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did :)<br />

I came across this today and had to share it with you all as a follow up to this mornings '<a href="http://whatwilsonwants.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/timber-treats.html" target="_blank">timber treats</a>' post.<br />
This space has to be in my top 5 dream offices to work in. Digital ad agency, <a href="http://ubiquitous.co.uk/blog/our-office" target="_blank">Ubiquitous</a> didn't bother getting the designers in to create their Manchester based office... No, co-founders Andy Buchan and Neil Boote designed and sourced everything themselves. All I can say to these guys is... WOW! That is an achievement to be very very proud of.<br />
Using stained walnut, white tiles, cool graphics and industrial finishes gives this space plenty of character, which is complimented with a minimalistic approach yet very cosy atmosphere. This interior will still be very cool in years to come with is clever use of vintage accents and timeless style.<br />

<br />
I always find that the excessive use of wood in interiors can often result in the space looking like a alpine chalet. But, if done correctly can look fabulous! Here are a few images I have put together, where the designer has achieved a great balance with the use of timber. In most of there images, the designer has used timber cladding to decoratively highlight key features and pieces of furniture.<br />
I hope you are all having a great week :)<br />
