Geninne's inspiring home

This home comes pretty close to what I would imagine my dream home to be like. It is the home of Geninne Zlatkis and Manolo Benitez - designed and built by Manolo himself, an architect and furniture designer. Such a talented couple - you may already know Geninne through her fascinating art blog. I can't get enough of this house in Querétaro, Mexico, which Geninne shares with us on her blog everyday. I'm particularly taken with her huge studio which is filled with her beautiful artwork and perfectly arranged items, not to mention the view! This couple is such an inspiration!

A favourite corner of my house

this is a favourite corner of my house - displaying 2 of my recent paintings along with a gorgeous bookshelf containing all my cooking books and photo albums and a cute lampshade from india. There's a baby's shoe box on the bottom shelf that belongs to my son - it was his first pair of shoes (in 1995). Also a handmade/handpainted terracotta bowl with lid from Italy on the top shelf. Oh, and a cheap tall lamp from Ikea - oh well, it does the job!

Toast

The House & Home room of the Toast flagship store in London were styled immaculately by Twig Hutchison whose portfolio is just amazing! I love the Old World look of it...
