Something Blue Pop Up Shop

This week we have set up a new, exciting London-based pop-up shop to celebrate the Royal Wedding. At 'Something Blue' we will be showcasing the best in British design, from upcycled furniture to Eco wall flowers.

I have joined forces with university friends, Sj Guest Design (you may have realised she features quite often on this blog) Ellen Calvert and Emma Britton. All of us have gone our separate ways since graduating from Loughborough University but as we all have our own specialisms within the interior design world we decided there would be not better way to celebrate our excitement over the Royal Wedding than this shop.


The shop is only open for a week and closes at 4pm on Sunday 1st of May so if you want to pop down and see the products for yourself you will need to be quick! I'm in until 6pm today (Saturday) so please pop down and say hi! Enjoy the long royal wedding weekend

We also had a selection of Fabulous cakes provided by La De Dah Cakery, Louise is a artist with icing, with her, her cakes and a her wonderful home soon to be featured in Living Etc and 25 Beautiful Homes Magazines!

Save the date

I am really excited to be showing my Blue wallflowers and NEW teal/aqua ECO cushions at the Craft Central pop up shop with three other exciting friends and peers.

Check out the details below and hopefully we will see you there!

With the Royal Wedding set for the 29^th April, four British designers are celebrating the occasion with a weeklong showcase of all things blue.

Including names most frequently found in Selfridges, this one-week installation of interiors products will provide a great opportunity to furnish your own nest, or perhaps to pick up an appropriate wedding gift if you are lucky enough to be heading to Westminster that weekend.

Having borrowed the corner shop exhibition space at Craft Central - Clerkenwell, ‘Something Blue’ will host a mix of handmade home accessories and recycled designer furniture in every shade of the colour. Appearing on the guest list will be the popular aqua teal-wall flowers  by Lorna Syson, navy cushions and upholstery by Sarah-Jayne Guest, and Ellen Calvert will also be introducing her range of turquoise and knitted furnishings alongside Emma Britton’s blue hydrangea floral glass splashbacks.

Even if the Windsor’s invite hasn’t arrived yet, you are warmly invited to save the date, and join us for our celebration of all things old, new, borrowed and blue.

100% Design

Thank your to all those who came to meet Sarah and I at our stand H114 at 100% Design this year. We had a brilliant and very busy show meeting lots of new people.
We had very positive reactions to our work and were very proud that we managed to make our work complement each other within our space.

I always want to say a massive thank you to Gemma for Jam and all the wonderful ladies in the Press and VIP rooms who kept sending people down when they have seen the installations!

100% Design Set Up

I have spent the last two days setting up my joint stand at 100% Design. I will be sharing stand H114 with fellow designer and friend SjGuest Designs.
We had a rocky start, I turned up to find our whole stand painted a dark grey instead of just one wall! I range Sarah to let her know she maybe turning up to a stand looking quite different than she anticipated... all she really said was "you have to laugh" which was a relief but thankfully the event organisers were on the ball and the two walls which should have been left white were repainted before Sarah arrived at the stand! Check out the very grey and small looking stand!
The stand is now looking beautiful and with our furniture and textiles it makes the stand look quite a bit larger than when we arrived.
I have also completed the flower installation in the press and VIP rooms at 100% Design. The one in the press room spans a wall of 4 meters and the colours tone in really well with the other collaborators for the space so I am very excited to see all the lights on and it completely finished tomorrow!
