Moodboard Monday: Green, Green Grass

13 May 2013

The sun is shining at last and as we mentioned a week or so ago whilst ‘Meeting the Team’, we are starting to get our green fingers on and head out to sort out the little patches of green attached to our houses that once resembled a lush garden!

Fabric of the Month: Inventor by Andrew Martin

08 May 2013

Now you may be thinking we are a little biased as we featured another Andrew Martin book just a couple of months ago but we can’t help but feature them again! Andrew Martin fabrics form a staple within our hundreds of designer fabric books due to their diverse and ever-so useful range! And no other book shows this better than Inventor.

This book is packed with just about every style of fabric you could imagine and there really is something to suit all décor styles and tastes. From paisley prints to tapestry inspired weaves, the entire collection is underpinned by a fantastic selection of plain, slubby linens and soft cottons.
