Re: Taking pebble dashing off the front of the house

We used Doug Mahon several years ago after he was featured in the Evening Standard. The work still looks fabulous, people regularly comment on the beautiful brickwork.

Re: Friend copying my house design room by room.

From why I’ve seen from the houses South of the River , they all look the same inside- there isn’t much design savy . If she doesn’t live next door and you don’t see it often forget about it but let me guess: all white kitchens, sitting bar in the middle , taupe sitting rooms big screen tvs over th...

Re: What is a luxury kitchen?

Roundhouse did the kitchen in our last house. They were spectacularly arrogant and unhelpful. When we moved we used a different company, which says it all.

Re: Stokke Tripp Trapp

Sorry to have ruffled you - I thought we were having fun! My comments address the design and the marketing messaging, not your opinion or your commendable altruism.

Re: Stokke Tripp Trapp

Ah, the clunky, expensive ugly Stokke toe-stubber! Sold ours with glee, but wish I had chopped it up and burnt it. Recommend you get something more manoeuvrable and easier to clean. And less stubby of the toes. It's awkward and heavy to move around and you have to buy all kinds of stuff to make it a...
