Get baking with these Retro Enamel Bowls from Primrose & Plum. £15 for a set of three

One of my new favourite pastimes is baking. Yes, yes I know I’m a little late to the party but there’s nothing more therapeutic than having the radio on while baking a batch of brownies on a Sunday morning.

It must be my age as nowadays the flat is full of the delicious smell of cooking chocolate at the same time I used to be coming in through the door from a night out.

Given my recent obsession with baked goods, I have also naturally become obsessed with baking equipment which is why I love these Retro Enamel Bowls from Primrose & Plum.

They come in a set of three and are perfect for mixing everything from cake batter to meringues so you can create goodies until your heart’s content.

What’s more they’re stackable so you don’t need to worry about them taking up precious cupboard space.

Just A Little Joy introduces us to the fabulous world of House of Rym

For our design inspiration this week, we take a look at the musings of Just A Little Joy and Atticus and Finch

We always get very excited when we hear of a new blog (remember to let us know if you’re writing one), so as soon as news of Just A Little Joy reached us we knew we had to let you in on the secret.

Just a Little Joy is the work of Elle Decoration’s Homes Editor Tessa Pearson, so it’s fair to assume she knows her stuff when it comes to interiors.

The blog is split into easy to navigate sections and, as well as interiors, Tessa also writes about two subjects very close to our hearts; dogs and food!

We’re especially grateful to be introduced to House of Rym, whose path we’d not crossed before and, now we have, well let’s just say the bank balance will be taking a serious bashing.

Super cool Chisel & Mouse building models found via Atticus and Finch

Atticus and Finch has been a regular read for us for some time now and it’s one blog we go back to again and again for design news, quirky objects and beautiful buys.

As well as the recent brilliant Bauhaus exhibition review (remember it’s on at the Barbican until 12 August if you want to pay a visit), it was Emily Blunden’s post on Chisel & Mouse that got us reaching for the credit card.

They make paper models of iconic landmarks such as London’s Battersea Power Station and Hoover Building, and the famous Guggenheim Museum in New York City.

We want them all!

Remember, we want to hear about your blog and why it should be featured in our weekly round up so, if you’re writing a design or interiors blog and want to make our hit list, drop us a line and let us know.

Create a stylish children's room with this Dot Bed Linen from ALSO Home. From £10

A common complaint I get from friends with children is that they can’t find nice bed linen for their little ones’ rooms.

This Dot Bed Linen from ALSO Home is made from 100% cotton meaning there’s no nasties to irritate delicate skin and has a sweet multicoloured dot design.

Perfect for girls and boys alike, this bed linen will create a stylish children’s room and please the parents too.

GrayPants Bell Recycled Cardboard Handmade Ceiling Light, £249, from Rockett St George

Add some eco chic with this GrayPants Bell Recycled Cardboard Handmade Ceiling Light from Rockett St George. £249

Not so long ago being eco friendly in the home while creating a chic interior just didn’t go hand in hand.

Thankfully that’s changed as this GrayPants Bell Recycled Cardboard Handmade Ceiling Light proves.

At first glance, you assume these super cool lights are made from glass given a tortoiseshell effect but they’re actually hand crafted from recycled cardboard.

These sculptural beauties will look fab when hung in a row across a dining room or as a singular pendant in a hallway.

Wherever you use them you can rest assured you’ll be doing your bit for the environment.

Water Bobble Filter Jug in Blue, £29.66, from Oliver Bonas

Add some eco chic to your dining table with this Water Bobble Filter Jug in Blue from Oliver Bonas. £29.66

While water filter jugs are great, after all who wants to spend hundreds of pounds on fancy bottled water, they’ve not traditionally been the most attractive of products.

However, I’ve come across this rather cool Water Bobble Filter Jug from Oliver Bonas.

Available in blue or red, the clever bobble filters your water removing all those nasties to leave you with a jug full of clean, fresh water.

And as well as being clever, it’s rather stylish too which means it wouldn’t look out of place in the dining room.

Time to stop buying bottled water? We think so.

C-60 Cushion, £35, from Mini Moderns

Mix things up a little with the C-60 Cushion from Mini Moderns, £35.

Whilst there are many things I remember fondly from the 1980s – The Young Ones, my oversized hair, Simon Le Bon; there are also many I am glad to see the back of – Roland Rat, my oversized shoulder pads, the Birdie song.

The C-60 Cushion from Mini Moderns brings back one of my favourite 80s memories – the mixtapes my friends and I used to take great care to produce.

Decorated with hand-drawn cassettes, it is a fun way to add a bit of 80s nostalgia to your living room.

Also available in black and gold.

Give your mantelpiece a warm glow with the Heart Tea Light Holder from Graham & Green, £4.95.

I love the look of candlelight and the feel it gives to a room. And I have to admit that I have more candles, tea light holders, votives – as well as a candelabra – than anyone could possibly need dotted around my home.

The Heart Tea Light Holder from Graham & Green, however, is just so pretty (and at only £4.95 an absolute bargain) that I simply cannot resist adding yet another to my collection.

Add some Scandi style to your home with this Teddy Chair from Interior Addict. £449

As regular readers will know, I am utterly obsessed with chairs and this latest model from Interior Addict has really tickled my fancy.

As well as its super cute name, which implies it would hug you on miserable days, I adore the vibrant blue upholstery.

With a definite nod to retro Scandinavian design, this chair is also available in a variety of fabrics and a choice of two leg colours which means this is sure to become a firm favourite whatever your colour scheme.

Teapot Tiny Hearts, £89.50, from Summerill & Bishop

Make the perfect cuppa with the Teapot Tiny Hearts from Summerill & Bishop, £89.50.

Much as I love an enlivening espresso or a comforting hot chocolate, I am a tea girl at heart. And whilst, for a quick brew, it may be easier to pop a teabag in a mug, if you want a proper cup of tea you need a proper teapot.

I love the Teapot Tiny Hearts from Summerill & Bishop. It has a very cute design, in white and blue with little contrasting hearts, yet at 3 litres can manage 12 cups of your favourite blend.

Welcome your visitors with the purrfect Happy Cats Coir Doormat from Fields of Blue, £22.95.

You tend to find that people are either dog lovers or cat lovers.

Whilst I very much fall into the latter category, choosing to share my home with a couple of feline friends, I tend to steer clear of furnishings featuring cats.

However, I love the Happy Cats Coir Doormat from Fields of Blue, which makes a fun change, and the smiling cats never fail to make me smile too.

Moustache Corkscrew, £10.94, from Liberty

Add a touch of fun to your wine drinking with this Moustache Corkscrew from Liberty. £10.94

While this dreary weather may make picnics seems a long way off, they are one of my favourite summer pastimes – once the sun makes an appearance that is.

And while I know most wine bottles come with a screw cap, there are still some usually the traditional cork and there’s nothing more annoying then sitting down in a field to have lunch and realising you’ve forgotten the corkscrew.

Which is why I love this humorous Moustache Corkscrew from Liberty.

As well as adding a touch of quirkiness to your picnic, it’s compact enough to keep in your picnic hamper all year round meaning you’ll never be caught out again.

I have a confession to make – I am addicted to home interiors magazines. Whether drooling over the latest kitchen designs, checking out fab new gadgets or just nosing around other people’s houses, I simply can’t resist.

The Umbra Illuzine Magazine Rack from Red Candy offers a perfect way to display them in style. It is a wall-mounted unit in powder-coated steel and can hold 12 magazines, appearing to float on air.
