I'm so happy this is finally coming together! This is a series of posts I dreamed up many, many months ago and I stumbled across it in a notebook and it made me smile so I finally got my ducks in a row and made it happen. Welcome
Dublin
Obsessed with mid-century credenzas and vintage sideboards? Join the club. Our hunger for 20th century design shows no sign of abating, and, with so many people stuck renting, there are a lot of us out there looking for beautiful, affordable pieces that – much as I love Ikea – don't
Personal
Hello! How was your weekend? Mine involved a lot of sleeping, a bit of sniffling, and the most gorgeous succulent I've ever laid eyes on. After not one, not two, but three trips to the doctors in our house (nothing major though) Ben and I basically cancelled everything
Nature
After rather a lot of hibernation, I'm looking forward to brighter days and getting outside that little bit more – so made a lil' gif to celebrate*. It features some of my favourite outdoorsy things – the beach, the way the setting sun backlights trees creating the most beautiful
Recent Work
Shots form the very cool home of Jonathan McCrea, presenter of TV3's The Lie for a recent issue of Image. Now that there's a record player in my life, I'm very envious of his gorgeous wall of vinyl.

Food
Have you come across Bean and Goose? Created by Karen and Natalie Keane, sisters and chocolate makers, it has become a new obsession. Their artisan single origin chocolate is handmade in small batches each week in their kitchen in the Wexford countryside and can now be found in the Temple
