Retro tiles

Ok, so this room isn't a bathroom, but I love love love the tiles. This is the Parco Dei Principi hotel in Sorrento.

And the obsession continues

Of course - I can't just think about something briefly and then move along to other matters. No, it has to be an all-consuming issue that I obsess about at length. And so continues my hunt for lovely doors and windows! I've been poking through back issues, and I found the top two shots from Cornelia Murphy's house, featured in the March/April issue, and these lovely doors in Eva Byrne's house, which featured as My Favourite Room in the November/December issue. I've been calling and mailing around for quotes, so if anyone has recommendations I would love to hear all about them. Or, indeed, horror stories - it's good to know where potential danger may lie!

Drool-worthy kitchen

I find professional kitchens the most inspiring in terms of style; that stainless steel is so sleek and modern, and accompanied by rectangular porcelain tiles it looks really striking. Apparently Original Style, a UK tile manufacturer, was chosen to tile the kitchen that will be used in Series 4 of Hell's Kitchen. LOVE those brushed stainless steel tiles, swoon.
