So many options. I’m going to replan my kitchen handles on a wet Saturday

Put them up here, share with everyone!

I should point out now, if it’s not obvious judging by the quantity of ‘collections’ I have, no I don’t have children

Levi’s now are at a real high. Anything Valencia Street, anything selvedge, anything black bar tack has gone through the roof. I do love a good Levi. I have a cupboard full of 60s, 70s and 80s and some oddities like these advertising ones, 76” waist, 55” leg:

Loving those so much

I’ve always love Moore, as long as I can remember. I have dozens of books on his works, I have his complete catalogue of sculpture and drawings. I particularly love his war time work and his London Underground pictures. I own a few of his prints, a sketch and a few bits of ephemera but the idea...

Trying to remember, did that one have the built in drinks tray inside it?

That was a good sideboard, but it was massive!

That just screams Murano, amazing that it wasn’t made there. Love that they had the cheek to call their glassworks Murano!

Cats bed is a Verner Panton Peacock Chair. Never meant it to happen but how can I say no now…

I do like a good lamp, this one is about the only one tall enough for our sitting room. It was a 60s Hungarian army ‘portable’ operating theatre lamp. I reworked it, converted to led and painted it Yeti desert turquoise. Chair is a Stokke peel chair in London transport moquette, table is a 1990s...

This is my view from where I am sat currently. I love glass, I do make stained glass for fun but not these two pieces. One was from the entrance of a glassworks, the other from a 60s house that got demoed for flats. I built the light boxes and had to do some repairs on the one on the left as it...
