W

elcome to our spring issue – and my first

as editor. It’s a thrill to be looking after

Your Home and Garden while Kristina

Rapley is on maternity leave, especially

being a long-time reader and budding

renovation enthusiast myself.

Putting together a magazine is actually a bit like renovating

a house. It involves balancing practicalities, aesthetics and the

all-important budget; as well as honouring its past heritage,

enhancing its present features and figuring out how it can be

better in the future. Once it’s finished you feel immensely proud

• and rather exhausted.
  This issue is packed with inspiring people, from homeowners
  who’ve cleverly infused stark new-builds with personality to
  seasoned renovators who’ve overseen total transformations on
  tight budgets. It’s impressive stuff. I hope you enjoy the issue as
  much as the team and I have enjoyed putting it together for you.

DREAMING

of owning a mad, kaleidoscopic

Moooi carpet from ECC one day.

LISTENING

to pop-culture podcast

The High Low. Hosts

Dolly Alderton and

Pandora Sykes nail the

cool-yet-relatable dream-

BFF vibe every time.

LOVING

quirky vases like Jones

& Co’s beautiful ‘Radiant

Ruby’ from Bolt of Cloth.

BUYING

fun trinkets like this

paperweight from

Freedom for my new

workspace.

APPRECIATING
spring anemones. Simple,
striking and with just the
right amount of nana-chic.
