Read the whole journal- 01A green bathroom that feels calm
One deep green on the tiles, walls and ceiling, and why the mirror is round.
- 02The case for a velvet sofa
It wears better than linen, hides more than you'd think, and the pile brushes back.
- 03Open shelves, without the clutter

- 04White paint for a north room
Cool whites turn gray in north light. Pick one with a little yellow, and test it at four o'clock.
- 05What to keep in a Victorian house
Cornicing, shutters and the odd wonky door: the things you can't buy back.
- 06Lighting a room in three layers
A ceiling light alone flattens a room. Add lamps at eye level and one low glow.
