Hopefully, you can pick up some tips and tricks which help change your surroundings for the better.

Dedon outdoor furniture is fantastic. It’s light, attractive, well-engineered and loves being outside in the harshest conditions. We have a setting on the terrace in Queenstown, New Zealand which has been through almost a decade of sun, rain and snow (literally). Still looks as if we bought it last week.
I have even drunk champagne sitting in a Dedon chair at the bottom of a swimming pool!

I love this classic sitting room. The mossy greens are a wonderful foil against the richness of the Georgian oak furniture.

Jamie Allpress antiques
My friend Jamie Allpress has just relaunched his website with a cleaner, more functional design. He buys and restores some fantastic English and European furniture and works of art. I was in his Melbourne shop the other day and saw a table that was 500 years old. One aspect (one of the many) I love about antiques is that they are probably the ultimate example of recycling.
