119: Barbiecore and all things Pink Jul 05, 2023

Show notes

Barbiecore pink is everywhere this summer. Spurred on by the trend and news that the film has in fact led to an utter drought of pink paint across the country, Kate and Sophie tackle a hot subject. Of course they don't share the same views on the colour and it's many shades, from fuschia to coral or rose - so tune in this week because hot pink rules the room.

118: Why the British have the best taste: Interview with Anglophile and designer Jonathan Adler Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

Kate and Sophie sit down to drink tea with renowned designer, ceramicist and founder of a

global brand, Jonathan Adler. Through the cacophony of teacup clinkage, Jonathan shares

his esteemed knowledge for all things design. While growing up in New Jersey and based in

New York, he has a strong passion for British crafts and architecture which has heavily

influenced his work. A potter at his core Jonathan’s Modern American Glamour aesthetic

has spiralled out to from cups to cushions, then onto sofas for the cushions, as he slowly

grows his global empire personifying irreverent luxury. He brings a felling of joy to

everything he does, and he was a delight to interview. Enjoy.

117: Bedroom Special - The Secrets to Designing the Perfect Night's Sleep Jun 22, 2023

Show notes

bedroom design can contribute to optimum rest and recuperation. With more data coming

out every year on the importance of sleep to our health, happiness and longevity, it’s time

cosy colours, Sophie has just redecorated her bedroom in an acid bright maximalist

wallpaper complete with geometric striped headboard. Sweet dreams or a psychedelic

nightmare?

110: How to Make the Old Feel New May 04, 2023

Show notes

This week on the show we are looking at how to blend old pieces of furniture or objects

within a more contemporary interior. #GrannyCore may be all the rage on Tik Tok but for

those of us on the other side of 30 (possibly even 40) it’s a little too close to be ironic.

You might have inherited some furniture from your actual Granny. You might have bought

antiques from someone else’s Granny and there’s an art to blending antiques and second-

hand pieces that doesn't look too “junk shop”.
