> London bathroom - finished!

And finally, the London bathroom we have been working on, in a Grade 1 Listed property, is completed!  After many, many delays and obstacles to overcome, it looks amazing!

Being Grade 1 Listed, we had to work closely with English Heritage and retain all the existing features -  the bathroom is split onto two levels, 1.2 metres at it's widest part, full of awkward angles and even included a set of stairs.  Quite a challenge!

We used the wonderfully sculpted Phillipe Starck 'Edition 2' loo and shower set, long random sections of travertine stone tiles, black American walnut for bespoke counter tops and drawers and Amtico flooring. Keuco accessories and walnut framed pictures complete the look.

Thanks Jo and Jose for being such wonderful clients!

> new retailer "Rose & Grey"

We are absolutely delighted to be selling our range of products with Lyndsey at "Rose & Grey".  She has a fabulous webshop with an amazing range of products "chosen with love and care".

Really looking forward to working with you, Lyndsey.

> "Fisherman's Cottage" being shot for Coast magazine

We are very excited to hear that "Coast" magazine are to shoot Fisherman's Cottage for their Summer issue (we designed the interior with our Colliss & Quinton interior company last year).

Fisherman's Cottage overlooks Weymouth Harbour and is an absolutely charming holiday cottage - a fresh, contemporary twist on a traditional fisherman's cottage!

> new retailer "K Bijou" (Japan)

Another new retailer - K Bijou run by Kiyomi, whom we met one snowy day in December. She is stocking our products on her website, designed for the Japanese market.

> new retailer "Found Home Store"

Another new retailer to add to the list - Found Home Store, run by Jo Cannon.  We are really pleased to be selling with Jo - she has a wonderful range of unusual and eclectic products all carefully handpicked, with design at the heart.

Looking forward to working with you Jo!

> NO VAT INCREASE!

We're not implementing a general price increase as a result of the rise in VAT.  However, we will be reviewing all product prices in line with supplier price increases at the end of January.  Our aim is to keep prices at current levels wherever possible, but there may inevitably be some increases from this time.

> Colchester Hospital

Thanks very much to Wayne from Kier Eastern for sending in some photos of the completed wallcoverings for the new Chuft ward at Colchester Hospital.  In all, we supplied six sets of wallcoverings, with "Fluoro Dragonflies" used in no less than three areas.

Thanks also to Tangramm Architects for using us for another of their hospital projects.

> Happy New Year!

Wishing you all a truly wonderful, happy and prosperous 2011.
