After 5 months of renovating, our kitchen is finally finished! We are so excited that we get to enjoy our dream kitchen, create many recipes and share them with friends, family and all of you online.When we moved in we fell in love with this kitchen, and knew this was the place to start. It is the heart of the home and so integral for my work.
You may not realise it but choosing antiques to furnish your home is actually a really sustainable choice. Every year the UK throws away around 300,000 tonnes of furniture and of the furniture that is sent to landfill 3 million pieces could actually be reused without needing any repairs.
Creating, shipping and buying new furniture uses a a lot of energy; research commissioned by the International Antiques and Collectors Fairs showed that a new chest of drawers made in China has a carbon footprint 16 times higher than an antique equivalent per year.
