Beautiful and useful.... introducing the 1930s home


A copper pudding mould
William Morris once said: “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful”. Beautiful and useful, this copper pudding mould was bought from a charity shop for one pound. I used it for a traditional Piedmontese chocolate pudding - I will share the recipe soon, so watch this space!

The 1930s house


I'm also hoping to follow Morris's philosophy in my new project: transforming a 1930s house into a home. 

I have a tight budget, which means doing a lot of work myself, with the help of my partner. I'm going to show you the various stages of transformation, indoor and outdoors through a new blog, called The 1930s home.  If you want to follow my journey, see you  there!
