Whoooooa.

Well not exactly, Greenwich in fact, this amazing little diner is a hidden Gem at the waterside,with great views of the o2 Arena and neighbouring with the only Lighthouse in London this was well worth the little bit of effort to find.

industrial glamour

Generally conferences are the most exiting of prospects but having the freedom to really create something special for our friends facebook was great, with a selection of on brand white furniture contrasted with a very industrial pallet and wood construction this job really complimented the old warehouse setting it was hosted in.

The Big Bang

catch up for Christmas

The last month or so has been busy with the Xmas installs, now complete the appear to have gone down a storm. 

A personal favourite was the Apres Ski at the Natural history Museum, with Tartan, mulled wine and christmas trees a go go once the dressing was complete and the evening drew upon us the full ambience of this lovely theme could be appreciated.

The Bristol

My lighting obsession grows ever stronger, even whilst holidaying I was drawn to this great bar with a massive feature light partnered with some brilliant tropical parrot wallpaper. 

Plate smashing.

After some great food and even better wine, it was time to partake in a true Greek tradition of plate smashing. The atmosphere of this night was amazing and a thoroughly enjoyable. ......the reason for smashing plates......" I love my wife and want to treat her well, because of this I do not want her to have to stand in the kitchen washing up." A costly but great way to avoid the marigolds if you ask me. 

Holiday....see you when I get back,

Waiting for the tube isn't all bad when you have a view like this. 

Lights camera action take 2

With these beautiful lighting options I can see e lighting budget taking a beating. 

100% design

I had a brilliant day at earls court wandering around the endless stall of innovative design and products from a vast aray of companies.

After picking up the relevant business cards and publications I could wait to get back to the office the next day to start ordering samples and arrange sometime for reps to visit.

 

These indoor planting ideas are perfect especially as I've been hunting for the perfect bit of greenery for office space.

Hoxley and Porter opening night

What better way to celebrate winning the independent bar award for lost and found Birmingham than gathering for drinks at another great projects opening evening. Located in Islington Hoxley and Porter is a brilliant bar and eatery with a story to tell. Anyone in the area should spare some time to visit, pick up a drink preferably that contains the amazing earl grey gin and enjoy!
