Boho apartment in an old warehouse.

Like a small house with its bedroom under the roof, this apartment is located in a former Victorian warehouse built in 1850, near King Cross in London, where ice was stored, long before the invention of the refrigerator.
The entire site, named Gattis Wharf, is bordered by the banks of the Regent’s Canal.
The boho and casual interior design perfectly matches the original elements that have been preserved, such as the exposed brickworks and oak eaves.

Dorset Old Parsonage Ben Pentreath.

Bible of British Taste
Littlebredy is an enchanting estate village at the head of the Bride Valley, bought in 1797 by the Williams family who, in the first decades of the 19th century, set about creating a model village to the west of Bridehead House.

Met at the Old Parsonage by architectural and interior designer Ben Pentreath and his florist husband, Charlie McCormick, a private tour of the carefully restored house and garden, in its extraordinary setting on the edge of the narrow valley, is followed by a visit to the church, lake and village.
"In Dorset, we rent an old parsonage in an idyllic position in a south-facing valley.
When I was young, the house was rented by my best friend’s parents, so it was a weird experience rediscovering rooms I knew well as a child, two decades on." /Ben Pentreath/

Camber Sands is a seaside village in the south of England, where you find beautiful houses like this one, which the owners decided to paint completely in white after their purchase.

Lemon Cleaning Tips.

If you do decide to use a lemon to help with your household chores, here are a few more tips to remember:

- To get the most juice from a lemon, roll it on the counter under the palm of your hand.
Then microwave it for 10 seconds.
This releases the most juice.

- When using a lemon half as your scrubbing tool, remove the seeds first.
Use a small, sharp paring knife to pry out the seeds so they don't scratch your surfaces.

- The lemon rind makes a great scrubber.
If you use the lemon to scrub a sink or shower stall, use both sides.
When scrubbing with the skin side, the oils are released to give an even stronger lemon smell to the area.

- When you’re done cleaning, don’t just throw out the used lemons.
Grind them up in your garbage disposal to freshen and deodoride it!

- Buy lemons in bulk.
Most grocery stores have bags of lemons at a much lower price than buying them individually.
