Magazine review: Living etc

I had a tough day at work yesterday (we're moving floors so we had to pack, two of our staff members are away, yadda yadda yadda), so I was pleased to be able to treat myself to the latest issue of my favourite British homes magazine, Living etc, when I zipped out at lunch to grab a sandwich.

This is the annual issue focused on colour - they also do a white one every year. It's an enticing mix of real homes and design ideas, albeit with people with money to spend.

I particularly like Joa Studholme's home which is featured in this issue (it's the November one). She uses white in such a great way, and I covet her dining table: it's the contrast between the wooden base and the zinc top.
