My life has been upside down since the beginning of the year with a host of new projects - some have fallen by the wayside, others have been put to one side marked “another time - another place”, others are on-going but one of them has come to fruition.

I have finally finished my second book - Creative Children’s Spaces. It is a follow up to my first book Creative Family Home. And very exciting news that my debut book is now available in 5 languages Dutch, German, Italian, Finish. Next up is a Korean translation.

It’s been all go. Researching, interviewing, travelling, styling, art directing and writing. I visited 17 family homes in Europe with Ben Robertson who captured the spirit of each family in his photographs. Every home had a different aesthetic - from a rustic home on the edge of a forest to an urban architect minimalist home. The thread that binds the families together is their creative energy and spirit that they all possess. I always wonder what will become of my creative family children. And therein lies yet another project.

Creative Children’s Spaces will be published in September by Ryland Peters and Small and is available for pre-order from Amazon.
