AD100 Designer Pierre Yovanovitch Revives an Arts and Crafts Home in London

Image
The client knew exactly what she wanted: not too many floors. High ceilings. Lots of light. And a south-facing garden. Her husband had two requests: a small hammam and a swimming pool in the garden.It was a tall order for a family home in central London, but eventually they found it—an unassuming but generously proportioned Arts and Crafts property nestled on a quiet street in Chelsea, the once-bohemian enclave turned posh residential district. After glimpsing the overgrown gardens—now planted with climbing honeysuckles, hedges, maples, and magnolias by the Natural Gardening Company—and a yard just big enough to carve out a narrow, stone-lined lap pool, they were sold."When you look out the window, you almost feel like you're in the country," says the wife of the home she shares with her husband—they're both globe-trotting businesspeople—and two teenage daughters.

King Size Wood Flooring Platform Bed and Headboard With Built-in Lights and Outlets and Hidden Drawers for $400!

Wow, that's a really long title!A few years ago, I designed and built this headboard for my wife (fiance at the time) when we lived apart. It plugs into any 1 standard wall outlet, and includes 2 light switches for the overhead lights (3-way switches so either side would control them), and 4 regular outlets (2 on each side at the base) in order to accommodate anything we'd ever need to plug in on our side. I built it with the intent that no matter where we moved, no matter what room it went in, there would be outlets and lights for us - no more fighting over the 1 plug 10 feet away for our clocks and cell phone chargers! The original was made to fit a queen bed on one of those cheap metal frames with a box spring nestled in it. Fast forward - 2 big dogs, and 1 kid later (with another on the way), we've decided it's time to get a KING SIZE BED. I can't really reuse this headboard anymore, so I've decided to start from scratch and build another! This time around,

A graffitied tunnel underneath Waterloo station and a derelict swimming pool in Manchester: The 20 UK locations that are now alternative 'landmarks' thanks to Instagram

How to be hot stuff in bed: Beat the cold snap with the latest high-tech hot blankets (you can even wear them around the house)

They used to be the preserve of frugal maiden aunts and draughty guesthouses, but no more. This winter, there's a new breed of electric blanket on the High Street that is high-tech, wonderfully cosy and not in the least bit embarrassing to own.
