Welcome Home
from the Editors
This is the first of our three summer issues
and we’re celebrating the season in true
British fashion here at Heart Home by
spending every fleeting moment outside
no matter what the weather throws at us.
Nothing says English countryside quite
like a 300 year old cottage complete
with inglenook fireplace, so our home
renovation on page 17 will be sure to set
a few hearts a flutter. And nothing says
countryside quite like a few vases of flowers
picked from the hedgerows so we have an
extract from Willow Crossley’s new book
‘The Art of Living with Nature’ to inspire
you too.
And we have gone slightly shopping mad
this summer. If you fancy a taste of the
Cote d’Azur on your patio check out the
shopping feature on page 30. And we are
kicking off the first of a new shopping
series that cover the rooms in the house we
might have previously overlooked – and
this month it’s the kitchen. Or industrial
edged kitchens to be more precise.
But it’s not all about shopping and country
walks –oh no. If you are the type who can’t
relax for long we have our ‘Colour Pop’
feature with lots of easy DIY projects for
injecting colour into the home, a feature on
Crete for those who like to travel further
afield and a delicious ice cream recipe for
anyone handy in the kitchen.
Enjoy.
