		<title>pocket sized urban front garden</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We love redesigning front gardens.  They really do mean a lot and say so much about your house. We will soon create a gallery devoted to front gardens we have worked on. Every time the people who lived here left their house, they were met with this vista, (below). Grey gravel, an imposing compost bin and an unsuitable tree all aligned [...]]]></description>

		<title>Public planting does not need to be boring!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Planting public spaces or at least spaces that are not private gardens can be tricky.  Plants need to be robust, so a lot of the time areas around pathways and car parking spaces end up being planted with shrubs which get cut back each year and morph into a woody single height hedge.  We like to [...]]]></description>

		<title>the oscar for best hallway goes to….</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago we were called out to see what creative magic we could bring to a frankly dreary hall. Immediately we were buzzing. We wanted to restore and to give it glamour. We would take this 1940&#8242;s hallway back in time and give it some oldschool Hollywood glamour. We found an old fashioned telephone &#8211; still [...]]]></description>

		<title>for public viewing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A front garden is not only yours!  More often than not,  it is seen from the other side of your boundary and by a lot more people too. We always design front gardens from this perspective.  It should enhance and compliment your house and allow easy access to the hall door. If there is a consensus of [...]]]></description>

		<title>beauty of nature in winter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We often think of winter as a harsh time in the garden and in nature but there is a distinct beauty in the winter landsape. A line of bare trees on a hilltop creates a stunning image.  Without their leaves we can see the structure of mature trees more clearly. Deer grazing in the Phoenix [...]]]></description>

		<title>winter colour in the garden</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many gardens are at the best in summer and autumn.  However it still is possible to have a garden or areas of your garden that are more than a collection of bare branches and twigs in winter. By mixing some evergreen, winter flowering plants and shrubs you can ensure that you have colour and interest [...]]]></description>

		<title>interiors scheme for hall, stairs and landing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The hallway we featured last week is incredibly narrow and lacking a little luxury. Our scheme sets out to change both those perceptions using a few tricks of the trade! A lovely nobbily textured runner for the stairs will widen the staircase and make it feel more grand. We will add stair rods to finish out the luxe [...]]]></description>

		<title>narrow hallway and staircase before new look transformation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All that can be said for this hallway is that it is, &#8220;Functional&#8221;. Why does, &#8220;Functional&#8221;, usually mean bland? It is quite narrow with five doors, a corridor and a staircase leading off it, so it&#8217;s a busy thoroughfare too. The radiator cover, wooden floor and this lovely hall table are all to remain. The rest [...]]]></description>

		<title>dining table makeover</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love this dining table. It&#8217;s the perfect size and can seat eight comfortably. Here is a link to a photoshoot for House and Home Magazine in 2003 in which it featured. http://mertondesign.ie/interiors/portfolio/?album=2&#38;gallery=24&#38;pid=190 I&#8217;m now just bored with the dark wood.   Time for a make over &#8211; a weekend project beckons!
