Grand Designs magazine cover, Jan 09 issue

We’ve had a very nice mention in the January 2009 edition of Grand Designs magazine which came out this week.

Last Orders title page from Grand Designs magazine, January 2009.

The article’s called Last Orders and H is for Home is featured amongst their 50 favourite websites – with emphasis on websites for those late Christmas shopping ideas.

They highlighted a vintage 1960s tomato red Cathrineholm enamel coffee pot. So it’s thanks to Grand Designs – we were really pleased to be featured as we’re big fans of both the magazine and the television programme.

Our home in Your Home

We’ve just been featured in the December issue of Your Home magazine.

Initially, the magazine asked us for one or two product shots of items from the H is for Home website. This escalated to a full house feature.

A couple of months ago, a photographer and his assistant spent a whole day taking shots around our house.

We’re very happy with the results, they’ve used a lot of the photos and the article is spread over six whole pages!

If you’d like to be able to read the feature properly we’ve scanned larger versions of each of the pages:
