Well less than 24 hours to this ‘first ever’. Cambridge Style Week is upon us, and Design Essentials are taking part.
I must admit when I first heard about it from Nicky Shephard one of the organisers I was sold. Her passion for the project and the idea behind it left me in no doubt that this was something I would enjoy being included in, indeed some of the advertising behind the event captures this vision.

The Speed Networking Design Essentials hosted at Goddards Interiors on the 16th January was fast, furious, friendly and fun for all those that attended (apart from the whistle) which was largely ignored amongst the vibrant crowd who attended.
All who came to the event enjoyed wine and nibbles, and where lucky enough to indulge in offerings from Sarah Taylor owner of Chateau Macaron with flavours of Salted caramel, Rosemary, Lychee and Raspberry Macarons. Also Maria Brannigan, owner and writer of Gluten Free and Gorgeous with her (and you would never know) Gluten Free Brownies, were all polished off in an instant.
A lovely and welcome surprise. Amazing treats thank you ladies. Continue reading

I must admit that before design essentials I had not given much thought to colour. Well, not beyond loving blue and finding pink a bit girly for my tastes (thank god I’ve got a boy, the craze of pink for little girls would have driven me spare.) Though to be honest I have known about the importance of lighting for ages. Continue reading

We are really pleased to be hosting with Helen from Kiddycharts, the next Design Essentials speed networking event at Goddards Interiors in Saffron Walden at 7.45pm on Thursday 26th April.
The evening should be full of fun, wine, and frivolity so come along for a spot of business networking with the local Essex and Cambridge crowd.
The format of the evening is simple:
Find someone you have never met before we start
We’ll have six rounds of these one minute exchanges, and then have a little break, so all can re-fill glasses, and refresh confidence.
