But you knew that. Spotted these on top of a unit in the designer's office when we went for a meeting about one of the Regent's Park jobs. They were beautiful things, and I'd love to have them on the shelf in the kitchen, but look at the price of them! That was the most expensive, but the cheapest was an eye-watering £60

Everyone wants to start this new job as soon as Planning permission is given and since there's nothing controversial about what's planned for the exterior of the building no-one sees too much of a problem in achieving that by the end of the month.

But the realisation of the design is a cool £100K above the budget at the moment. So we all sat round trying to firm up costs and find ways of getting the look without spending the money

My day started early, sorting out costs for the meeting later and organising materials so we can try to get the latest changes at our job that's on site at the moment built and installed before the shop opens

Frustratingly it looks like there won't be a single day in the studio this week unless I can steal some time at the weekend
