We recently mentioned that we had commissioned a large format piece of art from artist and graphic designer Lene Bladbjerg, after spotting her talents at Spitalfields markets. Elldrew are happy to reveal ‘Acid Rain’, which is proudly being displayed in our lounge room.

Star Trek: Into The Darkness
Two words – LOVED IT. Being a Trekkie fan there is nothing better than seeing any instalment from the Star Trek franchise on the big screen. Visually spectacular, packed with heaps of action, this movie remains true to the brands core (pardon the pun).
Kitchen Renovation Kapers
Elldrew hate to say it, but truth be told, after 3 months of decision making, 4 months construction, and another 3 months to do “finishing touches”, we’re a little bit over talking about renovations. For the best part of a year our lives have been dominated by the search for and creation of our ideal …
For Arts Sake
On a recent trip to Spitalfields (London’s oldest markets), we came across their monthly Arts Fair. A bit disheartened by the size of it (about 10 ‘booths’) we decided to have a look around anyway as we had been looking for several months for something to take pride of place on our lounge room wall…the …

Grand Designs: Week Eight/Nine
Just a quick update as the Christmas silliness seems to also be consuming Elldrew (which is a welcome distraction from the delayed renovations)!
Grand Designs: Week Seven
NEARLY THERE Week 7 and there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. With the week of Week 8 booked off from work for snagging and furniture deliveries, and although the builders seem to be approximately 1 week behind, we are positive that by the end of Week 8 we may have a …
Shakespeare’s Swan Song
As quickly as it started it seemed to be over. Yes Planet Elldrew is talking about summer in London. But there is something still magical as the leaves start to turn brown and litter the pavements, the suns glare is exceptionally brighter with the contrast of looming grey clouds in the distance, crisp gushes of …
Did Someone Say Tea?
We can’t tell you the number of suggestions bounced around when we decided to catch up with friends for High Tea in central London…the woes of a group committee we guess. “The Ritz?”. “Too stuffy and expensive”. “Fortnum & Mason?”. “Full of tourists” (valid point considering the Paralympics are in town). Then we remembered The …
