Very proud of my wife. Off she goes to run her first weekend #forestschool session. ⁦@forestandfamily⁩. She set this up on her own in just a few months & it’s already changing the way kids interact with nature. Well done Millsey. #newbusiness #nature #kids #wellbeing

Just finished the forward for an upcoming @RIBA publication. I talk about well #designed homes telling our stories. This pic tells the story of #granada, conquest, reconquest, reconciliation. There is #architecture from 800ad till present day in this shot. The story of Granada.

@GDLive_UK highlight was filming content for #Boundless @GrandDesigns @IllustriousHome @Josh_kbeye @Media_10 but my time with @Kevin_McCloud was really great. Full chat to follow but this outtake made me laugh so as a teaser I thought I would share. https://t.co/K2q661xNem

@ideal_home_show 10 sessions on the Super Stage, 50 appointments, 100+ people seen #renovation hub. #Designing #extensions #lofts full house #refurbishments whilst offering #advice on #budgets & how to find a #builder was challenging but rewarding. Can't wait for Scotland

[Kunle Barker @Kunlebarker]

On way to renovation hub and who do I spot captivating a packed crowd on the @ideal_home_show super theatre? None other than my old mucker @queenofspades00 @LoveYourGarden2 #loveyourhomeandgarden @ITV

[Kunle Barker @Kunlebarker]

@ITV @LoveYourGarden2 @loveyourhomeitv lock out on the super theatre @ideal_home_show @IllustriousHome @daviddomoney

[Kunle Barker @Kunlebarker]

Great to see @BrynLucas and @jollyolly entertaining a pack crowd @ideal_home_show Super Theatre. Looks like they are giving away wine, I should get down there #wine #idealhomeshow

[Kunle Barker @Kunlebarker]

Making the most of your budget! @ideal_home_show. Clients when #renovating kitchen should buy the cheapest carcass & spend lots on feature worktops - like this piece of ethically sourced timber from @GoldfinchLDN #design #architecture #property #renovation #interiordesign

[Kunle Barker @Kunlebarker]

Great to have 2 pieces of my copy in this months Grand Designs Magazine. It was a tight deadline so retreated to the #creative lab space at @Uncommon_space 2 hours later I had some copy which @granddesignsmag liked! #property #design #coworking #architecture #self-build #worklife
