One of my favourite things about my apartment is the picture rail. I know it might sound like a relatively small detail to love quite so much, but over the last few years that I’ve lived here, it’s been one of the most useful original features of my weirdly shaped 1930’s place. Since enjoying it…

I wanted to post something a little different today and share some of the design elements of HPH across both the website and the Instagram platform.
