The Mason Jar has had its day in the sun. Now it’s time for a more modest jar. A jar we all know, but seldom pay homage to. A jar that may appear too small in stature to warrant much attention at all. A jar with very few reuse prospects. Usually fated to be a mere button or paperclip holder, this jar has far too long been underestimated and overlooked, yet its prominent presence in many a home across the nation – nay, across the world – is evident. It has brought inside it much-needed supply of emergency food in…

  Tanya Chesterton Smith runs a boutique photography studio from her home office, specialising in wedding, portrait and corporate photography. As Chesterton Smith Photography is about to celebrate its 14th birthday, who better to offer work-at-homers some sage advice than our girl, Tanya.    My office has gone through a few style changes over the years and has grown with me and my second love of interior design (love all things vintage and handmade.) First home: My office was a spare bedroom and I am embarrassed to say client seating consisted of old deck chairs with ’poor student’ style decor….
