House and Garden the List

House & Garden The List

I was thrilled to be featured in the June edition of House & Garden. This is the interiors bible of style and sophistication and has long been my ‘go to’ to keep up to speed with the latest in the design world. To be highlighted within their interior design directory was the ultimate compliment. It has been a privilege working on some beautiful projects over the past decade, made possible by my wonderful clients. A big thank you to everyone, clients, followers, and my team.

Fundraising for the NHS

I spent some of my time during Lockdown designing a bespoke collection of cushions using fabrics from some of my favourite designers; Nina Campbell, Lewis & Wood and Guy Goodfellow. I donated the fabrics myself and had the cushions made by my curtain maker. These I then sold to raise funds for the NHS during a five-day Instagram campaign.

Thank you to all of you who supported this fundraising initiative. I was thrilled to raise over £1,000 for the Hampshire Medical Fund. This is a charity I support both personally and professionally so it meant a lot to be able to donate to them, whilst supporting my suppliers, during these challenging times.

Recent Projects

I have two photo shoots scheduled late May/June, (fingers crossed!) with my style team and favourite photographer, David Parmiter, to capture our most recent projects and very much look forward to sharing the images with you too.

One project has a selection of really characterful wallpapers from contrasting suppliers, a Scandinavian designer called Sandberg and the long-established, classic Cole and Sons. The other project is a classic English home with fabulous fabrics from some of our most loved suppliers such as Soane Britain and Lewis and Wood. It is lovely to be able to work on such a diverse range of projects.

Home is Our Haven

Nevermore so than today, Lockdown has provided us all with time for reflection and an opportunity to invest in home, both emotionally and materially.

This has brought with it a wave of enquiries and interest in refurbishments and renovations as clients seek to rethink and upgrade this most valuable of spaces. A sure and positive sign that we are getting back to business.

Back to Business

I am so looking forward to getting back on site with my latest projects. We, like businesses across the world, have had to ‘down tools’ over the past weeks and work quietly from home. There is great anticipation and excitement about seeing the final schemes installed, from mood board to reality, and to be working with my talented team again. It’s like a jigsaw putting the last pieces in, hanging wallpaper by Lewis and Wood in the master bedroom, to adding the finishing touches of lampshades from Fermoie and hanging the curtains made from luxurious Soane fabrics. Wishing you all a very happy return to life post lockdown, albeit the ‘new normal’.

Stay safe and well.

All best wishes,
