Chinoiserie, checks and cocktails

Posted on Tue, 23 Aug 2022 by midcenturyjo

“This spacious family home in Parsons Green delights with beautiful details at every turn, from bold chinoiserie wallpaper in the drawing room to a deep green panelled bathroom featuring luxe Arabescato book-matched marble slabs. Bespoke joinery was designed for the dressing room as well as a bar unit in the reception room, painted in high gloss for impact.”

Quintessentially English. Quintessentially fabulous. Parsons Green by Rosanna Bossom.

An eclectic Victorian townhouse in Somerset

Posted on Thu, 18 Aug 2022 by KiM

This Victorian townhouse had the most divine proportions and interior architecture. My client loved maximalist, eclectic interiors with a nod to tradition. I decided to infuse the home with colour and pattern and really develop a concise scheme for each room. From the black drawing to the chartreuse sitting room, the home is packed full of personality and glamour. I had so much fun collecting furnishings from varying eras and styles to create a truly collected home that is reflective of the person who owns it.
Another absolute gem by Sean Symington. This one is much less traditional and has more of an edge. Also, the animal lover in me is loving the leopard print fabrics found in almost every room. I need some leopard in my life. Zebra too maybe?

A whimsical apartment in London

Posted on Tue, 16 Aug 2022 by KiM

My client had just purchased an apartment in Camden, London that was in desperate need of some love. She asked me to create a home for her that was playful, colourful and whimsical, bringing together her love for Britain and her homeland South Africa. It was important to create a home that was reflective of her personality. It was because of this that I individually chose antique and vintage pieces for each space and paired these with bespoke items to seamlessly tell a story within her new home. I had so much fun playing with colour and pattern which is threaded throughout the apartment. A theme of soft pinks and earthy greens are incorporated into each room to achieve cohesion yet retain individuality and interest within each space.
Brilliant use of colour and pattern by Sean Symington. I am smitten with how inviting this home is – it’s like being wrapped in a handmade vintage quilt.

The renovation of a historic home’s kitchen

Posted on Tue, 16 Aug 2022 by KiM

Tucked in a quiet historic district the home had lovely features that had been preserved throughout. The kitchen had been stripped down and had no real charm. The lines of it were broken up by many doors to enter and exit the space and too many windows running across the back wall. The original pantry had been preserved but ran so deep into the space that it became awkward to use. By carefully laying out the new space we were able to add a laundry, mudroom and powder bath behind the new kitchen and to create a new entry into the home in the back. This allowed for us to regain the much needed wall space in the kitchen and create an large beautiful cohesive space to cook and entertain. It was very important to keep the historic feel of the home. Using some of the cabinetry in the dining room and the original pantry for inspiration our team created a timeless kitchen with oak arched cabinets, brass detailing and marble counters that will remain timeless for years to come.
Timeless indeed! This kitchen is to die for. The oak really stands out against the white and those arched cabinets are such a statement detail. And that pantry!!!! Designed by Massachusetts based Jess Cooney. Photos: Lisa Vollmer
