Summer dreaming with Good Housekeeping

by Janet May 17, 2019
written by Janet

So pleased to see my summery feature about this stunning, sun-drenched home, owned by Rory and Flori Atkins, in this month’s Good Housekeeping magazine.

This lovely couple, who are true fans of Vanessa Arbuthnott’s designs, are thrilled with their contemporary new house, which is rather different from their previous abode!

To find out why, pick up the June issue of Good Housekeeping, and enjoy a leisurely read over the weekend.

Jacqui and Peter Kirk’s restored rectory stars in Homes & Gardens

by Janet January 18, 2019
written by Janet

As Homes & Gardens celebrate its centenary year, it’s such an honour to have had one of my interiors articles featured in the January 2019 issue.

 Jacqui and Peter Kirk made me feel incredibly welcome when I flew over to Northern Ireland to meet this delightful couple at their spectacular coastal home in Bangor, County Down. 

 The pair have worked tirelessly to sensitively transform a derelict Victorian rectory into a spectacular home.

Thanks to everyone for the incredible feedback about my seven-page feature.

Shoreline style

by Janet November 8, 2018
written by Janet

Hope your week’s going well. I’m visiting a coastal home in a stunning location today. I’ve been admiring the house for ages and cannot wait to see inside!
Earlier this year, photographer colleague Andreas von Einsiedel and I ventured to Norfolk for a magazine photoshoot at gorgeous Oyster Cottage in Wells-next-the-Sea. Just love this cosy living room with its driftwood-style console table.

It was incredibly difficult to choose one particular photograph to post from my feature of  Josephine Burlingham’s beautiful cottage, in this month’s Country Homes & Interiors magazine since, the truth of the matter is, the shots are all absolutely gorgeous!

If you haven’t picked up a copy of the magazine yet, this is a little glimpse of what’s waiting inside.

The talented interior designer, who runs Country & Coastal Interiors, has created a wonderful, cosy home. Isn’t her master bedroom, with its Peony & Sage canopy,  just dreamy? Photo, courtesy of Andreas von Einsiedel.

Walls, painted in Savage Ground by Farrow & Ball. Silk bedspread, John Lewis. Bedding, The White Company. Large cushions on bed, Chelsea Textiles. Small cushions, Debenhams. Curtains, Romo Linara fabric with a mother-of-pearl trim.
