Living the American dream with The English Home

by Janet

Fantastic to find that the dreamy home of Emma Hatfield Watkins, was selected to star on the front cover of the American edition of The English Home magazine.

I absolutely loved our shoot with Emma, who runs Hattie Hatfield, and her super family. Emma is a fantastic lady, and has an enchanting home, pictured above by Andreas von Einsiedel. It was such a delight to tell her renovation story.

Summer dreaming with Good Housekeeping

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

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

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.

I’m absolutely over the moon that three of my interiors articles are featured in the latest (August) edition of Country Homes & Interiors. A trio of stunning, sun-drenched homes in Anglesey, Norfolk and West Sussex. It’s been such a privilege to visit all three homes, meet the fantastic owners (we’ve had many laughs!) and share their stories. The August issue is out now. Photo, courtesy of Andreas von Einsiedel.
