Meet Lisa Barber and Josephine Burlingham – two dynamic businesswomen, bonded by their passion for creating beautiful homes.
Having found her dream cottage, Lisa felt experienced interior designer, Josephine, who owns Country & Coastal Interiors, would be the ideal person to help with the stylish and incredibly personal transformation she envisaged – and she was right.
The result is a stunning home, featured in this month’s (February 2016) Country Homes & Interiors, that’s full of cherished heirlooms given to Lisa by the late father she adored.
Lisa told me: ‘It was a remarkable journey. Working with Josephine had a profound effect on my life and, through the project, we’ve become very close friends.’
The cottage’s stunning transformation has also been the springboard behind the launch of marketing expert Lisa’s thriving business, Roots and Wings. The gorgeous kitchen, pictured below, is where she holds her successful Kitchen Table Workshops.
It was such a pleasure for photographer colleague, Andreas von Einsiedel, and me to work with both of these lovely and extremely talented ladies during a fabulous shoot.
The Barber’s Hampshire home is absolutely charming and speaks volumes about the huge amount of love, thought and effort that both Lisa and Josephine have poured into every single room.
