about   abode

 I believe that the power to create design magic within our own four walls is within all of us to grasp. This is because no one knows our rooms better than we do, dwelling inside them everyday.

When I walk into the homes that friends, family and acquaintances have created over time, I find these places transformative, but by contrast, when I look at rooms that interior designers - our paid experts – have created, a wave of disappointment often washes over me?

In my quest to understand this conundrum, I dug deeply into my own past: pouring over notes, diaries, conversations with my mentors, as well as photographs and tear sheets I'd accumulated. I've attempted to pick out the best of the best to empower you to create your dream space.
