Beautiful new cushion covers by Mark Hearld in store now

With British Summer Time creeping up on us, now is the perfect time to introduce a little brightness into the home too. Mark Hearld, being his usual brilliant self, has created these beautiful new cushion covers, which of course we love! The fabric, entitled Bird Garden, is a single colour design, screenprinted onto a heavyweight oyster linen union for two colourways - with a third colourway on a natural linen - we have blue, red and charcoal in store. The covers are £36 and £45 with the cushion pads included.

Patmos Windows!

Our windows have just had a Stefanidis make-over, and they're looking fantastic! We're very excited about the signing that we're holding for An Island Sanctuary on Thursday night, and have filled the windows with copies of the book, Patmos fabric and a stunning Patmos tray. Bringing a little island colour to some gray spring weather, John Stefanidis' new book provides the perfect opportunity for a pre-summer escape. Stop by for a look and a glass of wine from 6.00-7.30pm on the 25th, or come in for a sneak preview any time this week.

Lovely new books in store that are simply must-haves!

We really do have some brilliant books in the shop at the moment - a paticular favourite of ours is The Great Lady Decorators - Great being the operative word! This fabulous book mixes gorgeous interiors with sparkling social history and it is the first book that focuses wholeheartedly on these exceptional women who really make interior design what they are today.
This book has a wealth of names - Elsie de Wolfe, the initiator of the 'Great Lady Decorators', the fabulous Dorothy Draper, Nancy Lancaster, Ruby Ross Wood, Eleanor Brown, Sister Parish, Syrie Maugham and Madeleine Castaing, just to name a few...
It also serves as a witty and readable treatise on the principles of decorating, as well as a luxurious visual resource, this book really is a bible for the decorator!
We also have a simply superb copy of the September 1950 New York Issue of Flair magazine, which has a great cover design and is packed with beautiful photography and fashions of the era - brilliant!
