Kerrie Talks Her Country Crush...
I love the layers to this room, its country vibe with lots of texture and the way they have tied in the balustrade steps on the stairs with the colour of the door. They have then gone for a softer grey with the addition of the hall flooring and grey cabinet finished with white skirting board and lots of white to lighten up the look.The wooden floor is emulated with the use of a wooden table, chairs and the hanging chopping board in the distance to pull the look though to the hall. The wooden legs on the cream chair and wicker on the edge of the basket near the door pulls it all together. -

Be prepared though they don’t last forever I bought one around 2 years ago and the roof started coming off I just nailed it on, so feel free to choose something more substantial like the following.

Kerrie Interviewed by Cheshire Life! - Six Page Feature On Her Interior Design Work
Freya Millard of Cheshire Life contacted me after winning Interior Designer Of The Year Cheshire with the Prestige Awards. She focuses a spotlight on me and my work as a Designer, Artist and property developer. The sun was beaming in my office window as I recited a story about how my father would always knock down an internal wall at tea time. He would say have I got enough time to knock this wall down before dinner is on the table, My mum would say no, and then we would be engulfed into a cloud of brick dust, and all would come down around me!.
