Who would’ve thought when I decided to go to the races in Chester for the Boodles ladies' day when I haven’t been for two years that I would end up in the Telegraph the Chester Standard and online with my flamboyant style. Owner Of The Interior and Feathers Of Italy Kerrie Griffin featured in The Daily Telegraph.

This is my 32-foot living room with a dining area. I moved into floral Benton's carpet with red velvet curtains and white walls and ceiling with very dark-stained beams.

Having been interviewed last month to appear in Living Magazine Homes and Gardens Magazine May 2022 issue I can now present the article written by Mike Crutchly it goes in to the dos and dents of designing your home with lots of great tips I have shared.

Adding interest in a garden

 

Who doesn't love a bit of interest in the garden something to watch a little weekend project? I debated for some time weather to put these in a row or random because I like things lined up in threes.

 

Get the Look

 

I bought these simple bird houses from home bargains they were only £3.99 in blue or green I would stick to three of the same colour, obviously if your building is very long use 4 o5 to create impact for a fraction of the cost of other bird house. 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.

Multi Award Winning Interior Designer Kerrie Griffin shows us how you can turn an old shed or stables in this case into accomodation.

Initially, this was a stable block that cost £2500 I brought the roof overlay out and built it down to create a rectangle giving more space inside. I removed the partitions and the stables doors and fitted with some factory seconds klober doors heavily reduced a few years ago, but then stopped the project due to personal circumstances.

Plasterboard £7 plus vat per sheet needed 7
Plasterboard fitter £170 inc 2 sheets of plasterboard

Shed ordered Robert dyers for £400
Erect £80

Flooring decided to paint took 30 litres about £55
Paint walls ceiling lining paper first foam, filler tape and paint £70
Paint sprayer £53.99 was £59.99
Cushions and accessories £350

My time is about 9 days working long hours.

What do you do on a rainy Sunday if you are an Interior Designer?
You create!
I have always been creative from a very young age, making things and creating new looks ideas and even chopping up and adding to clothing to make unique pieces.
Today I'm doing a spot of indoor gardening because I am desperate to get outside to do some planning. I have already mowed the lawn last week on a dry day!. The mower was not happy to come out in February but I like a well-manicured garden.
Take a look at how I have used these gorgeous chicken wire lanterns to create an indoor oasis of spring bulbs.
