British invasion .............

Sophie Conran,
British design and times, featuring her own home with it's soft yet sophisticated style. The light and airy feel of her table settings lend a youthful and relaxing feel to your table year round. I think the cream color is very lending to a perfectly placed Thanksgiving Day table.

Known throughout England not only for her design but her love of table scaping as well as her own line of table ware.





Quite a befitting mantle scape of cream ware, tonal textural wall coverings mixed with traditional mantle piece and personal mementos of the homeowners life.A bit of a more relaxed country life feel in this home. A cluster of the ceramic, silver and painted warm accents!









I love this guest bedroom with a rustic manor home bones and the use of luxe fabrics.The natural bedding, chippy furniture, brick walls & gilded golds on top of creams makes this an inviting and relaxing retreat for guests in the Temple cookery school.











Chantilly wallpaper shown in Mimosa, used in Conran's own home in England. Love the gilded sconces, settee & the end table.




The clean lined furnishings play off the traditional elements of this room. I like the juxtaposition of classical elements & modern furnishings in this room. I love the gilt gold framed VanDyck painting above the marble carved mantle surrounded by the modern chairs, side tables and clean wood panels.





A close look at a traditional fireplace mantle that has been softened with round modern candles. A sweet clear jar filled with blooms in deep pink & red colors.





Conran's cooking school interior, a twist on holiday with white & red roses. The beams & the school house lights look industrial chic. Love the modern chairs around the table.

this is all the same house!? I LOVE it! Such a great mix of styles without being an "eclectic mix." just great rooms, though my fave is the second.
