Philosophy of the Tent:

The best decorating and design takes inspiration from what was once done before. Whether it is in architecture, antiques, art, it all stems from a mix of inspiration and knowledge. I believe it is a duty to pass on and share the knowledge, and by no means do I think I have great knowledge, in fact the more I know the less I know.
This blog is a way not to forget what I have learned and what was kindly passed onto to me by a great many fascinating people. I thank you all.

Nice Knockers You've Got There

Excited to see the Farmer Brothers in H&G this month, they are 1) really nice guys 2) really hard workers and 3) rescued Beardmores which in itself deserves them a medal.

I first came across them whilst working on Park Walk, just around the corner from their shop, during my time at Veere Grenney Associates.  They always had everything, if in doubt go to Farmer Bros, and we did.

Some years later I found out they bought Beardmores, at the time in liquidation, and it seems their venture has gone from strength to strength.  Well done them we need more of adventurers to rescue and keep beautiful, well made things alive and well, and if at all possible more of it out here!  Oh how I miss good craftsmanship and beautiful objects.

I have specified these knobs from the Anthologie collection for a project out here
