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.

Finally Fermoie

On a slow boat but finally I receive my Fermoie samples and I am not disappointed.  Of course the makers behind Farrow and Ball, Martin Ephson and Tom Helme, were unlikely to get it wrong and the colours are predictibly sublime.  The patterns are delicious and the cloth I am sure will make up very well and that is often a little more difficult to predict but it is what makes a fabric come into its own and have that everlasting quality.

Recently Fermoie have added accessories to the range including cushions and below charming lampshades which are so difficult to source here in the UAE
