LIVING AREA “The sofas are fantastic because I can whip
the covers off to give them a wash,” says Tess of the Pottery Barn sofas (above right & opposite) she bought years ago for the living area (also seen above left). “I can Napisan anything serious. Dark fabrics tend to fade or show watermarks and I keep these draped with throws and things.” Awash with hints of blue that echo the Pottery Barn ‘Oden’ rug, the coffee table, also from Pottery Barn, stores the kids’ board games. Tess has styled it with three round bone bowls from St Barts. The classic-look sofa is adorned by ‘Ink’ plain linen cushions by Tahn Interiors and a checked ‘Lama’ throw from L&M Home. DINING AREA Finding a statement chandelier for the great
room (right) was a mission. “It had to be the right proportion; it couldn’t be too big or too small,” says Tess. “But when you Google ‘chandeliers’, all these lights would come up that were just not me. They were either really industrial or really blingy.” She finally unearthed this “perfect” ‘The Elongated’ chandelier from Klaylife. “It has a lovely matt finish, and it has that story of being handmade behind it,” says Tess. The ‘Mabry’ dining chairs and ‘Banks’ dining table are all from Pottery Barn. >
