This long,
narrow haven
features
clever storage,
including
shelves
showcasing
family portraits
by Sealey
Brandt – she’s
wonderful, says
Jen – and more
signature shells
and silver.

Screens
from China
Collection make
a statement in
the TV room.
How lucky, says
Jen, that they
fitted perfectly!
Most of my better Chinese pieces, such as the
bamboo cupboard behind the sofa, came from
Ann Lockett’s China Collection, as did many of the
screens. And while the Chinese daybed came from
FairPrice Antique, the gold-painted rattan chairs
flanking it were made for me by The Orchard in Bali.
The glass-topped coffee table base once served
as an Indian elephant
howdah
(carriage). Also from
India is the bone-inlaid table that separates the two
zebra-print upholstered chairs; it’s frommy friend at
Ruby Slipper, who imports a range of this furniture
together with beautiful dhurrie rugs like the blue-
and-white one in our bedroom.
I’m a bit obsessed with the teal, pink and lime
green fabrics from Designer Guild; for the plain
pillows in the living room, I bought the fabric from
Arab Street.
