claw-foot bath, a marble cabinet top that

was cut to order, and optical floor tiles she

designed herself when she couldn’t find ones

she liked.

Downstairs, a rectangular panelled

coffee-table picked up on holiday in

Marrakesh takes pride of place in the sitting-

room, alongside carved wooden antiques

from Paris fleamarkets and several giant

potted plants. ‘Ebay is also great for antiques

if you know what you’re searching for,’

from Aram and an IC Floor 1 light by

Michael Anastassiades. But

another birthday gift from

Quentin to her husband.

Written in her own hand, it

reads ‘Disney Prince’ – ‘That’s

what my friends and I nick-

named George when we first

met,’ she says. And looking

around her vibrant home

today, it’s clear that Quentin’s

fairy-tale ending really has

come true...
