1 Soaring ceilings call for furnishings on a

similar scale like this painted George II William

Kent frame from Jonathan Sainsbury (£7200).

Its carved scallop-shell decoration and broken

pediment are a grand match for the doorcase in

Julian Barrow’s atelier (page 128). Ring 01258

857573 or visit jonathan-sainsbury.com.

2 How handy for the roll-call of artists in this

Tite Street studio to be able to nip straight from

easel to loo – and one decorated with a charm-

ing rosette print at that (page 130). Get the look

with Colefax & Fowler’s small-scale patterned

papers: ‘Ashling’ (left) and ‘Larissa’ cost £58 per

roll. Ring 020 8874 6484 or visit colefax.com.

3 We’re keen to help where we can but we’ll

leave the choice of final resting place to you.

In the meantime we recommend the Raj Tent

Club’s ‘Bhurj’ tent (£3150) which has the ‘cam-

paign’ feel of 19th-century explorer Sir Richard

Burton’s tomb (page 144) but is thankfully

firmly pitched in the land of the living. Ring 020

7820 0010 or visit rajtentclub.com.

4 Fancy being transported to a courtyard

dappled with sunshine (page 182)? Mandarin

Stone’s Atlantic grey ‘Pebble’ tiles (£49.28 per

sq m) can even be laid on very small areas tak-

ing you one step closer to Mexico. Ring 01600

715444 or visit mandarinstone.com.

5 Dorothy’s Tin Man longed for a heart and

we’ve found one. From Milagros’ wide selection

of folk decorations comes this winged version

flying in at £12 which would fit right in on the

kitchen walls of the Mexican casa (page 187).

We’re also longing for a painted votive by the

three Vilchis brothers (£120). Ring 020

7613 0876 or visit milagros.co.uk.

6 Deborah Turbeville is best known

for her moody photographs and her

Mexican home was just as atmospher-

ic. Her choice of heavy weaves on sofas

walls and cushions (page 184) puts us

in mind of copper/bronze ‘Carpet Bag’

(left; £250 per m) and plum ‘Bohem-

ian Velvet’ (£129 per m) by Mulberry

Home. Ring 01202 266800 or visit
