+Best lessons learned?

Dawn: Not to be trend driven

(that lesson took a long time and

a lot of money!).

+What would you never do

again? Use coloured tiles; they

just weren’t for me. I tried them in

+What areas of your home

do you save or splurge on?

I advise splurging on lighting if

you can.

+Do you tend to buy high-end

homeware or seek out a

bargain? Nowadays I’m far more

into buying the best I can so that

I can love items for a long time.

+Best advice when it comes to

spending money on a home?

Think carefully about what you

need and why. Do all the research.
