We have spent the last two weeks moving out of our office/atelier space and incorporating our work spaces into our home which means the spare room which had been designated for Charlottes nursery has now been consumed by my atelier …..literally consumed… I had no idea how much I had collected, scavenged and hoarded away [...]
