What a phenomenal press weekend we have just had, the front cover (yes can’t quite believe it myself) but THE FRONT COVER of Australia’s totally cool Real Living magazine, with a fabulous number of spreads inside (12 pages no less). Love it, the layout, the images thank you Real Living.
As a result and due to an overwhelming incredible response, that in honesty I cannot quite believe, I am opening up one further master class in Sydney. TA DA Monday 15th October has just gone live online and you can book here, places are limited though so best to book early!
In addition, on The Mail on Sunday yesterday a double page spread of me lounging in the garden, hanging out as you do looking all summery and laid back.
AND there is more, stay with me if you can, People Magazine in the US of A wrote a lovely article about my master classes happening in NYC at the achingly cool Ace hotel in August, and below front cover of the Metro magazine on Friday!
If I can get my jaw off the floor and allow my head to stop swelling for a nano second , (I had mentioned last night over homemade pizza and beer that maybe we could now get a live in chief, a nanny for the kids,aka dogs, a masseur, a personal dresser and hair stylist, please a hair stylist, told you its gone to my head)!!, then I have something to say.
lf you have a dream, follow it no matter how impossible, tough and unlikely it may seem if you work hard, believe in yourself, have passion and a fire in your gut then you will get there. You’ve got to fail a bit (a lot) its all part of the process of finding your niche in the market place your groove if you like. It doesn’t happen over night and it involves zillions of hours, but at the end of the day you can plonk down with a glass of wine on the sofa, a little (nah a lot) exhausted and think, I created that, by hook, by crook, by perseverance and by determination.
Congratulations such an inspiring success story of following your own style and dreams!!
Thanks Jo x
Well done! I’ve been following you for a while but don’t often comment, usually because just as I plan to do so, life interrupts! I so admire your tenacity, passion and of course, style. Sharing your ups, and downs, is a real page turner and I enjoy getting my Abigail email on a Monday morning ( I have to amalgamate or I wouldnt get to read all your posts!) you deserve all your success and wish you all the very best. X
Most kind thank you very much x
that is a Wowzar! loving the Garden shot. Well done you x
Thank you
I am really pleased for you. You deserve every bit of your success,!!!
Thank you beyond kind
It’s not just your passion for interiors that is so inspiring (although I am totally nuts about that too) but the success you’re achieiving through being 100% true to your own unique style is so inspiring!! As someone who studied interior design but got brow beaten into getting a proper job – hearing your story of how you got started in interiors at your masterclass & seeing all the success you’re having has made me determined to finally give it a shot! Congratulations on all this recognition – you totally deserve it! Soon the whole world will be converted to the dark side! x
Thank you and best wishes in following your dreams, you won’t regret it I am sure
so happy for you , you work so hard and deserve the results( as does the lovely Maud) xxxx
So well deserved for finding such an amazing style and look and staying true to it. Congratulations! I’m going to check out your London workshops !
I’m still lamenting the fact that I can’t attend your NYC masterclass due to clash of schedule :~(…. I’m still crossing my fingers that you can come in the fall. But a question per whizzyissy post: when the whole world converted to the dark side, how do we (ahem… your ‘earlier’ follower before you were ‘discovered’) maintain our edgy style?

Don’t worry, firstly the world won’t convert to the dark side its far to cutting edge for most, and secondly it will just keep evolving, nothing stays static (well some designers styles do but I won’t get into that). I shall continue following my heart, sticking to what I love, its done me pretty well up to this point in life so will continue doing just that
Thank you for showing that passion for what you believe in and individuality can make dreams come true! And what a pleasure to walk through the supermarket after a boring old Monday and find your feature on the cover of real living! Bring on October!
Very kind thank you, having a bit of boring old Monday syndrome myself!
Adore reading your blogs and wowzars indeedy- what a fabulous weekend! Very inspiring and roll on more global domination to make the world of interiors a more funky fab place. Long may your success continue to stratospheric levels. Can’t wait to meet you on 30th! Jacqueline x p.s. you forgot to add regular shipments of champers to your wish list or hmmm is that just me?
I did forget about the champers silly me, fundamental see you on the 30th
You are truly an inspiration Abigail, well done on all your hard work and perseverance, for making your dream come true, well deserved!!
Congratulations! You’re such an inspiration! Keep doing your thing girl!
Lovely words thank you
Congrats! You make England proud…and of course more stylish! I was considering taking up hoarding just so you could come round for a cup of tea and a revamp! I promise I’m not half as difficult as some of the other hoarders!
Very funny, thank you
it’s amazing that in such a “creative” field, daring to be different can still be frowned upon by so many… continued congrats on breaking the mould &, in so doing, encouraging others to do the same!
Thank you Susan very sweet x
Congratulations!!! You and your style are truly awesome. Savour this moment and the many more that will come your way. You deserve it. Look forward to meeting you in Melbourne. X
Thank you see you in Melbourne
