The Johnston Collection 2010 – The Kitchen
The Kitchen:
The applied wall shelving was highlighted dark green and gold, from memory. We suggested to re paint to blend with the existing wall colour.
Bridget Evans and Suzi Mann, cut back and re painted them, while the furniture was being placed. I had such a wonderful team back in 2010.
Having the best suited assistance is imperative when running a specialist business.
As you can see how nice they now blend in, rather than fighting for attention with ceramics.
We were very proud of this change.
The Johnston Collection 2010 – Mr Johnston’s Study

I heard about the Johnston collection many years ago and on seeing it was ‘enthralled’ by the overall quality and uniqueness of Mr Johnston’s collection.
Visually for me sometimes less is more and my initial reaction was to lighten the content. Thus began a process as an example, I placed one painting where previously there had been two, lots of subtle changes. I certainly don’t appreciate minimalism but on the other hand, I don’t like a cluttered appearance.
