I am a well-established interior designer and artist who founded the Interior Co in 1997 to offer interior lifestyle and products under one roof.In turn, I worked my magic on "Turtledove Hideaway," when, with an investment of £10,000, I created a sought-after retreat for couples which was listed with the selective Unique Homestays for three years until it was established in its own right. My unique retreat, Turtledove Hideaway, has appeared on the front cover of an Italian magazine and has been featured in Germany and Canada, featured in the Sunday Telegraph, The Times, and The Daily Mail, along with House Beautiful magazine. My work as an interior designer has been featured in many magazines, including Country Homes & Interiors, 25 Beautiful Homes, Ideal Home, and the high-profile Italian magazine, Ristrutturare. I am considered a successful artist, and two of my famous feather design paintings have sold to American clients as a direct result of appearing in international interior magazines. The Times, The Telegraph and The Daily Mail have applauded me for my "fantastic creativity" along with interior designers and architects from around the globe. There's nothing quite like reading the guest book after they have left - it's the first thing I can't wait to do! Kerrie Griffin Multi-Award-Winning Interior Designer
