She's a designer (textiles, wallpaper etc) and does lovely stuff, a wee bit 50s ish some of it, british, often in the house mags, just cannot think of her name.

Shop in London Notting hill....on the tip of my tongue

No Marina - not flowers, more groovy patterns. Lots of colour.

She has an unusual name....it's drining me mad (want to look at her wallpaper).

Not Kath!
I've gone blank too. I keep seeing Marimekko fabrics now and I know that's not what you mean.

We lost an early 60s townhouse due to arsey sellers six years ago and can you tell I am still sulking about it? Love those textiles etc and they would look criminal in our 20s widdle-stained semi

METAL block - LOL

Yep. Three stories of warm-air-heating, full-house-width picture windows, parquet flooring BLISS.
Bastards. Still think dark thoughts when I pass their accursed cul de sac.
Actually, what I really want is a Frank Lloyd Wright, Ice Storm type pad.
