Inspiration - Chocolate Brown Squares

Inspiration - India Hicks' Island life

I started another new job last week and this particular client is inspired by India Hicks' Island Life.

India and her family are based in the Caribbean and it is her homes and other interiors that this book is based on. The interiors demostrate a combination of the Caribbean's informality and simplicity along with the classic British good taste. I think it works well.
