Wow, absolutely fascinating tour - thank you for giving us a preview! It's really beautiful.
And never before have I seen so many Bourgie Lamps in one place! Did I count five?
My favourite things are the round cubby hole shelves, the wire outline chandelier, and the mirrored bedside trunks, the patterns cast by the pendant ceiling light in the living area.
Well done on creating a wonderful home!

I love it, beautiful, you must be very proud and rightly so. I would love to know where you got the wallpaper in the first bedroom and the terracota warriors from?! xx

You have some beautiful things in your home and should be very proud of how you have displayed them. I especially love the Dining Table (i mean really love!!) and also the lantern, the horse (i want him!) and mushroom picture. I do have two questions though.... first, how do you get in and out of bed in the black and white bedroom and second, how can you see past your friend on the coffee table?
Well done on a great home!

Such an interesting house! I love the metal shiny trunk in the bedroom and the metal letters which look like liitle stools? Can I ask where you got them from?

Very, very nice indeed!
Do you mind me asking what colour you used for the living room (where you have a giant mushroom, and table and bench)? I've been looking for a perfect sandy-grey, and that was a lovely shade... :-)
Anyways... fantastic place!!

Wow. Your house is like an upmarket boutique hotel. You have a great eye for colour. Love the shadows your ceiling light casts.

Thank you! I am really happy you like my design! I also like using megalitic elements, it is a great statement and much nicer for the eyes then lots of little things (unless they are grouped in a collection). I like disproportional scale of Chinese terracotta warriors in my Victorian house! )
Below more projects which I have completed:

Thank you! I like Bourgie lamps but could afford to buy only one gold and used it in different context in different shots, silver were more affordable but still expensive 
The trunks are stainless steel by Andrew Martin (I love his stuff!)
The outline chandelier is made of neon - I bougth it in New York. The 3D patterns cast by the Moroccan lamp look amazing in reality - better then in pictures!

Thank you for you kind words! The wallpaper looks fab in reality! It is Corallo by Fornasetti (as well as his faces-cushions!) I love his work, he is amazing! The terracota warriors are bought by me from China, I am actually selling them on ebay.

Thank you for you kind words! I am selling some elements of my design on ebay.
Good point about the bedroom - originally it was my study, now temporarily I turned it into a bedroom (I am renting it out) but eventually I will move back there and change it function again to a study. Hence the access to the bed is only from one side...:)) The kitchen table is made out of some Indian architectural element...maybe an old doors.. it is fab! I love it too, it is massive, you can work, eat, talk to friends...the most important furniture in the house!

Thank you! Stainless steel trunks in my bedroom and letters in the living room are from Andrew Martin - I love his style and I am very proud that my projects are published in his book (Andrew Martin Interior Design Review) in 2008 and this house is due to appear in 2009 book!!! I still can't believe it! I am very honoured!

Thank you very much for your kind words! I am really happy! ha! the colour of the house! Thank you for noticing this! it took me a really really long time to find a perfect shade of grey!!! it matches literally everything as it is a mixture of grey with stone ("warm grey" it is not enough to describe it - it behaves differently in each room and in each lighting...great one...it is Stone IV from Paint and Paper Library...again in reality looks thousand times better and more interesting then pictures...
