Here is a home for the romantics. I have been busting to shoot Ursula and Hans van Schoonhoven's home since I met them at their fab store, House of Orange, last year. I love their philosophy of making 'clean, honest designs', and the pared back way Ursula uses colour. And as usual, it is the unrenovated, charming and elegantly run-down homes that I always fall in love with the most.
My favourite quote from Ursula involved three bottles of gin (on the mantle) as follows:
"A wedding gift, these gin bottles are labelled ‘Tears of the Bride’, ‘Venus Oil’ and ‘Complete Happiness’. What can I say, we have drunk them all…"
What can I say?
