Spring awakening: A new look for spring A winter renovation gives a West London house a new look for spring “This house has been far out at sea all night,” wrote Ted Hughes, about the effects of a storm. While a storm hasn’t quite passed through this classic West London terraced house – (unlike seemingly everywhere else in the country) - it has undergone a dramatic renovation over the winter – more so, perhaps, than the owners thought it would, especially considering that they stayed in situ for the duration. “We ate out a lot” they explain, referring to the months spent having an entirely new kitchen put in. That, and a basement extension out into the garden have had a knock-on effect through the rest of the house, in terms of colour, the position of furniture, and even on the owners’ aesthetics. “The hills have new places,” continued Hughes. The new kitchen. The concrete island is by Concreations, the stools are from Muuto, and the blue and white dish on top of the island is 18th Century blue and white china, available to buy - click through to Shop the Shoot But let’s start with the kitchen, because, after all, that is where they started. “It was just very dark,” explains Kitty Galsworthy, who works at Conde Nast and so has had her already good eye honed over the years by long exposure to World of Interiors and House & Garden. “And it made sense to do an extension at the same time.” Their architect was Nigel Hetherington from London Studio Architecture. “There was a moment when I worried,” Kitty remarks, “That it’s modernity just wouldn’t be very ‘me’.” Her gaze sweeps over the expanse of poured concrete floor done by Lazenby, and the concrete island by Concreations at which she’s currently standing preparing a pheasant curry, and she laughs. “But I love it. And I think my style has changed while we’ve been doing it.” She happily shows off the cleverness of the West London Kitchens cupboards that line the walls, revealing a breakfast bar, larder, and everything else that a kitchen needs to actually function. There is a kettle integrated within the tap in the sink – from Quooker, if you’re looking for something similar - as an actual kettle would destroy the clean lines of the otherwise slick kitchen. Perhaps the best surprise though is hidden under the stairs: a bar, lined with bottles of Sipsmith Gin, the distillery that Kitty’s husband Sam founded. “I actually wanted utilities under here. Sam won.” I don’t imagine that it’s a loss that will be mourned for long, as the room, with it’s natural fluidity and the wall of glass doors that open straight into the garden, is seemingly made for parties. Extra seating comes in the form of a bench that the architect put in, with simple but useful shelving on each side. Above the bench hangs a painting by Gary Bunt, who is represented by the Portland Gallery, showing a bothy “like the one we were staying in when we got engaged.” The house is full of such momentos: upstairs is a cosy sitting room, with a real fire. The kilim on the floor was a Moroccan honeymoon find, and ultimately has influenced their decision as to what colour to paint the wall, which is the darkest colour you can see daubed on the wall: Farrow & Ball’s Hague Blue. “It’s a north-facing room, so . . .” A study is wallpapered in Barneby Gates’ Boxing Hares in Billiard Green – Vanessa Barneby is a former Living Editor of Vogue, and Alice Gates an illustrator – Kitty admits to being somewhat obsessed with their ‘classically English with a contemporary twist’ line of wallpapers. Sam even papered her a bathroom in Barneby Gates English Robins as a surprise.

Entertaining at Home; What You Need to Make it Perfect One of my friends who is English but lives in New York recently told me that what she misses most about England is dinner parties, and being entertained in other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s houses. Going to restaurants is fine and good, and the major benefit is no washing up, but the atmosphere is not as relaxed. Often, due to noise levels, conversation can only take place with the people immediately next to you rather than across and around the table, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the

business of decisions to be made (which wine?) and the bill to pay. At home, you can be in total control of how the table looks, which is without doubt my favourite aspectsto giving a dinner party. It’s so nice to eat of one’s own china. (One Russian prince I know, when his house was being renovated, took all his own china and knives and forks to his favourite restaurant so that he could still do this, and host dinners and lunches ‘at home’ while not.)

Warm Summer "I had a wonderful painting holiday near Bezier. I was inspired by the landscape. I loved the lines of trees in the distance, the rows of vineyards and the little houses nestled in the hills. I started to use washes in the background then collaged on top to create depth and hidden words within each painting to add interest . I hope that every time you look at the painting you notice something new."

Protecting the assets!

Just like the rest of London, there is a wide variety of people living on Old Brompton Rd. Many have lived here for decades and some are just on short-term assignment randomly placed into the neighbourhood by an agent. Pam Collins from Atlanta, Georgia is a part-time member of the Brompton community as she regularly comes to London on business and stays with her friend, a long-time Brompton resident. After several years with KPMG, Pam founded Collins Consulting in 1992 to support boards and CEOs of insurance companies. In 2002 she founded CC Consulting Bermuda Ltd and expanded her client base to include companies in London and Bermuda. In 2009 Business Insurance magazine named Pam as one of the top 25 women to watch globally in the insurance industry. One of Pamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite parts of the neighbourhood is its close proximity to Chelsea FC. Pam discovered the English Premier League while living in Bermuda. At first it was a hobby like most sports fans, but as time went on she discovered a true passion for the business side of the sport and has dedicated herself to learning everything she can about the sport and its global footprint. She has been enthusiastically managing a fantasy team since 2008, and has attended over two dozen Premier and Champions League matches in eight different stadiums. However, it was high up in the Andes Mountains of Peru when she made the decision that would change the future of Collins Consulting.

It was the Quarter Final of the 2012 European Cup and England was matched against Italy. Pam was traveling by van from the Inca capital Cusco to Puno near Lake Titicaca. It was a seven hour journey and Pam knew she was going to miss the important match. Stopping for a random break, Pam wandered around the village and discovered a restaurant that looked more like a hut with a small TV set tuned to the match. She accepted the â&#x20AC;&#x153;gift from Godâ&#x20AC;? as she was thrilled to discover it was just starting the second period of overtime with the score still tied 0-0. Her happiness was quickly shattered as England was eliminated over penalty kicks. Climbing back into the van, Pam was greeted by very unhappy Americans that were upset they had to wait until the match ended to continue the journey.

Completely shocked to think they had no appreciation for what had just transpired on the pitch, Pam decided in that very instant that her passion for football was so deep and her interest so strong that she would do whatever it took to find a way to work in the football industry.

brompton spring

Fast forward to 2014 and you will find that Pam has found the perfect way to match the skills of her consulting team to the football industry. She believes there is an opportunity to collaborate with football clubs and sponsors to come up with innovative ways to mitigate risk by transferring exposures to the capital markets. Her new company, Collins Sports Insurance Agency, provides insurance products to effectively manage sporting liability, increase player satisfaction, encourage fan engagement and increase outreach. Central to Collinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to provide customized solutions to clients is the expert data analysis team that can evaluate a teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial and performance data, compare this data to benchmarks, and use this analysis to customize risk transfer arrangements for the client.

To gain football specific knowledge Pam has been attending Soccerex Forums, Leaders in Sports Summits, taking sports business classes and reading numerous books, in addition to analyzing the annual Deloitte Football report and building an extensive database of the information she is gathering. Pam has over twenty years of experience in alternative risk transfer products, and her professional credentials include a Certified Public Accountants license, and both a standard insurance and surplus lines license. Pam will be spending even more time in our Old Brompton Rd neighbourhood as her football plans gain traction and move forward.
