Queen Elizabeth Room at Burghley House Interiors: I visited the V&A several weeks ago and was utterly dazzled by the Medieval and Renaissance Galleries.  Ever since I have been slightly obsessed with the rich fabrics that were used throughout this period and into the Baroque.  I have secretly amassed a drawer of samples to feed my sudden hunger and I’m especially coveting fabrics by Watts of Westminster and English Home.  This magnificent bedroom at Burghley House is an embodiment of everything that inspired me at the V&A.  I would love to attempt a contemporary interpretation of a four poster bed and monumental tapestry combination.  Less is less.  More is more!
