TO THE MANOR BORN
If you missed Christopher Hitchen's story on English eccentrics in this month's Vanity Fair, there's time to catch up on the wacky/eclectic trend at Vancouver décor website www.theenglisheccentric.com.
Add a touch if 1930s whimsy to the foot of your bed with a vintage silk eiderdown or drape a floral Cath Kidston throw over the arm of your chesterfield (in the drawing room of course).
If your bloke has an unnatural attachment to his Oxford tweeds, try these men's cushions made from vintage waistcoats and upcycled Burberry men's coats.
Or make a posh statement in the boudoir with vintage milk glass lamps shaded in gorgeous antique fabrics, or stylishly mismatched teacups for your mad hatter's tea party. Barking!
