Dark masculine changes to Burnham interior chic
When we moved premises nearly 10 years ago from The Old Forge to the main Market Place, I made best use of all my old furniture which even included my grandparents dining room table with matching oak chairs, which set my theme, not that I really had one, to a dark masculine look. This was further added to after a visit to Country and Eastern in Norwich, where I was quite carried away and returned with heavy Indian furniture with matching columns and sculptures. I have been allowed to get away with this look for probably far too long until my fellow director, Charmaine, reminded me I was very much in the minority in what is a very successful but female dominated office. I therefore did the only sane course of action and agreed to give her carte blanche for refurbishment. Burnham Interiors, headed by Nanci Gillett and Penny Bonas were quickly called in to do their magic.
Their brief was to recreate a beautiful coastal home interior with functionality. Well I am pleased to say they have done just that. Ottaway Building & Carpentry did a wonderful job of the joinery, Reeve Flooring have laid a great oak floor, which is complimented by Supreme Carpets diamond carpet. The furniture is very clean and chic, using Lloyd Loom of Spalding designs as well as French Scumble Goosie tables. This clean look is a great background to our new digital property displays, which are balanced with some wonderful hand drawn architectural sketch drawings of the local houses and shops, which are supplied with the permission of the local artists in the Burnham Market Society, all featured in their Walk Around Burnham book, which was produced and now in memory of the late Stuart Murphy of Burnham Market.
