elegance of Scandinavian design. There are striking pieces of
artwork decorating the white walls, painted by her mother-in-
law, who is an artist in England.
What Catherine is known for professionally is sourcing
beautiful semi-precious stones and creating unique jewellery
for her clients, but one of her other loves is ceramics. “People
who know me well know that I have a real passion for ceramics
and I have therefore been given some beautiful pieces along
the way, and they act as a constant reminder of friends and
loved ones,” she says. At her home, there are many ceramics in
different sizes and shapes. “I don’t think there is any one thing I
would never part with, but I am a great collector of objects and
like to have them around me, as most of them were acquired
whist travelling and so have a story or a great memory behind
them.”
The beauty of this home is that everyone has space
to do their own thing. There are terraces that flow off the
dining and living room, with a roof-top that has views of the
mountains and the ocean. Catherine’s favourite space is the
living room. “On a sunny day, with the light pouring in, and an
almost uninterrupted view out to the ocean, it is a great place
to sit,” she says. By furnishing each room with keepsakes and
heirlooms, Catherine has created a charming and cosy home
for a family who are constantly on the move.
