Acknowledgements
I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the completion of each of the rooms shown in this book. Without them my designs could not have been executed. Even when some of the projects were complicated they fulfilled the vision perfectly. The list below includes suppliers, showrooms, installers, painters, workrooms, contractors and artists. Not listed are my wonderful clients without whose inner desires none of these rooms could have come about.
