17 What do you think is the best renovation you can do to your home?
TB
Filling it with things you love! And of course, a fresh coat of paint always does wonders!

18 What is your favourite space that you’ve designed?
TB
I designed an H&M loves Elle opening in Norway where I created an indoor garden party fully loaded with a decked out boho chic harvest table, mixed chairs and benches, and heaps and heaps of birdcages filled with cupcakes and champagne. McJaggers daughter Karis was on the turn tables and we danced the night away - it was so much fun!

19 What’s the biggest design faux pas?
TB

20 Marilyn, Audrey or Jackie?
TB
Marilyn Monroe!
