so we went. and did all the things as quickly as we could, the most exciting: a workshop at rita konig’s flat where she walked us through the essentials of english decorating.
an overnight flight but there was no sleep to be had. just 8 hours without wifi. #WORSTLIFE |
every corner of rita’s flat was enviable, with artwork covering each wall, marianna kennedy lamps adding a pop of unexpected color, cheerful cachepots and an array of antique textiles |
we stopped in the chiltren firehouse for brunch and fell in love with the hotel’s perfectly english vibe |

lunch set up for us at rita’s – it was delicious: soup, chunks of crusty french bread with salty butter, and the best stinky cheese. |
