"Interior designer Emma Edmonds' home is tiny but that doesn't deter her from filling it with a host of unlikely items, including a full-size swing in the living room and a slipper bath on her patio. The result is a home full of furniture gems and joie de vivre There's a sign over Emma Edmonds' bed which reads: "Spill salt over your left shoulder, keep rosemary by your garden gate, plant lavender for luck and fall in love whenever you can.""
"Emma says it's from her favourite movie Practical Magic and she abides by it all - there is rosemary to the front of her house and lavender in the back garden, she does spill salt over her shoulder and she admits to falling in love regularly, though the current love of her life is 10-year-old Maxi, a Maltese Terrier. It's an eclectic collection of advice and judging by her home, eclectic should be her middle name."
Emma Edmonds' bijou county Wicklow pad is densely furnished with paintings, mirrors and a multitude of decorative objects on every surface. A sign above the bed instructs rituals and charms: spill salt over the left shoulder, keep rosemary by the gate, plant lavender for luck and fall in love whenever possible. Rosemary grows at the front and lavender at the back, and salt is regularly spilled over the shoulder. The house contains miniature houses, ceramic faces and Staffordshire dogs, plus a full-sized swing in the living room and a slipper bath on the patio, creating exuberant, eclectic charm.
