INTERIORS

The beauty of writing about interiors is that the stories never die. Style and creativity are concepts that can travel across the borders of time and space. Turtle first understood this when a magazine took the honourable decision to publish a story about a stunning farmhouse in Zimbabwe six months after its owners had been evicted and the house itself destroyed. Since 2000, Turtle and the photographer James Fennell have embarked on series of assignments around Africa, Mexico, Sri Lanka, the USA and Europe. 

Their first book Living in Sri Lanka was published by Thames & Hudson in March 2006. The book received widespread attention for its positive portrayal of post-tsunami Sri Lanka. It was declared "Book of the Month" by The Essential KBB, "The Hot Read" by In Style and one of the three "Hot Summer Reads" by Elle Decoration.

Vogue Living, The Financial Times, The Scotsman, Sunday Express, The Independent, House & Garden, The Irish Times, International Homes Magazine, Image Interiors and The White Book were amongst other major players to give their full support to the book.

Interiors stories by Turtle Bunbury have also featured in The Financial Times, Vogue Living, The Irish Times and House & Garden.

Turtle is currently Homes Editor of The White Book and The Book of Interiors.

Examples of Turtle's interiors work can also be found on www.Villas.com and International Homes Magazine.
