WELCOME TO EP 74. TODAY I’M TALKING TO PATRICK WILLIAMS OF BERDOULAT, THE DESIGN SHOP & INTERIORS PRACTICE THAT HE CO OWNS & RUNS WITH HIS WIFE NERI, BASED IN BATH. PATRICK & NERI HAVE CREATED A BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION OF FURNITURE, KITCHENWARES, TABLEWARES & DECORATIVE ITEMS IN THEIR NOW WORLD FAMOUS STORE - & ARE WELL KNOWN FOR THEIR CONSIDERED & STYLISH RESTORATION OF PERIOD PROPERTIES, IN ENGLAND, EUROPE & AMERICA.

I THINK I NEED TO START BY SAYING THAT WHEN I FIRST SPOKE TO PATRICK, I HAD AN IDEA OF HOW I WANTED THIS EPISODE TO GO, BUT AFTER A VERY LONG CHAT THAT FELT LIKE 10 MINUTES THAT WAS, IN FACT, MORE LIKE AN HOUR & A HALF - I REALISED PRETTY QUICKLY THAT WE ARE PROFOUNDLY ALIGNED IN LOTS OF WAYS MEANING IT SWIFTLY CHANGED DIRECTION! AND THAT’S THE PART OF PATRICK THAT I WANT TO FOCUS ON TODAY,  SO THAT YOU CAN GET TO KNOW HIM A LITTLE BETTER TOO. PATRICK’S WEBSITE IS WWW.BERDOULAT.CO.UK & INSTAGRAM IS @berdoulat_interior_design.
