Annette defines her approach to design and personal style as changing and evolving over time: “I have often said that I like everything. That is to say that my likes and dislikes have changed over the years depending upon my lifestyle. When I was single I was more adventurous with my design palette, when I started having children I became more practical. The result over the past 15 years has led me to live a very “layered” life. Full of treasures and memories from the many different influences and experiences I have had. “ (Source)
