Thank goodness he listens to me ;-) Birmingham Interiors 2009 was interesting, but certainly wasn't jam packed to the rafters with stunning new collections and over the top stands, it was clear the credit crunch had taken it's toll. Very little fabric and wallpaper, maybe they were sticking to Decorex. 

But there was still lots of inspiration and we did some great interviews with people like Piers from Designers Block. Will post pics.....
