NEW BLOOM

Renovating their Oxfordshire farmhouse has allowed Charlie and Toby Quartley to grow an at-home floristry business, too

- 

Flower-filled and decorated in the colours of a spring bouquet, it’s no surprise that this Cotswold home also doubles as a base for owner Charlie Quartley’s floristry business, The Flower Fairies. In fact, when she and her husband, Toby, bought it in 2011, their first priority was to create her studio. ‘I had a change of career when the children were born,’ says Charlie. ‘I longed for something that would express my creativity and allow me to be at home with the children. A few arrangements and a couple of friends’ weddings later and my path was set.’
