The units are from Ikea and Charlotte and Sam added a quartz worktop to give it a feeling of luxury To have one creative string to your bow is all well and good. To have two is a major achievement. Mother of one, lawyer, dancer, singer and actor Charlotte Fisher can now add interior designer and TV personality to the everexpanding list of her talents. For anyone who, like me, is an avid fan of Interior Design Masters, Charlotte will be instantly recognisable.
