A new series of chats in the kitchen with some of the most inspiring, go-getter women I know. Join us every fortnight for a chat about work, life and design. This week I interview Kimberly Duran, interior blogger at Swoon Worthy. Grab a cuppa and join us...

If you're in the early, first-time stages of renovating or redecorating a kitchen like me, and you too have no idea what the process to order a new kitchen entails, then I hope today's post will help walk you through how we have designed and (almost) ordered ours at Howdens.
