She tells us more\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\"><strong>I started out as an accountant in the NHS, <\/strong>then ended up with a 16-year career buying coffee. While working in this corporate environment, I also had a stand in an antiques centre to indulge my passion for buying beautiful things. I shared this with my sister until I became pregnant \u2013 my boys are 21 this year!<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\"><strong>Several years ago I was involved in a serious car accident, <\/strong>after which I could no longer work in such a highpressure environment. I met my new partner, Steve, shortly after my accident. He had lived in France for many years and was an antiques dealer \u2013a perfect match. C\u2019est Tout was born, albeit in an antiques centre to begin with.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\"><strong>Eventually I wanted somewhere with enough space to get across our look, <\/strong>somewhere with atmosphere and, above all, a place that wasn\u2019t intimidating. When I found this barn it was derelict and unavailable; it needed a lot of vision. We finally got the keys in May 2020, right in the middle of the first lockdown. We threw ourselves into renovating and documented the process on Instagram, selling things to make money for the renovations.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"no-tts wp-block-purple-slider\" data-autoplay=\"true\" data-speed=\"300\" data-effect=\"fade\"><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/dj9jqhxgw9833.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/49\/2022\/04\/TS-Cest-Tout-Interiors-8_preview.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"9648\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/homesantiques\/?attachment_id=9648\"\/><figcaption>Customers say visiting C\u2019est Tout, in the village of Milton under Wychwood, is like walking into France. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/dj9jqhxgw9833.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/49\/2022\/03\/208793e0-152f-428c-bb7f-aa8d52d69b65.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"5596\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/homesantiques\/208793e0-152f-428c-bb7f-aa8d52d69b65\/\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/dj9jqhxgw9833.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/49\/2022\/03\/a5c8e28b-52af-43c8-8269-b9e4a1b3f8da.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"5598\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/homesantiques\/a5c8e28b-52af-43c8-8269-b9e4a1b3f8da\/\"\/><figcaption>Owner Kathryn McFall loves everything about her job. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/dj9jqhxgw9833.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/49\/2022\/03\/52cf1977-9674-460b-96fc-11e12b0379bc.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"5599\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/homesantiques\/52cf1977-9674-460b-96fc-11e12b0379bc\/\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/dj9jqhxgw9833.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/49\/2022\/04\/TS-Cest-Tout-Interiors-Plate_preview.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"9649\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/homesantiques\/?attachment_id=9649\"\/><figcaption>C&#8217;est Tout specialises in decorative French antiques and furniture.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/dj9jqhxgw9833.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/49\/2022\/04\/TS-Cest-Tout-Interiors-3_preview.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"9650\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/homesantiques\/?attachment_id=9650\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/dj9jqhxgw9833.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/49\/2022\/04\/TS-Cest-Tout-Interiors-15_preview-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"9651\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/homesantiques\/?attachment_id=9651\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\"><strong>The barn is on a small industrial estate in a little Cotswolds village. <\/strong>We sell decorative French painted antiques and specialise in comfortable, rustic, timeworn pieces \u2013 things you don\u2019t have to be precious about, but can live comfortably with.
