Like many perfectionists, Mr. Pawson fell in love with his opposite. Catherine Pawson is an interior designer and a self-defined hoarder and sentimentalist who used to work for Colefax & Fowler, the very English design house famous for its cabbage rose chintzes.
“It was a complete joke of how we could ever live together,” she said. “But I don’t think two extreme perfectionists could. Someone needs to compromise. For me, it’s easy. For John, it’s a challenge.”
She described life in the Pawson home: “Nothing is ever good enough, so things get frozen and our life is very imperfect.” After their house was done, she recalled asking her husband where the bathroom faucets were. “He said, ‘I’m designing them.’ And your heart sinks because you know it will be another year. He’s the same with clothes. Nothing is good enough, so he walks around with coats with holes in them. When we travel, we have to change hotel rooms three times because the angle of the view isn’t correct. It even happens on airplanes. I like furniture and I like things in a house, and I finally got my sofa after 20 years.”
