He died in 1034, perhaps poisoned by her, and she married her lover and chamberlain, who became Michael IV. CHAMBERLAIN Lifestyle Editor WHEN it comes to the finishing touches in your home, shabby is currently en vogue. This is a fresh take on country style, involving crisp cottons, pastel prints and ceramics in spring greens, creamy whites and every shade of pink. Beautiful oversized rose prints, irregular stripes, gingham, and polka dot prints feature strongly on patchwork detail cushions, quilted throws, napkins and cotton-covered notebooks. For the kitchen, go for oversized fifties-style bread bins, coffee, tea and sugar pots alongside chunky rose print teacups
