Based on the wish of Abdullah, a little boy who had cancer and did not want to spend any more time in hospital, KACCH (Kuwait Association for the care of Children in Hospital ) organized a specialized medical team to help Abdullah’s mother take care of her son at home until. He died six months later but was surrounded by his family and favorite things.
This case is what actually brought forward the concept of Bayt Abdullah Children’s Hospice (BACCH). The project is to allow children with terminal conditions to be looked after at home or in the hospice itself.

Debenhams collaborated with several famous figures for their home collections such as Kelly Hoppen, Elizabeth Hurley, Jamie Oliver, and Kylie Minogue. I had no idea Kylie had an ” At Home” collection until I passed by Debenhams a few days ago. The designs and quality are actually nice, didn't like the cushions much though, too much going on, but the bed covers were elegant. The prices are reasonable but as usual more expensive than in the UK where there is a 20% sale on this collection.
You can check them out at their various locations. Debenhams are located in Sharq Mall and Avenues.

The above piece is one of the most beautiful by Fendi Casa from their 2011 collection, the Fabio sofa. The fabric is exquisite.
