HAMPSHIRE, England (CNN) -- Amid the rolling hills of the English countryside is the gothic revival schoolhouse-turned-country home of London jewelry designer Elizabeth Gage.

Gage says she takes inspiration for her work from nature, but it is the schoolhouse that called her here, and it's what gives her the most pleasure.

"It wasn't the part of the country, it was the house, and it was really uniquely the house," she says. "When I come down here, I forget about everything else and I garden and I create.

"I find that whatever I do, my creative spirit comes out -- whether it's decorating or gardening, or cooking."
