RESTORED COUNTRY HOME IN TASMANIA

17 July 2013

For most of us Tasmania feels a long way away but what a treat of a home when you finally make it there.
 
Edwina and Mark were married on the porch of their beautifully restored country home in which they have clearly invested a lot of love and attention to detail. The doors that form the main entrance are antique French and Edwina painted the floorboards in the main hallway in a checkerboard pattern which draws you inside.

The changing tableau in the hallway features beachcomb finds and the fact that Edwina grows her own peonies – my favourite flower – is the icing on the cake.

RESTORED, RECLAIMED, RECYCLED – VICTORIAN FAMILY HOME

24 June 2013

This lovingly transformed three-bedroom Victorian terraced house in Hertfordshire is packed with character.
 
The owners restored the old floorboards, used recycled fruit crates as kitchen cabinet doors and even built their own sofa because they couldn’t find one they liked. Now that’s hands on! I particularly like the clever use of under-stairs space for storage and creating a snug for hiding away. Vintage pieces like an old suitcase, pictures frame and antlers add to the reclaimed feel. A beautiful conherent look that won’t date.
