My story
We chose this house with practicality in mind. Our last home was a Victorian fixer-upper, which I loved, but we've got two small children now, so this time we needed something liveable from the start. It's a relatively new property, and the style inside wasn't really for me, but everything was perfectly functional.
Since we moved in, I've worked my way through the rooms, redecorating, changing floors and building furniture and storage. I want our home to feel cosy, inviting and lived-in, so people relax when they're here. Texture is really important, and natural wood too, for warmth. I'm not really into colour, so it's all about layers of neutrals and touches of black. It's a family home as well, so nothing feels too pristine.
I'm a huge DIY fan, and I've always
