Ideal Home Truths
Where's your happy place?
The little patio at the end of my garden. It looks out over a field with a beautiful oak tree and it's my favourite spot for the morning cuppa!
What's your home addiction?
Framed artwork! My wife and I love to collect unique pieces whether it's our framed Mr T tea towel, photographer prints from our travels or art prints. I think we have now actually run out of walls to hang them!
What's your next home project?
I've just finished renovating our bedroom where we uncovered a beautiful brick fireplace. Next on the list is our built-in bookcase in the kitchen-living area, which I'm painting a bright turquoise colour.
