2/10 Hallway | Cosy Georgian cottage house tour

A few junk shop finds and some eclectic paintings add interest to this neutral hallway scheme

The Pluto salad bowl at Alessi is like this, and The Chelsea Gardener can make a wire planter for you.

3/10 Home office | Cosy Georgian cottage house tour

The hallway doubles as a study area, with painted tongue-and-groove panelling to add character. The floorboards were sanded down and treated with Swedish white wax oil, creating a lighter, brighter feel.

Find similar tongue and groove at Wickes, and a similar solid wood table at Raft.

4/10 Kitchen | Cosy Georgian cottage house tour

The modern-rustic kitchen was originally a washroom. The huge vintage Aga takes centre stage underneath the fireplace.

Find similar lights at Holloways of Ludlow, and wooden benches at Elemental. The cupboard is painted in Farrow & Ball's Cornforth White.

5/10 Aga | Cosy Georgian cottage house tour

A vintage Aga works perfectly with an all-white scheme in this kitchen. A blackboard adds interest, while the arrangement of bottles creates a rustic feel.

The Aga is from Sussex Classic Cookers.

6/10 Dining room | Cosy Georgian cottage house tour

In the light and airy dining room, an unremarkable table has been transformed with a coat of white paint, while French mirrors, and interesting finds such as the huge tea urn, candelabras and a globe lamp, add character.

Find a similar French mirror at Graham & Green and a similar chandelier at Crystal Chandelier Company

In the living room, the fireplace was opened up to provide a focus for the room.

The sofa has been recovered in ticking fabric, available at Ian Mankin. The rug is from The British Sheepskin Company.

8/10 Bedroom | Cosy Georgian cottage house tour

The soft grey tone of the bedroom creates a restful environment.

The walls are painted in Albany's 6966 from Brewers, and the floorboards in Farrow & Ball's Strong White. The Broughton sleigh bed at Laura Ashley is a wooden classic.

9/10 Dressing table | Cosy Georgian cottage house tour

Feminine charm has been added to the bedroom with a vintage-style dressing table and country florals armchair.

The dressing table is from French Finds. Find a floral armchair at Laura Ashley. Grand Illusions does wire bins, and the crystal cage light at RE is in this style.

Tongue-and-groove panelling has been taken right to the ceiling and painted a muted green shade to give the room a modern feel.
