Country kitchen
The painted units and wooden worktop were built by a joiner for a fraction of the cost of a high-street buy. The range cooker is from Esse, and the chimney breast above it was constructed to disguise the extractor fan.

Dining area
The greens and blues of the map provided inspiration for the dining room's colour scheme. The banquette seating was built to fit by the joiner, and contains hidden storage for their outdoor seating cushions. The green pendant old school lamps are from The French House.

Family room
Their joiner built the cupboards and shelves to store books and treasured possessions. Every cupboard and shelf was measured specifically for the things planned to go in there. There's another Jackson armchair from Sofa.com in here accessorised with a Hare in Grass cushion from Helen Minns.

Hallway
The newel post and handrail were painted in Pigeon estate eggshell by Farrow & Ball to contrast against the spindles of the staircase. Pigeon has become a bit of a signature colour for this house as it was also used it for the front door and the exterior of the French windows at the back.
