Our Old New Home

Our Old New Home

had a few DM’s yesterday to say that our episode of George Clarke’s Old House New Home appeared on More4 yesterday, we always miss the re-runs. I’ve only watched it once right through, and another time with the sound down.

It’s fair to say it was a great experience, but a challenge whilst pregnant and a young baby. The front room has gradually evolved over the last 15 months, we’ve just waved goodbye to the old piano that was left behind. Making way for another piece of furniture on its second lease of life. We really wanted to incorporate features and furniture that acknowledged all the history that this house has lived through. But I know a lot people like a period house on the outside, but a modern house on the inside.

What’s your interior style, period features or minimal and modern, or a bit of both?
