> Our house in Ideal Home magazine



In June, Nicola Wilkes and Holly Jolliffe came to shoot our house for the November 2011 issue of Ideal Home magazine.

We bought our two hundred year old old cottage, located in a small village overlooking the Blenheim Palace estate, as a quick renovation project to be sold and then move onto the next property. But, we fell in love with it, and the village and the wonderful people here. Then I got pregnant and we discovered the fantastic school... and here we remain!

The house is always evolving and we are about to start re-working the kitchen, bathroom and the exterior of the house - none of these have had much attention, except for a quick lick of paint since the initial renovation. Planning a more industrial kitchen (maybe featuring another of our wallpapers), a chic bathroom with freestanding bath and wall hung basin and loo.  Our bedroom is also about to go 'grey' - in love with Farrow and Ball's Downpipe grey at the moment! Oh, and our daughter has outgrown her room and is moving to a larger one! All of this gets me very excited - absolutely nothing better than designing interiors!

Thanks to Ideal Home, Nicola and Holly.
