This modest 1940s home was in need of love but also brimming with character, so we set about breathing new life into it whilst retaining lots of original features. With new floors, painting, lighting and a much needed kitchen renovation, the finishing touches were added with new furniture and complemented by a collection of lovingly restored existing pieces. In my beautiful client’s words: “Jo took my very tired, well-loved, mismatched house and transformed it into an oasis of style, all without losing the character and memories of the old girl”. I have such fondness for this home, and it's rewarding to see it in all its renewed glory!
