It’s Monday which means it’s time to covet thy neighbour’s house (one of my all-time favourite activities)! It’s really hard to believe that this grand Victorian house in south west Scotland, once boasted an avocado bathroom suite, bright red carpets and horrid orange varnish on all the woodwork. After a major renovation project (costing just under £100,000), the owners have managed to inject so much light, character and warmth into each room. My favourite feature has got to be the low hanging pendants which create cosy, intimate areas. I also really love the little breakfast nook complete with original servants’ bells which they found hidden under layers of paint and badly stained tongue-and-groove panelling!

Oh my, what a beautiful home! The traditional I like, uncluttered, beautifully decorated, making you feel at home. The image with the desk by the window is my favourite. xo
