Home and Store in England

A journey of three and a half hours by car from London takes us to Mark and Sally Bailey's White Cross Farm, an old farm from 1764 in which they combine dwelling and store. Their home is an unlikely mix of old and worn with new life. It is difficult to determine where the store ends and home begins.












Have a great Saturday, my friends! And stop by tomorrow!

The original fireplace was knocked through to install a double-sided log burner to benefit both sitting rooms.

By the way, for those of you who've asked, I will certainly be posting more Christmas inspired interiors but you might want to see some previous posts with many lovely ideas.

Apartment in England

Having a good Saturday, my friends? I went out rowing in a canoe for about half an hour with my hubby and son and three other people. It was quite foggy but the sea was calm so it turned out to be quite enjoyable.

On to our tour, then!

Interior designer Alexis Wylie helped her mother Ro decorate her new home when she became a widow. She used to live in South Africa but wanted to be near her daughter and grandchildren so she purchased this 2,000 square feet apartment in England. If you'd like to read the whole story of how they went about doing each room just go here.
