him fit a sturdy and stylish new<br />
front door to the property. So, when<br />
it came to their latest and most<br />
ambitious project, to replace their<br />
plastic-framed garden room with a<br />
new oak framed extension, then he<br />
was the obvious choice.<br />
They have been delighted with<br />
the result, which provides a light<br />
and airy morning room, with large<br />
windows looking out over the<br />
countryside. This room has been<br />
made open plan to the kitchen by<br />
knocking down a wall and putting<br />
in two new oak support beams. It<br />
now accommodates the couple’s<br />
kitchen table and David has built<br />
a sofa along one wall, made from<br />
wooden pallets, which, scattered<br />
with cushions and throws, makes<br />
the ideal place to sit and gaze at the<br />
garden.<br />
Above the morning room there is<br />
also David’s new office, accessed by a spiral staircase found on eBay. Stylish scavengers<br />
both, David and Moira have also found and upcycled many a piece of furniture. These<br />
include the pine kitchen table and an old church pew which David painted and which<br />
now sits in the space under the new wooden staircase in the living room.<br />
The improvements to this property have also continued upstairs, where there are<br />
now two new bathrooms, serving the three bedrooms. Meanwhile, outside, David<br />
has also been busy, building a beautifully crafted garden shed alongside the existing<br />
outbuildings. And so it goes on….<br />
Favourite things<br />
In winter, the couple love<br />
to snuggle up in front of<br />
the wood burner in the<br />
cosy living room.<br />
