This page: The master bedroom is situated in the two
storey extension that Tim and Eve added to the house.
The oak frame was made by Paul Cresswell from Sackville
Oak Frames, taking around nine weeks to construct in his
Kentish workshop, but just three days to install on site
“I love the oak frame. Every
piece of it – and the double gable.
I didn’t want any of it covered
over, so it’s all exposed. And,”
Tim adds, “I feel vindicated
that it looks just right.”
explains Tim, “we just want to make the best use of
the space.” Oh, how I yearn to follow that maxim.
Descending from the stars back onto the
second floor, the other bedrooms are also
wallpapered; one in a charming Wisteria design
called Seraphina, which Eve was tempted to
use again in the second bedroom, but decided
on another lovely floral featuring birds and
peonies. They are both by Colefax & Fowler.
The curtains in these rooms are plain and
black-out lined, but both sport cute little pompoms
on their edges. All the curtains in the house
were made by the team at H V-J Interiors.
