Surrey Homes | SH100 | May 2023 | Something To Celebrate Supplement inside

We both love bold colour
and pattern with an
unexpected twist, so had
great fun putting the
room schemes together

a job and cut into strips and painted
before fixing. We recovered the existing
sofa with a few amends on the way,
refashioning the left hand arm to make
it much more substantial and to provide
a ledge for a tray, and also added a
few flourishes like piping, buttoning
and our long luxurious tassel trim. We
found the mustard velvet upholstery
fabric online for a really good price.”
Cass and Di have been really
creative with their planning and space
saving solutions throughout Dixie.
“In the living space we have built
hidden storage into the back of the
fireplace – which was completely
refashioned – we took out the old gas
fire and installed a new tiled hearth
and new gas fire. We also incorporated
furniture with storage – repurposing
a bedside cabinet from Barker &
Stonehouse as a mini bar cabinet.”
The pair have been super imaginative
with the kitchen area too, using the
original carcasses, but taking out the
wall units and replacing the work
surface with a bespoke brass worktop.
Painting the door and drawer fronts,
replacing the handles and lining the
cupboards with leopard print selfadhesive
vinyl has totally transformed
the remaining units and a splashback
tiled with smart hexagonal
tiles from Porcelain Superstore add
the perfect finishing touch. And
now, hey presto, a standard caravan
kitchenette has been glam-styled
– and made completely unique.
The living space was just the start
