It's what dreams are made of and nightmares kindled: Most home owners aspire to it; some take a few tentative steps and fewer still are crazy enough to go the full hog! This blog shares some of the trials and tribulations of a major redevelopment of a 1950s home through a cataclysmic transformation which retains the best of the last Century while metamorposing the property into a design classic fit for today's living.
The installation of the fireplace started today and the first trial-burn has already been completed. There are a few more soapstone panels still to be fitted and another to receive a quick polish to remove a small scratch, but the kit already looks great in the lounge. For the first time, it feels as though this new room finally has a “soul”.
