There's a particular kind of magic in an older home - the wonky floors, the deep window reveals, the timber that's settled into something no new build can imitate. 🏡

But that character is fragile. It rarely disappears in one dramatic mistake - more often it's lost through a run of small, well-meant decisions.

Our latest blog covers how to modernise a period home without losing what makes it special: repairing before replacing, choosing honest materials, and hiding modern comfort where it can't be seen.

Throwback to Chateau charm 🏰 Taking a look back at our inspiring collaboration with Dick and Angel Strawbridge at Chateau de la Motte Husson - where thoughtful design, heritage materials and a shared passion for restoration came together beautifully.

From the characterful Hidcote Paving outside the chateau to the striking Old Provence Petit Lozenge & Charcoal Tiles in the restored folly, every detail was chosen to feel authentic, timeless and perfectly at home.

The Yorkstone pathway through the walled garden completes the story, creating a natural flow between the folly, seating areas and planting. As Dick and Angel remind us, the best gardens evolve over time - and the right paving only becomes more beautiful as it settles into its surroundings.

A timeless look, a treasured family project and plenty of garden inspiration to revisit.

From family greenhouse to boutique B&B: Sophie and Geoff’s Jersey retreat began with a much-loved wooden greenhouse, built by Sophie’s father 30 years ago. When it was damaged beyond repair, they faced a choice: rebuild in kind or create something lasting.

Choosing craftsmanship over compromise, they installed an Alitex Victorian greenhouse - and transformed the adjoining barn into Gardener’s Rest, a unique guest experience where growing, hospitality, and design meet.

Underfoot, our Antique Honey Cathedral limestone ties the spaces together: warm, mellow tones and a softly tumbled finish that feel as inviting in the greenhouse as they do in the guest quarters.

A journey from storm damage to a thriving small business - proof that the right foundations can change everything.
