It seems a long time ago that photographer Simon Whitmore & stylist Sally Denning from Ideal Home Magazine spent the day here – so much has happened since!!

The October 2012 Ideal Home magazine dropped through the letter box this morning – there’s a lovely article with lots of images and an interview by Joanna Simmons. We talk about the alterations we made to the house, the features we like and its eclectic contents. It’s certainly nice to see what the place looked like pre-flood!

In our last post we mentioned this week’s photoshoot of our home.

Photographer, Simon Whitmore and stylist, Sally Denning arrived on Wednesday morning laden down with loads of equipment – cameras, lenses, lights, light reflectors, computers – all essential kit to produce glossy magazine-quality images.

There were hours of arranging, discussing and reviewing images. Our blog photos take us quite a bit of time, but this is a different world!

The house feature is for Ideal Home Magazine and will be published sometime in the Autumn.
