New home story for a young Bristol couple who loved travel and adventure.  Lucy admitted they had focused on travel rather than spending money on decor.  But now it was time for the builder's Magnolia to go as Lucy needed a speedy update on a budget.

 

The fireplace was the living room focal point and we removed the MDF surround, replacing with distressed wood wallpaper and a shelving unit with storage gives an illusion of depth and space and extra seating.  More space saving achieved with seating tucked underneath the dining bench until needed.  Lucy loved the natural, airy decor with travel photo memories and maps etc.
