Everywhere you look there are fabrics: a huge French tapestry above the sofa and a mix of utility materials, such as striped ticking, old gingham and cheerful polka dots, as well as an assortment of faded florals. There is no obvious colour scheme. </font></p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”><font style=”font-size:1.2em”>‘I don’t think about colour. I just let it happen. It’s easier with old fabrics – the ageing makes them more compatible with each other,’ explains Sam.</font></p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”><font style=”font-size:1.2em”>Everything in the house, apart from the sofa in the living room, was sourced from flea markets, auctions or antique and thrift shops. </font></p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”><font style=”font-size:1.2em”>‘I love old, particularly odd, things because they have a history.

The large twig above the table is decorated seasonally throughout the year. The hallway, just seen, is painted in a dusky mauve, a colour Sam mixed herself. For a similar shade try Pride & Joy’s emulsion in 8633 (<font style=”font-size:1.2em”>Throughout the house, along shelves and mantelpieces there are rows of found treasures and Sam’s exquisite handmade fairy dolls – wonderfully bohemian creatures dressed in clothes made from vintage fabrics.
