It's a victorian conversion flat, with a bright red front door. I fell in love as soon as I saw it.
The boy and his best friend jim ripped up the carpet in the living room to sand and varnish the floorboards. It was a super hot day and they emerged at the end of it tired and sweaty and coated in a very thick layer of orange sawdust.
You can find sideboards like ours for about £40 on eBay, but it helps to be able to collect them. I sanded it down, revarnished the top and painted the sides and doors to give it more of a vintage modern feel.
