Period House in Suffolk

Something a bit different today, my friends. Located in Suffolk, England, this manor house was built in the late 1400s. When Caroline and Russell McCleave bought it five years ago they did not have to tackle any major renovations, they just had to furnish and decorate it in their own taste.

Renovated Townhouse in England

This 16th-century house in Essex was renovated by Elizabeth Lloyd-Day and her husband Carl and won the Best Townhouse category in Period Living Readers’ Awards 2010.
I have posted nearly 500 house tours on Inspiring Interiors but this is the first time I've seen an all pink kitchen. Quite unusual but I think it looks pretty, feminine and romantic. However, I can't imagine my husband and 5 sons feeling comfortable in it! Would you paint your kitchen pink? I'd love to know what you think!

Restored Home in Ireland

This restored early 1700s thatched stone cottage is located in County Louth, Ireland, where Australian Sonja Bergin and her Irish husband Kevin decided to settle down. Their restoration earned their home Best Period Renovation in the Readers’ Awards 2011.

The article on the renovation process is quite interesting. Most of it was done by the owners but for the roof they needed a master thatcher. Kevin says that he found nearly two tons of junk in the old thatch!

You can read the interview with the owners on the renovation process here.
