It took eleven years and one very patient estate agent.
We have rented, saved, prayed and packed more boxes than we can count. Now there is a coral door with our name behind it, and it does not feel like home until you have walked through it.

Good to know
Should I bring a gift?
Your company is the gift. If you insist, there is a short wishlist below and plants are always welcome.
Can I bring the children?
Yes. The garden is safe for little ones and there will be games and snacks for them.
Are these photographs of the real family?
No. Everyone pictured is a fictional sample for this design, and the house is imagined.
