So fun! and very cool. Stupid photography however, dumb vignettes of items clearly seen in whole-room shots.

Minimalism is wrong, in fact it's horrid. Cosy (as we spell it down in my neck of the woods) is better, but still very staged. I lean towards cosy but not this example.

charmgirl, I live in New Zealand and those rugs are readily available at many retailers, including our local building supplies shop! We have the exact same one, and the ABC one. I don't think they are particularly exclusive anymore. :)

This is not "French" it's simply in France. I was so excited, and then so disappointed, it's a boring stark box., Was hoping for some real French style.

the first sentence makes no sense....

"Francis and RJ live the loft life, but that doesn't mean they don't like to stay at home on a Saturday night, take it easy, and play with their dogs."

since when did living in a loft exclude staying home or playing with dogs?

Agree with Erikakn, best photos by AT for a long time. Got a real sense of the layout for a change. I love everything downstairs, I feel that the girls' bedrooms look bare, but maybe they are are not collectors like my own crazy daughters!

Sorry, I know you're all thinking it, I'm just gonna come out and say it - Ross is a boys' name. No way around that fact. Hopefully it's a typo, and she's really called Rose...???

Absolutely exquisite. Can you answer a couple of questions?
1. do the mirrors and plates survive in the elements outside, or are they always covered by the awning? I want to do this but we have no shelter to speak of.
2. Can we be friends? :)

Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home.

(Also AT I think you mean John Lewis is the employer? Peter Jones is in Australia.)

It looks like a kitchen Krystle Carrington would like. Power to you if that's your style!!!

Perhaps it would have been more helpful/interesting/relevant to have the post written by someone who DOES actually like having things around them? Then we could have read some real advice from someone trying to keep it to a minimum. A minimalist really cannot relate!

Good for him, if this is his escape, and relaxes him. But like some other posters, I don't agree that a lot of it has been 'thoughtfully packed into this practical dwelling'. The wires are a mess, and it's a weirdly set out place in my view. He is cute tho, looks a lot like my husband, who luckily for him and me gave up smoking a long time ago (like any normal person). oooooh judgemental!

Your cats are the most gorgeous I have seen for a long time! (I hope my own two cats are not reading this). Beautiful house, I love the pink bedroom in particular, very similar to my own daugther's room. I used to live in SW Londres and miss it terribly. Thank you for sharing!

World's largest laundry! I love it. I love that you painted the floor, it looks fantastic. I have a concrete floor in my new laundry and might just paint it white after seeing yours. Thanks for sharing!
