The best bits

+ Bunk bed “Raising the roof in our son’s bedroom allowed him to have a bunk bed,” say the owners. “That meant he could start inviting his friends for sleepovers.”

+ Calacatta marble “We ended up with more marble than we could have possibly imagined. It was expensive, but worth it.”

+ Renovating “It was a big surprise how much we enjoyed the process. We got such pleasure bringing our old, dark terrace to life.”
