INSIDE STORY

THERESE & DEREK’S HOME

Who lives here?

Therese, a marketing consultant and owner of shopon. social; her husband, Derek, who works in technology; their sons, William, 14, and Luke, 12; and Ruby the fox terrier. How would you describe your style? Therese: “I would say it’s a bit New York, a bit Cape Cod and a splash of Jonathan Adler.” Is Derek as obsessed with US style as you? “We have very similar tastes. You don’t know that when you get married. You don’t ask – ‘What are your design tastes?’ He’s got very strong opinions, but luckily most of our opinions are the same!” What was the biggest lesson that you learnt throughout the build? “Trusting my design taste, but then getting an interior designer in to work with to get exactly what I wanted, and to make the different styles work together.”
