About me

i’m Lisa marvin, 46, a self-employed bid writer (@blue_ piccadilly). i live with my husband mark, 47, a property developer, and our border terrier Dexter.

my home

A three-bedroom thirties semi in exeter, Devon. We moved here in 2004.

When We moved in

the house needed complete refurbishment. the kitchen was tiny and the bathroom suite looked like it had been there since the thirties!

And now

We’ve modernised right through, putting in a new bathroom and kitchen. i change things often, but there’s always plenty of colour.

Style tip

test before you invest! A colour can change in different light, so hang samples painted on lining paper around the room.
