Having recently retrained as an interior designer this homeowner bought her own property off a design plan, which gave her the option to choose her own finishes and to rearrange some of the internal structure before the property was built. The ice-blue kitchen features interesting materials such as Pyrolave, the enamel and volcanic stonework surface, as well as etched opaque glass. The son’s bedroom is small but is generously kitted out with storage for clothes and toys. Writer vinnylee@btinternet.com
