Juliette Barrell, Marketing Director of Wesley-Barrell furniture, lives in Oxfordshire, England, in an open plan home she converted from one of the companyıs light industrial buildings. She spotted its potential when it was the upholstery frame workshop, but previous to that it was a brewery store and wool store. Determined to keep as much of the original fabric of the building as possible, she salvaged the original trap doors as cupboard doors and left timbers and brick exposed adjacent to new plaster. Today it is a home for herself, her husband Tim and their three young children. It has also become the perfect showcase for Wesley-Barrell furniture. writer - helenchislett@btinternet.com
