apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

The house is one in a collection of modern summer homes in Suffolk, England. When its last owner, a ninety-year-old woman who had lived there for 30 years, moved out, fashion designer Margaret Howell moved in. The home's story, along with a great slideshow, is archived in the House & Home section of The Independent.

We love the contrasting kitchen cabinetry, the open timber beams, and all that vintage furniture (some of it purchased by Howell from the previous owner). Photos: Andrew Hayes-Watkins
