Whimsical and fun! Love the pink bathroom--they are becoming a rarity even here in The States. The architectual details really pop in your house. Speaking of that, what is the reason/rationale for the gap under the bookshelves next to the fireplace? For radiators, or some other storage? I ask because I lived in a house in Bath that had sinks in those fireside niches (probably as a convenience for boarders back in the early 1900s). Just an interesting detail...

Lovely! Did I overlook what year the house was built?  We’re restoring an 1890 Victorian home, and I am consumed with envy of your ceiling moldings... ours are long-gone… and were almost certainly never as fancy as yours.

We’re gearing up for our kitchen remodel too… a project I have been dreading since we moved in.

So utterly charming! I lived near Manchester (Macclesfield) for 15 years, so I have a soft spot for that part of the country. I love that you were bold enough to install a pink/peach bath when others can't wait to get rid of theirs. And it looks perfect, especially the Art Deco mirror.

I used to live in Hull, and I'm tickled that it is the source for your fabulous pink bathroom suite! Your home improvement road trip reminds me of a joke: A man is driving into Hull for [tools, pink bathroom suites, whatever DIY] and he pulls over to ask a pedestrian for help. "Excuse me, but is there a B&Q in Hull?" The pedestrian: "No, but there are two Ls."

*rim shot*

I love vintage bathrooms (mine is toothpaste green, lol) but I'm not sure I would have gone with that pink. that is not gonna be great for the resale.
Other than that this house is fabulous. That tile on the fireplace is beautiful.

This is the kind of house where you won't get yelled out for spilling your drink or tracking dirt in. Very fun.

But don't they know they're supposed to hate bathrooms that aren't white? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM?

Seriously though, such a gorgeous, happy place. I'll take a colorful, vibrant house over a tasteful, muted, 50-shades-of-blah one any day. Especially in places where there aren't a ton of naturally occurring brights. Whenever I see someone around here (Seattle) painting something gray, I'm like, "Really? More gray? We don't get enough of that already?"

So nice to see a couple embracing the disappearing pink bathroom! I wrote an article on them here:

There's so much history behind them that I never even knew! :)

Love it - what a fun house!

Love the pink bathroom. Well done!

Love the bathroom!

I love it. Beautiful

I love this tour.

Beautiful and great fun! I'm a little worried about poor Nick, though. Does he have to use the loo at the end of the garden? ;-)

A wonderful house, full of lovely objects arranged in a witty fashion. Aesthetically pleasing textiles and colours are put together with a level of stylish detail that would be difficult to emulate and in a way that complements the period features of their house. Sophie and Nick must be an extremely stylish couple.

What a great place - would have loved to have seen the outside.

All the color inside - just fantastic - the fireplaces, the wallpaper, the fab bathroom, the bright, unique kids rooms. I do wonder about all the plants in terra cotta with terra cotta saucers underneath - doesn't the water leak out or stain? I love how they look but am always worried about our plants staining whatever they rest on...

Thanks for sharing!

A collection of second-hand sinks...love it.

I tend to do the same – unable to resist a stylish vintage lamp – also have way too many in the furnace room.

Very cute house! Great colors and that fab pink bathroom....swoon! Love how the cat managed to get into a few photos too!

Someone above called this house "jolly." I'll drink to that. Your girls are so lucky to grow up with this color, whimsy, and respect for the past. Love the maps, the graphics, the cool bookshelves, the patchwork wallpaper, and the yellow woodwork. In spite of their fun and games, the main rooms look sophisticated rather than juvenile. The grey and white scheme perfectly tempers the pink bathroom fixtures. And the peek I got at the kitchen is nothing to be embarrassed about. Don't walk about in bare feet, though. I had beautiful floors like that once — and a phenomenal number of splinters.

Love it! This is a home rather than a house. Just wonderful

This is absolutely my favorite tour so far. I really love everything about it....the lightness and playfulness, the maps, the humor, the signs, the plants (lovely birds of paradise blooms), the wallpaper. And yet, the spirit of the history of the house was kept. It's perfectly balanced and I'm incredibly jealous!!

love how the bathroom dome light fixture echoes the window curve.... fabulous home! .... the reason I fell in love with Apartment Therapy

I love the feel of this home. Very charming.

I love your space. The bathroom, yellow cabinet in the kitchen and stair runner are my favorite parts.

FANTASTIC bones in this loverly old home. The moldings on the ceiling and baseboards are to swoon over. Painting over them is an instant fix to chipping paint and staining from previous owners. How grand it would be to strip ALL the paint off to expose the marvelous wood grain which could be centuries old. A labor of love for sure!!

The decor is cheery and playful! Maybe switch out the striped rug on the stairs to a carpet runner colour matching the delightful green on the British Isles map in the hallway.

fun place!!! I love the colorful stairs and the bathroom -I have a pink bathroom myself!!!-, those plants are in the right place!!

Wish I had my yellow bathroom (from many years ago) back - the pink looks fabulous.I love the cat. The quilted bedroom wall is a fantastic idea. Love to see your kitchen when you do it. How do you heat this home? I guess in years gone bye the fireplaces were functional all though the house. Lovely job folks.

Fab house. Don't ever sell it to anyone who wants to take out the bathroom. Seriously. It would be criminal.

Do you have a TV in that cabinet in the living room? I get a little sceptical about the number of tours I see on here where there's no TV - I like seeing how people actually live in their spaces. I refuse to believe that nobody has a TV anymore.

I'm wondering who are featured in the cricket prints? And where is the plastic lobster from? Also, is that one cat? Or several? I'm not sure all those cats are the same cat...

fresh and clean, warm house.

I love your bathroom ....so warm and pink!
I too have William Morris wallpaper in my library next to the living room . It doesn't quite go with the living room paint, but I can't give up the paper.

BAM!!! Now it hit me... I have been thinking of what to use in order to decorate my walls, and didn't want run of the mill pictures that I couldn't relate to. Now I know what I really want. I will definitely use an old (vintage?) map of my home town or Brooklyn and Paris(I love....who doesn't?) and Rome! I just love the old days and it's remnants and stories. Makes me nostalgic, as if I was born during that time. Thanks!
Any more ideas appreciated.

Cheery fresh, clean, colorful and welcomed house.
Great ideas of re-model apartment.
I really love the idea of bathroom decoration. A Little things change a lots.

Nice bathroom, great art and map collection. I like the use of color and as others have mentioned a cheerful look. It obviously works for this family but wouldn't suit me personally, I would feel self conscious having a glass of wine in any room other than the bathroom because they all feel sorta like a kid's room. But I could totally enjoy a bubble bath and cool glass of chablis in that tub!

Wow - I love Apartment Therapy and browse lots of interiors online - but this is the most inspirational I've seen in a long time. Love the use of colour and the character of the whole house. This family has brilliant taste and that bathroom suite is just beautiful. Thank you for featuring, think I will keep coming back to browse this one!!
