Tell us a little (or a lot) about your home and the people who live there: We are a family of five; we love to stay home and tidy up around the house!

We also have a huge garden (140 feet long!) where we have planted fruit-bearing and ornamental trees.

It is a continuous work in progress, but we enjoy it nevertheless!

I am a professional pianist who loves to garden.

Describe your home’s style in 5 words or fewer: Botanical, airy, eclectic, relaxed, traditional.

What is your favorite room and why? The lounge (or living room), as it houses my beloved piano and my trees. I also have a lovely view of the gardens both front and back.

Any advice for creating a home you love? Just do it!
