My Dublin House

My Dublin House
St. Mary's

Intro

This blog is about our journey restoring and renovating our 'new' very old house in Dublin and how my ideas are reflected and incorporated into the house design. It is not just about design, but how the house will work for us a family with 2 very lively boys and trying to update the house to 21st Century living without taking away the traditional features, charm and history.


Hopefully a happy marriage of Scandi and Irish design and lifestyle!


I hope you will enjoy the journey with me, and feel free to comment at any time or send me an email if you have any question.

Keys

We finally got the keys to our new home last Friday and we had an impromptu celebration picnic with friends in the garden. Can't quite believe we have this beautiful historical home with an amazing garden in a great location, never thought we would be so lucky to find anything this special.

This blog

I have decided to write a blog about our 'new' house in Dublin. I moved to Dublin with my family last August 2013 from 20+ years in London SW11.

We never thought that we would find such an exceptional house in an enviable location and let alone be able to buy it, but with help from the London housing market being on a continuous up, we were and now we are nearly there. After putting an offer on the house back in November we will be the proud owners of St. Mary's by the end of this week.

This blog will be a diary following the renovations of the house together with my ideas, everyday tasks and how my life with Scandinavian design and living incorporate the Irish.

I hope you will enjoy the journey with me, and feel free to comment at any time or send me an email if you have any question.
