Along with partner Brian, they have converted an old boarding school into a dreamy residence and what caught our eye was the really innovative way they used our Land of Milk and Honey mural in the bedroom.Ā 

Ā 

We spoke to Michael about the completed project. And here’s what he had to say.Ā 

Ā 

1. What did you want to achieve with your renovation?

Ā 

To bring the soul back to the property which was originally built as a boarding school and had been split into three flats in recent years - removing every original feature. Ā 

Ā 

Ā 

2. Can you explain your signature home style?

Eclectic - our belongings haven’t been bought over one weekend at a retail park. They have been purchased, found, passed down to us over many years. To many people this might make them look mismatched but to me it creates warmth and a home of memories. Ā 

Ā 

Ā 

3. What inspired you to pick Land of Milk and Honey? What attracted you to it?Ā 

I was trying to stay away from grey rooms but as soon as I saw this I thought we could at least have one! The mural is perfect for the space and creates two inter vistas in what could otherwise be a flat and cold space.Ā 

Ā 

Ā 

4. How does the finished room make you feel?

Calm - it feels traditional and yet modern at the same time. I love the way the light through the 2.4m windows hits the wallpaper at different times of the day.Ā 

Ā 

Ā 

5. How does the wallcovering work with your existing interiors?Ā 

If fits in perfectly - the whole place was restored and redecorated over a 14-month period and I wanted each room to have its own personality. The wallpaper defo helps it to.Ā 

Ā 

Ā 

6. What should no home be without – and why?

Memories - in every room of our home we have furniture, paintings, photos or ornaments that represent moments of our life together. Ā 

Ā 

Ā 

7. What’s your favourite month and why?

December obviously - we love to entertain and we built the house around Christmas - strategically installing plugs sockets (inside and outside) for Christmas decorations!

Ā 

Ā 

8. What’s your favourite colour and why?

I didn’t think I had one but throughout the house we’ve added pink touches which subconsciously bring the rooms together. It might be pink cushions in the very navy blue den or a pink fireplace in the creamy drawing room - little touches.Ā 

Ā 

Ā 

9. Favourite flower – and why?

Peony (light pink obvs). The smell and the pretty layers of petals are beautiful.Ā 

Ā 

Ā 

10. Finally, name three Woodchip & Magnolia products that you love and tell us why?Ā 

Ā 

Defo need to find a space in our next house for Nirvana - just love it!

Ā 

I’m very tempted to wallpaper a ceiling (just don’t tell the husband) with a moody flower pattern and I think Ava Marika could be perfect. Ā 

Ā 

Obviously Milk and Honey is perfect - next time I might try the butterfly version!Ā
