For salvage and vintage furniture enthusiast Lisa Waldron, moving to Suffolk with her husband Tom and their five children presented her with the perfect opportunity to indulge her passion for interiors. The couple had left London in search of more space and a slower pace of life, both of which they found in abundance in their seven-bedroom Queen Anne home.<\/p>\n

Built in 1707, and expanded during the early Edwardian period, the house, with its period charm and sense of light and space, proved to be perfect for much of the reclaimed and vintage furniture and decorative items that she had already accumulated over many years.<\/p>\n

Lisa has painted the exterior woodwork of her Suffolk home in a pale sage green to complement the red brick. She has used two reclaimed zinc dolly tubs from local shop Vintage 49 as planters for the olive trees at the front door.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n

Lisa loves looking for one-off vintage pieces rather than buying new, preferring the character that comes with age. \u2018They all have a story to tell,\u2019 she says. \u2018It\u2019s important to me to reuse things where possible and I get a buzz from rescuing something that may otherwise have ended up in landfill.\u2019<\/p>\n

Lisa describes her style as \u2018eclectic\u2019 and says it is heavily influenced by time spent in Denmark and Sweden on holidays many years ago. This aesthetic has guided her through the creation of her home, which is decorated in warm neutral shades that provide a timeless backdrop for a stylish mix of vintage and antique pieces.<\/p>\n

Original period features blend with reclaimed pieces in the music room. Neutral walls provide the ideal backdrop for the colours and textures of wood, zinc and natural soft furnishings. A gilt mirror and old framed map add interest<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n

But for all its Scandi stylishness, the house is also incredibly practical, and Lisa has given just as much thought to what will help a household of seven run smoothly, as she has to the overall aesthetic. For example, she has used many of her vintage finds to create brilliant storage solutions.<\/p>\n
