During the Pandemic lockdown, UK illustrator and street artist Alex, decided to repaint “The Birdhouse,” her family home.
Alex has lived in this house for 15 years, and over the years has transformed it into the cozy and quirky home she, her husband, and toddler, have now.
“I am very lucky to have a very creative carpenter husband so we have crafted/painted and adulterated most items in this house!” Alex says.
Her biggest indulgence was a the orange sofa she bought new. “I like my spaces to provide a feast for the eyes, which never stops exploring; the more you look, the more you see.”
Wow, what a well-worn chair.
“I love spaces to be playful and full of character! It’s inspiring to walk into a room that explores a visual narrative and says a lot about the person/people inhabiting it.” I love this idea! And, look at the rag mop curtain rod!
She’s fond of the mural in the kitchen, especially now that she has a son who likes to pretend to feed the animals.
“I’m pretty proud of the Beano bathroom when I finished it as I had carefully cut out and chosen certain comic strips that would be on eye level when you sat on the toilet.” (The Beano is the longest running British children’s comic magazine.)
“Sometimes being uncool is the coolest thing you can be!,” says Alex. The bedroom wardrobe door is full of interesting objects (and was handmade by a friend).
Her biggest embarrassment is the plain spare bedroom.
Son’s room furnished from flea markets, car boot sales, drawing and painting on furniture!
