With shutters painted a lovely duck-egg blue and climbing vines framing the external windows, this house is perhaps more reminiscent of the French countryside than a traditional London mews. Originally a stable, it was converted with sensitivity and attention to the original character.
Finally, a conversion that wasn’t bastardized to look so modern, it’s unrecognizable. If I’m in the market for a former historic stable, I want it to look like a former stable.
They gave it wonderful pops of color like the turquoise wall and red lamps.
The kitchen is modern but is still reminiscent of an old country farmhouse. For a backsplash, they just painted the exposed brick white.
All of the original beams are still in place. The owner commissioned a metalworker and carpenter to do the stairs and upper levels. I love the wall of storage.
They’ve incorporated some midcentury modern pieces against the turquoise wall.
To brighten the old brick walls, a whitewash was chosen.
They left the center of the structure open, so that the first floor can be seen from the mezzanine and catwalk.
The owners also have a a small study on this level, for working from home.
There is a bedroom in each direction found in the eaves at each end of the house.
This appears to be some sort of a pulley system for conveying things from one side to the other.
Compact bedroom with a newly installed skylight for natural sunlight.
Love the bathroom- they chose a modern floor tile that ties in beautifully.
In the back is a lovely private courtyard.
