Read the room: A home refresh with antique brio

Early in my career, I realised that some people do deserve the charming houses they live in. Even if it pains me to admit it, even though every part of me becomes green with envy, sometimes you have to be envious of the house rather than of the owners. In the case of Tina Pasco’s home in Deal, I am incredibly jealous of the house for landing an owner such as Tina. There aren’t many people similar to her. People who can see through the shoddy wallpaper, cramped rooms and pine kitchens (I have seen the original photos, you wouldn’t believe the transformation) and return the house to its former majestic glory.
