Artist, Corinne Corbett-Thompson, knew at once this spacious 1930’s house with a large attic space, was the perfect place to make a home and an artist studio.

Eleven years (and quite alot of remodelling!) this house boasts a kingdom of light, space and colour as well as a sea of paintings and ceramics, stacked and hung on every surface.

Corinne says that “life is so short and precious, and our planet so beautiful and fragile, I just don’t want to waste a moment.” And her house is a vibrant and colourful testament to exactly this. 🫶
