See inside Anwen's modern country cottage

Anwen chose a striking yellow and duck egg patterned wallpaper to give the dining room of her 500-year-old cottage a modern look. The two pendants, hung low above the dining table, are ideal for creating atmosphere, while mismatched dining chairs add to the eclectic vibe.
