‘It’s our space HANDMADE HELPER
‘I made the pipe shelf myself, having taken the idea from Pinterest. It’s stylish and practical’
COME ON IN!
ABOUT ME ‘I’m Sarah Giubilini, 37, a theatre costume maker. I live with my two children, Freda, nine, and Ethan, six, in a 1927 three-bed, mid-terrace house in southeast London. I moved here in 2012.’ THE CHALLENGE ‘Downstairs was a warren of dark, small rooms. The bathroom and kitchen were tiny and the dining room and living room both felt like tunnels with only one light source in each.’ MY WISH LIST ‘I wanted to open up the whole of our ground floor and create an open living space, giving it a better flow from room to room to eat, socialise and relax.’

OPEN-PLAN LIVING
‘Since creating the space at the back of the house, we spend much more time together as a family’
