Inside the August 2013 issue of Period Living magazine: Island Hall

The August 2013 issue of Period Living magazine is on sale Thursday 27 May. Pick up your copy at all good newsagents and supermarkets. Real homes – The restoration of an ancestral home focuses on Island Hall this month.

“The special thing about Island Hall is that almost everything has survived from the 18th century, which is unusual, as most houses are altered by every new generation,” Christopher explains. “However, my ancestors left it as it was, and I’ve been able to recreate the original colour schemes from when it was first built. We gently worked our way through the interior, acknowledging and respecting the house.”

Period Living is Britain’s best-selling period homes magazine. Each month it is packed full of beautiful real homes and gardens, inspiring decorating shoots, and original craft ideas, plus expert advice on all aspects of owning, maintaining and renovating a period property.

In addition, you’ll find ideas for buying antique, vintage and salvaged items, interior design insights, and stylish shopping treats – from furniture and kitchens, to fabrics, wallpapers and accessories.
