Online extra: Inside Mary Kingston's home

For our Readers' Issue we asked you to guess which TV personality's home would feature in our My Style feature. We can now reveal that it was the home of none other than Mary Kingston!

A self-confessed clutter bug and interiors devotee, children’s author Mary Kingston’s happy home is a lived-in labour of love. In our September/ October 2011 issue we take a look inside Mary's home. You can check out the full My Style feature by picking up a copy of House and Home and heading to page 59 of the mag. In the meantime, here's some exclusive shots from her house.

We bought the phone in Zanzibar at an antiques shop. And it works. Apart from our mobiles this is our only other phone. I love the quaint sound of the ring it makes. But there’s no hash button or anything like that

The bird-print chair in the sitting room is from Strawbridge Country Furnishings in Mount Usher Gardens, Ashford, Co Wicklow.

Mary chose to paint the sash windows and door frames in the kitchen a rich green to bring a sense of the garden indoors. 

The French, country-style kitchen table was bought on eBay for €200. 

The couple knocked a wall between the bathroom and a small bedroom to make a larger washroom space suited to the antique-look fittings.
