This beautiful 18th century Limerick home was once a house of two halves, now lovingly rejoined by designer Brenda Murray and her architect husband Hugh. Check out these extra shots - and read the full feature by picking up a copy of the July / August issue of House and Home and heading to page 61.
Words: Anna Shelswell-White
We wanted to keep the character of the old house in a way that could still incorporate our own styles - says Brenda
The two large couches in Brenda’s sitting room are by Flexform and the rug was bought at Nordic Living, the Scandanavian interiors shop in Blackrock, Dublin.
Working with material has made its decorative mark on Brenda’s home. Her own designs include the cushion and chair-covers as well as her rugs.
It’s difficult, dismantling the materials, cutting them, overlapping them, sewing them, sewing the strips together and backing them, but it’s very rewarding
The kitchen was designed by the Murrays themselves and was produced by InHouse in Dublin.
Engineered oak flooring, by Sean O’Rourke from Donegal, is laid throughout the house - with the exception of the master bedroom, which has lighter ash flooring.
