Jane's house is in 25 Beautiful Homes magazine this month!

A while ago the photographer Polly Eltes came to take photos of my home and the article is in this month's 25 Beautiful Homes magazine.

It is a lovely article because, though there was a lot of tidying (the house has never been as tidy before or after) they didn't try and play down what we have tried to do in creating our home.

There was no attempt to make it more chi-chi or glossy, the art propped about is mainly by my daughters, the furniture is mismatched but carefully chosen, everything means something to us.

It matters much more to me that our home feels welcoming, that it is a place where children and animals can run about without messing it up, than that it is perfect or up to the minute.

Which is probably just as well as I am neither neat nor fashionable.
