That’s it. Similarly furs, skins, antlers, euro mounts etc done with a modern aesthetic can be incorporated. Goes well with weathered timber, stone, iron etc. Usually a lot of white or pastels like in those pics for a real clean modern look.

Ive seen mounted heads look good but the euro mount looks better imo. I think it’s be quite easy to make some taxidermy song birds fit in well though.

Feck me I’d have that place ruined in a week, wouldn’t be able to touch feck all or walk anywhere without leaving a mess, that’s not a home it’s a shrine to look at me

I’ve rebuilt engines axles and wheel hubs at my dining table just couldn’t see that place taking to much of me, to many it’s a dream home but I like practicality in everything I do, if I had ceilings that high I’d get another floor in and rent it to midgets, everything in my life is based on time and money and something like that costs to much of both and returns very little

Id like to spend a hour in those rooms looking around and seing how comfy the seats are but the moment someone told to watch out leaving any mud behind it would be me gone

As Down south says a home is either modern or its not....when walking through your own house feels like walking through different time zones im with the ol woman all day long.....and after all women do this sort of shit much better than men.... i mean if i had my way id have claret and blue walls throughout but i just leave it to her....my motto is anythings better than battleship  grey

Nothing like a snug turf fire I also burn wood and coal but something about a turf  oh yes and of course a few glasses a irish whiskey no more would a man desire . That's when I'm in my element anyway

I wouldnt want my grandkids left alone in there for 10 mins with a colouring book and pens

You are forgetting the wet dog smears on the paintwork. Could call the smears modern art maybe.

The mutt quite likes an open fire as well.

I speak to people that spend around £500 a year on logs, this lot cost around £300 and is all a man needs to keep warm and dry has done for me for years just taking it to my boat for the next couple of years of free heat

Part of the charm of it is self sufficiency. Much the same as fieldsports. But for folks who can earn 500 quid a day doing whatever it is they do I understand why they would rather use their time more economically.

Just back been and opened up the boat and moved some clobber and personal effects on board also got the fire going with two eco fans on, lovely jjubbly and when I went in to put a few bits in the engine room I only found a folding Brompton pushbike in a bag all folded away in the corner double sweet
