The snug is Jo’s favourite room in the house. ‘it’s light and uplifting yet warm and cosy at the same time,’ she says. Jo created layers of soft cream with Farrow & ball’s biscuit paint on the walls, a cream sofa from barker and Stonehouse and a painted side table from bay Tree interiors. ‘i mix really modern things, like the stag’s head from notonthehighstreet, with more traditional furniture, like the leather sofa from next,’ says Jo.The crockery cupboard, displaying Jo’s collection, is from bentley design
Jo and Andy Weatherill felt completely at home from the moment they moved into their farmhouse near Harrogate. ‘It’s hardly surprising,’ says Jo. ‘We stayed here five years ago when it was run as a guest house, just to escape some building work at home. We loved it, but never imagined that one day we would be living here ourselves.’
