Wham! Bam! Retro glam. A stunning house and an interior curated with passion and a dash of fun. The home of Renee Coleman of The Collector Design. Very cool!

OK. I know. It’s another old terrace house with a modern extension and an open plan kitchen living area. It’s modern architecture not only added on but it has seemingly insinuated itself through the house’s  old bones.
