PREVIOUS PROPERTY 'We lived in a one-bedroom flat in a different part of London before moving here,' says Abby.
KITCHEN
The couple made the door fronts by staining oak-veneered MDF, then bought the marble for the worktops from a stone yard. 'It's a great way to save money, while still getting a high-end look,' says Abby.
Mater bar stools, £822 each, Skandium. Hooked 3.0 Nude pendant lights in brass, £557 each, Buster + Punch. Try Living Concrete for microcement floors
