Home Tour… a charming & characterful Victorian home in Edinburgh

It’s been a while since I last featured a home tour on here, but this one is definitely worth the wait! I’ve followed this home owner for about a year now on Instagram, having instantly been drawn to her considered, yet rustic style home set in the beautiful city of Edinburgh. A bright and light interior punctuated with rich earthy tones and carefully curated vintage finds throughout, it’s no surprise that its owner, Siobhan, has amassed a huge Instagram following in a short period of time on her account @home_stead.

I had the pleasure of meeting Siobhan in person whilst on a family trip to Edinburgh last autumn and honestly, I think we could have chatted all day about everything interiors related! Having hailed from the north-west of Ireland, she and her husband Rory relocated to the Scottish capital just over eight years ago and bought their first home together two years ago.. it’s now a beautiful family home for them and their two little daughters, Úna and Nora. It’s truly amazing how far they’ve come in restoring this Victorian mid terrace to its former glory!

At home with… Laura Jayne of The Homely Haven

I’ve been really excited about this latest blog venture. Having wanted to do a home tour series for a while now, I’m finally kicking it off and I have some gorgeous properties lined up to share with you over the coming months. I always feel really inspired hearing other home owners’ decor stories and seeing what they’ve achieved and I hope that you will, too!

First up, we have a visit to a lovely family home set within the picturesque County Down countryside. It’s the home of Laura Jayne, who lives here with her husband and two sons, aged 12 & 13.

Laura Jayne and her husband built their modern home just three years ago and designed every aspect of it themselves. As well as being a typically busy family home, Laura Jayne also runs her home, floral and eco living workshops from the house (you can find out more about these at www.thehomleyhaven.com).
