Two of Pauline and Bill\u2019s four lovely daughters run the successful <a href=\"http:\/\/secretlinenstore.com\">Secret Linen Store<\/a> \u2013 you\u2019ll see some of their blue bedding in a shot on page 48 of the current issue.<\/p>\n<p>During the renovation, the Freshwaters found Chichester-based store <a href=\"http:\/\/wintersmoon.co.uk\">Winter\u2019s Moon<\/a> the ideal place to buy items of furniture for their mid-century inspired home, including the sofa, coffee table and one of the yellow chairs you can spot in the above shots.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been an absolute pleasure to cross paths with the Freshwaters and to meet their girls \u2013 such a warm, friendly family with a real sense of style, individuality and fun.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like your own home to be featured in one of the glossy magazines I write for, do get in touch.
