To help with the challenge, the couple\u00a0enlisted architectural reclamation and design company, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.retrouvius.com\">Retrouvius<\/a>, to create the\u00a0quirky, colourful family home that they longed for.<\/p>\n<p>Maeve explains: &#8220;Retrouvius has a wonderful knack of discovering odd but beautiful things and giving them a new lease of life in an entirely different environment. They delivered spot on, every time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like your own home featured in one of the glossy national magazines I write for, drop a line to mail@janetmcmeekin.co.uk or call me on 01243 792379.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photographs above, courtesy of Andreas von Einsiedel<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>What Became of You, My Love?
