Figless Manor, 2011-2016

The House that Jane Built. A true labour of love, this beautiful hillside beach house was designed by Jane and her husband at the time, in a bid to create a “new, old house”. Every details was designed to create a house that looked, and felt, old, a house that welcomed everyone who came into it, that perfectly blended elegance and warmth.

Creaky Cottage, 2016-2021

A wonderful rambling 1930’s house that sits on a creek, Creaky Cottage was transformed from a standard blue house into a sightly ramshackle, beautiful farm, complete with cottage gardens, vegetable gardens, chickens and bees. She would have stayed there forever had she been able, and will miss this house for the rest of her life!

The Mouse House. 2007-2024

Jane bought The Mouse House as a rental investment, transforming it from a 1940’s raised Cape, to a charming beach cottage by changing the windows and raising the land in the front yard.

She moved in during the pandemic, and immediately made the house a home, adding the maximalist textures, wallpaper and fabric she loves, and most importantly, creating a true English garden, with just a hint of her beloved Marrakech.
