Oh, what I wouldn't give to live in
Paul Massey's London Victorian Terrace house? I spied his airy digs on
Living Etc. and I instantly fell in love -- the collection of white Le Creuset pots alone was enough to set my heart a-thumping. Then when I read that Paul lived in a VW camper while he did the renovation, my heart just about broke. (Paul, I love your house and I think you're rad.)
Paul gutted this space to create the photo studio-like interior you see here, but there are several tricks to his style that you could copy with out a floor to ceiling renovation:

Country-style furnishings look fresh against and all-white background. Windows are left bare in the dining area, letting light stream into the space.

Paul's use of white, white and more white is what makes this space seem so dreamy and spacious. (His almost complete lack of clutter helps too.)

You'll notice Paul has a penchant for industrial style light fixtures -- these straightforward designs have been around for decades and aren't likely to go out of style any time soon.
The few accessories Paul does display are carefully chosen. Photo: Paul Massey
