Lieset and André Kemink’s Cotswold farmhouse has been lovingly renovated into a family home — it is the overall winner of the Readers’ Home Awards and the Best Country House Restoration
The Prize
Our overall winner will win £1,250 worth of vouchers to spend at Kingdom Interiors, which offers one of the widest online ranges of wallpapers and fabrics in the UK. It also has an extensive collection of furniture, curtain poles, cushions and accessories, from lighting to bedlinen.
The Judges
From a shortlist of entries, our panel of judges will choose five winning homes. All five will be photographed and showcased in the January 2016 Readers’ Homes Awards issue of Period Living.
Judging will be conducted by Period Living Editor Rachel Watson, Editor-in-Chief Michael Holmes, and guest judge Vanessa Arbuthnott (www.vanessaarbuthnott.co.uk). Vanessa is a textile designer who started her business from her kitchen table 14 years ago, and has since created many charming fabric collections inspired by a passion for the countryside and organic shapes.
