Jayne Dowle

Jayne Dowle lives in South Yorkshire in 1920s house she renovated, with her two children, a three-legged cat and a Staffie rescue dog. She spends most of her free time either working on DIY projects, messing about in the garden or scouring antiques shops, car boot sales and flea markets for treasures. Her personal interiors style is eclectic, combining boho English country house with ideas she picks up on her travels; Morocco is her favourite style influence right now.
