Belonging to the owners of Strandhill's Shells Cafe, this 1920s cottage is one of our favourite house tours from the pages of Image
Still one of our favourite homes ever, the easy-breezy interiors of Sligo's Shells Cafe owners, shot in 2014, have proved timeless., on the rugged Sligo coastline, fell in love with Cedar Rose, their modern and airy 1920s cottage, pretty much at first sight. Though it was damp, run-down and the object of the worst survey report ever written, the couple knew they had something special on their hands.
The sprawling living space spanning from the front to the back of the house is brought together by the impressive polished cement floors, a strong feature of the industrial look the couple favour in terms of style. “As well as preserving what we could of the original cottage, we were both really into industrial style and knew that would play a strong part in the design,” Jane says.
The collection of assorted seating around the large dining table includes family hand-me-downs and flea-market finds, while the bentwood chairs were salvaged from a local school in Dublin. “Our dining table, which is made out of the wood from an old basketball-court floor, is more than eight feet long, so everyone is welcome,” says Jane.
