Steal This Look: Compact Living in an Ancient Georgian Terrace in Bath
Of the three rental flats in Bath, England from designer and property developer Tina Liu, the newest flat, called The Aspiring Cook, is a historic Georgian terrace house restored with 18th century English cookery writer Hannah Glasse as design inspiration. The small ground-level flat is designed with a central kitchen/living/dining space done in bright ochre walls and traditional-meets-meets furnishing. To recreate the look we’ve outlined a list of similar sources from furniture to tableware and more.
