Moving into South Oxhey

orange boxes covered in curtains
By Joan Manning

When they built the house they put gas boilers in one road and electric in the other to keep the suppliers happy.

They gave you a welcome box from Braziers when you moved in.

We painted the middle of the stairs to make it look like carpet and we used orange boxes covered in curtains for the bedside tables.
