Corey Hemingway always wanted to live in a 1960s house. As the former head of prime sales at The Modern House, she spent a decade working with architecture from that period. "I wanted to create a home unique to me,’ she says. Taking in the delicious chocolate-brown quarry tiles underfoot, the butter-yellow cabinetry and the tactile Douglas fir walls decorated with colourful art, Corey has created something unique indeed. But it hasn’t always been sunshine and roses: the three-storey 1960s townhouse, on a quiet street in Vauxhall, couldn’t have looked more different when she and her partner Oliver got the keys two and a half years ago.
