Emer Gillespie's house renovation has been a labour of love, and the process from start to finish required resourcefulness, creativity, and perseverance.
Emer is the founder of lighting company Spark & Bell, and she lives with her husband Brad Guin, a product developer, their children, aged seven, and 21, and French bulldog Duke. When they first moved into a five-bedroom Victorian terraced house in Hove, East Sussex, there was work to do, but there's no doubt as to whether it was worth it.
