When Dublin creative Joanne Mooney bought her four-bed, semi-detached home in Swords in 2003, she wasn’t thinking about architectural statements or design manifestos.
The house, then painted wall-to-wall in magnolia, was simply her family’s next move – a step up from their former small three-bed in the same area, to a bigger space that could grow with their two young daughters. What she didn’t yet know was that this house would become the canvas for two decades of creativity, colour, craft and ever-evolving DIY.
