Take a look at the Victorian townhouse of artists David Campbell and Anita Evagora in York, stripped down to its bare and scarred plaster walls, a live-in project that continues even now.
One of David’s paintings in the entry stairwell. The house has a starring role in Ros Byam Shaw’s book Perfect English Townhouse.
The kitchen’s cabinets were salvaged from the science department at the Camden School for Girls.
Antique blue-and-white china gathered over many years from car boot sales and charity shops.
The couple collected more lab castoffs from the horticultural department of St John’s University in York.
The kitchen has an industrial cooker.
The couple completely overhauled the garden-level basement and turned it into a vacation rental.
In the main bedroom, the couple inserted an antique wardrobe into a niche.
Still a work in progress, the main bath has new windows and is completely painted white.
David and Anita’s daughter described the wallpaper she had in mind for her room, and when they couldn’t find it, David painted it himself.
