FROM THE EDITOR...
In all the shenanigans around the Conservative Party’s attempt to elect its new leader (and by default, our new Prime Minister), one phrase keeps coming up. That of the party being a ‘broad church.’ This is of course a good line to use when being asked about the very big differences that exist among MPs when it comes to how to tackle the Cost of Living Crisis, alongside other massive challenges like addressing net zero 2050.
However, away from the tax versus borrowing debates bedevilling Parliament, we too are proud of being a broad church here at Selfbuilder + Homemaker. By that I mean that we are fortunate to be able to bring you the widest possible array of content, ensuring you’ll fi nd something, or at least interesting, in every issue.
For example in this issue, we look at a self-builder lucky enough to own a small fashion showroom near Hyde Park since the 1960s. This glamorous-sounding life has inspired Dane Søren Ellemann and his partner to turn the building into a home that combines cosiness with space and light in a brilliant way.
At the other end of the spectrum, an equally revealing piece from Graf UK explains how to get around the sewage implications of having to tackle sites that may previously have been off-limits. That’s truly a broad church!
