Not many people buy a kitchen before they've found the house it's meant to go in, but no one who knows designer Mairead Turner and her restaurateur husband Robin Hodgson is surprised to discover that this is what they did. When they fall in love with a beautiful bargain they snap it up and work out where to put it later. 'I came across a freestanding oak Habitat kitchen years ago on eBay,' laughs Mairead. 'I saw it, fell in love with it and bought it. It's been dragged around with us from place to place ever since, until we finally found a home for it here.'
