We are honoured to play a very tiny part of making a brighter future for the amazing Sweet family, who featured on yesterday's #DIYsos
‘Louisa (14), Max (11) and Harry (6) Sweet live with their parents Chris and Cat in Weston-super-Mare and were a happy and healthy family until Harry was diagnosed with a genetic condition called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The family had been struggling with Harry’s health issues for three years when, in 2017, after genetic testing, Louisa and Max were diagnosed with Friedreich's ataxia, a rare and life-limiting neurodegenerative condition for which there is currently no treatment or cure.
All three children struggle with basic normal life at home, unable to undertake simple tasks without help, and with Louisa rapidly losing her teenage independence instead of gaining it, despite the immense love and care from their inspirational parents Cat and Chris, DIY SOS and kind local volunteers are stepping up to help this truly deserving family.’
Designer Sophie Robinson designed the interior of every room in the house, adding her trademark bold colour and pattern selections into each scheme.
For the master bedroom’s interior Sophie selected beautiful fabrics for our Hepburn chairs and Nicole bed, making a beautifully relaxing bedroom for Cat and Chris.
We wish Cat, Chris and their wonderful children a happy life in their new home.
