The Hoppy Home Gets a Glow-Up: Jess Duxbury’s Custom-Painted Vanity Magic

Summary

Jess Duxbury has a passion for home renovation that shines through on her popular Instagram account, The Hoppy Home.

Known for sharing clever DIY hacks and stylish inspiration (often featuring her two mini lop rabbits Sonic and Tiggy), Jess has captured a loyal following. Her latest project, a beautifully updated, five-bedroom 1930s family home near York, showcases her talent for creating stunning, practical spaces on an everyday budget.

Balancing Budget and Style: Modern Country Elegance with Affordable Luxury

"As someone who likes to make considered purchases and within a budget, I’m mindful about where I shop, focusing on finding pieces that fit my vision mixing luxury and affordable pieces. I’m drawn to the modern country style layering with earthy tones, fabrics and natural textures like wood and stone, and I invest in key elements to complete the look."

“One thing I appreciate about Ashbee and Stone is that they make luxury affordable. Their products allow you to elevate your space with timeless elegance without straining your budget."

Well-Considered Touches that Make All The Difference

"I’m really taken by the simplicity and timeless appeal of Linton swan neck brass taps with crosshead handles. They’re beautifully crafted, and I appreciate how the patina develops as they age, adds so much character.”

The new ensuite bathroom at The Hoppy Home features an Ashbee and Stone Tamar close-coupled toilet and a custom-painted double vanity unit in Farrow and Ball’s Treron (292). The vanity, with its ogee-profiled marble top and backsplash, soft-close drawers, and elegant handles, brings a touch of luxury to the space. Jess has created a refined, high-end look that her family can enjoy every day.

"For me, it’s essential to find products that offer both high quality and great value, pieces that truly stand the test of time. The Wytham vanity unit ticked every box: it brings a vintage, classic elegance to my bathroom, elevating it to a new level of luxury."

“What I appreciate about Ashbee and Stone products is their attention to detail. Every element is thoughtfully designed, so even if interior design and styling isn’t your strong suit, the hard work has been done for you. It’s these small, well-considered touches that make all the difference."
