Mollie & JasonCreators of magical spaces

Jason Pannell

Our main man for woodwork, plumbing, electric and all round crafting and creating under the ever watchful eye of Mollie.

Mollie Pottas

Said Mollie. Fusing big ideas and design together, keeping things practical but always beautiful. Mollie takes care of all styling, and likes to tinker with the photography side of things when not having their three little ones to chase after.

Etta, Marmaduke & Ilda

Mollie and Jason’s little bumblebees keep them creating, making and (most importantly!) dreaming, so that their little world is fun, free and magic.

A shared passion for

Thoughtful design

With imagination and craftsmanship, the pair have mastered converting weary narrowboats into functional purpose-built, light-filled spaces whilst living on the water. They incorporate the kind of thoughtful and practical touches into their designs that come with a genuine appreciation for living sustainably.

Transforming vans into homely havens is another passion for the couple, who have been internationally recognised for their craftsmanship – featuring on programs such as Better Homes & Gardens Australia, and in publications such as Waterways World and Circus.

A magical lifestyle

Living on the waterways

Mollie and Jason have lived a nomadic lifestyle, both on the British canals and on the Australian road. Having been raised in various floating homes, their children Etta, Marmaduke & Ilda have experienced this magical lifestyle from an early age.

Thousands of people have followed their lifestyle and design choices through their Instagram page, previously named Boat & Baby and now updated to Marwood Makes.
