This kitchen was designed with functionality and clean lines in mind. Where every kitchen items has its place.

Part of the living and dining area this kitchen overlook the garden. A wall divides the two spaces without restricting the flow with the kitchen.

“The Office” Concept to Finish

The design of the study/office is near completion, walls are painted and wallpapered, desk and cabinets have been installed. This space is shared with Serge the IT guy, my husband. The concept for this space is a picture perfect winter day with snow shining on pine trees…refreshing and stimulating ! While adding comfort and practicality to the space. The result is a clean feel with lots of storage.

Following the construction work here is what has happened to this small space…

Study frame work

 

 While the walls and ceiling were being framed and plastered the colour concept and finishes were selected.

 

Samples

The desk top is from “Polytec” laminate in “Rocco Lini” with matt finish.

Paint on the walls is from “Resene”, walls and trims, architrave and skirting have the same colour ”Quarter Black White”

The ceiling and cornice are painted in pure white.

The roller blind has blockout and the finish is grey metallic.

 The filing cabinet is painted with 4 different coats of paint, all from “Resene”

1 coat of smooth surface sealer

1 coat of base coat lumbersider in “grey”

2 coats of “blast grey 3″ which gives that metallic finish.

 

The wallpaper is from “Vision Wallcovering” Shoner Wohnen collection #1514-45

 

The wallpaper installation…it was a lot of fun…but a word of advise, prepare your walls well, check this video, its has great tips…

Timeless Pieces

Handcrafted Table

I love the look of handcrafted steel furniture, it shows a beautiful patina adding character to any interiors, the furniture can be placed outdoor or indoor, add some cushions covered  in natural fabric like cotton canvas or linen. This setting has just been picked and delivered for a breakfast room.

Dining Setting

In need of some restoration, these two antique chairs have had their seats recane and stained to match the timber finish.

I love a day like today, warm weather and amazing colours all around, bright blue sky with burst of reds, orange and rust colours, it feels  that the trees are telling us they are getting ready for a long sleep before they will shot their new buds, can’t wait for the sun to rise again tomorrow!
