my inspiration for the new outdoor space

last week I had lots of things on my mind - I am working on an outdoor project - a little challenging, but I'm up for it - I have fallen madly deeply for these guys - who make great outdoor lounges and accessories - love their look, casual but elegant, formal but welcoming!

I also got to work on another real estate makeover - here is a sneak peek, still waiting for this one to go onto the market officially, now I really want to kick myself with this job, as I did not take any before photos. I can tell you this, this makeover was unbelievable - again no structural changes just paint and furniture/accessories.

the other thing I love about this job was the paint colours I asked the clients  to repaint the inside of the house - feature wall - Dulux Otto's Boy, all other walls Dulux Natural White.

more about this home later this week!

this week I fell in love with these! OMG!!! WANT NEED HAVE TO HAVE!!

I am also working on a bedroom/living area makeover - I have taken some before shots of this one, so stay tuned! I will unveil this one soon. It features this amazing Florence Broadhurst fabric.

Lastly, with the School holiday's fast approaching, I am going to attempt some DIY projects - all of which involve paint!!!

here is one of them

Silver spray painted baskets!!! from the Martha Stewart site, these are an instant updater and practical as well!!

Until next time, happy decorating!

First Room Makeover for 2012

I put together this moodboard for a Master Bedroom Makeover. The flavour of the room is Chic and Cheerful - it is quite a large room with a beautiful bay window which is perfect for this this chair. We are working with the current bed which is black cast iron - we are going to add texture through the bedlinen in white and natural linen tones - with a splash of pink in the IKAT Cushions from here. I am also planning on making a feature of the side tables and lamps which will be covered in a Florence Broadhurst Japanese inspired fabric that will hang from the ceiling. One bedside table will be pink and the other will be white (for the man of the house!) I have also incorporated a vintage poster for some Chic Fun!

I am working on some other rooms at the moment - stay tuned......
