MY DESIGN SERIES

So, a lot has happened so far. Last week I introduced you to my new ‘My Design Series‘. A series that will grow from a boring grey shell, to my design dream. I’ll feature building before and afters to soft furnishings. So excited!

Cupboard doors are being replaced and all the cracks are being filled up to  prepare our home for a  fresh coat of paint. How paint can freshen up a space… I can’t wait to see it looking light and bright.

This was one of the images we gave Mortice & Tenon as inspiration for our new bathroom. I was thrilled with the drawings they did below as to what our bathroom will look like. See more bathrooms by Mortice & Tenon here and here.

The progress so far ….

Bricks are lifted to lay a new patio.

Paint swatches are up to transform the walls from drab to fab. (No doubt the walls worked for the previous owners home). Samples of grey screed flooring are put down. Below, cracks are reinforced before the screed work begins.

Oooh, and a new dicovery. Our outside room (to be Kim Gray’s brand new office) sports Terracotta Tiles under the carpets… The kitchen is terracotta so we’ll clean these up so that the outside room ties in with the inside of the house, matching the kitchen floors and freshly painted walls.

I can’t wait to share more …

My Design Series: Boskke

So glad we had such amazing weather this last weekend, as I got to do some exciting gardening!

 

My Boskke Planters arrive from l’emile et Son beautifully wrapped.

As with many a designer look, it can bring on painstakingly frustrating assembling, but these Boskke Planters are super easy to assemble!

Once you’ve planted your plant inside the planter, a piece of mesh is provided to place round the plant with an easy lock in system

Today, day 4, walls begin to be plastered and the shelf for my Moroccan Basin is built in. It’s going to look so great with my Kludi Taps. A brand stocked at On Tap.

So excited for the Casa Tiles to go in.

P.S I am away tomorrow, so Monday you’ll get double the updates!

My design series

So I’ve been wanting to do something with this horrid corner in my garden for ages. The washing line was previously on the green wall. So we’ve put it against the house which can now be tucked away/blends in etc…

BEFORE:

AFTER:

We’ve put in sticks along the wall and got these awesome pots at an absolute song (on sale) from Stodels with some Natal Banana Trees from the Kirstenbosch Nursery. We’re trying to create a little slice of our Bali Honeymoon 🙂

Next, I’m on the hunt for a beautiful big umbrella, fabric to make lounger cushions, more stones to cover the drain and a stunning little side table of sorts… Eventually nice tiles around the pool. Boy do I love a project!

Speaking of projects. Monday we begin renovating our guest bathroom. Look at these amazing, handmade tiles from Casa Tiles and light fitting and basin from Moroccan Warehouse. I’m so thrilled with my finds and can’t wait to get going. Watch this space.
