Kitchen Before & After: Part 1

Kim — Thu, 03 Oct 2013 05:19:46 +0000

Yay, so we’ve started. I’m very excited to be re-doing my kitchen which I’ll document on “My Design Series”. I have some fabulous brands on board that are going to make my dream kitchen come true! Can’t wait to share.

BEFORE:

Ah I can’t wait to de-clutter and get in some simple clean lines and a fresh new look. I’m basically replacing the tiles thanks to Tile Africa, putting in new kitchen tops thanks to Phoenix Stone Quartz Surface, part of the W.O.M.A.G group and getting in a new sink thanks to Franke and a mixer thanks to Hansgrohe, both available at ON TAP.

And here’s the look I’m going for more or less. Plus, watch out for fabulous finishes from brands like L.I.M. & Entrepo. Excited!

Patio before & after

Kim — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 05:07:28 +0000

When we moved into our house we pulled out all the bamboo reeds from the patio roof as they were a little worse for ware, and screeded the patio which was bricked before. So I was very excited to do a very over-due, refresh of our patio recently.

BEFORE:

Sticks from The Pole Yard are slotted in.

Then I rescue two old Mr Price lanterns from our wedding and get busy! I’ve sprayed them in Plascon Perfect Finish Gloss White. I used 3 cans for the 2 lanters. I could have probably used less but I did spray them in the wind. ( Stupid but you know the feeling when you want something done NOW!)

AFTER:

And Voilà! Simple, yet effective.

Guest room before & after: Part 1

Kim — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 05:16:41 +0000

Last week I hinted at a new before and after (read it here.) So my guest room outside has been very neglected as I’ve just not had the time and much needed creative injection to get to it. Originally terracotta tiles when we bought our house, I painted the tiles (which Plascon does not recommend) white. My fresh idea was soon crushed, with white, obviously being a nightmare to maintain. Duh!

Anyway, I know Plascon does not recommend painting floor tiles, but I needed a desperate quick fix and with my new Moroccan Grass Matt Runners, I can now maintain the floor better.

There’s nothing like the smell of a fresh coat of paint to make things feel brand new and fresh.

Ah – walls painted in Plascon Cashmere Plush Matt White, create an all inspiring white canvas for me to play with.

Plascon Grey FPT7 Floor Paint transforms my dirty white floors to create a graphic, bold, base to the room.

Plascon Grey Stoep Enamel finishes off the rooms entrance with its contrasting, glossy lacquered texture.

Pop back to see the finishing touches!

MY DESIGN SERIES

Kim — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 09:08:16 +0000

I’m so grateful my parents kept my beds from when I was little…

BEFORE:

I showed you the fabric I bought from Lula Fabrics to recover my dining room chairs and the fabric I bought at Shine Shine. I made a cushion with the left over Lula fabric from the chairs and got a mattress upholstered with the Shine Shine Fabric. Along with some black enamel paint, I’ve made a little day bed.
