Shed Reveal

With a goal and a vision in place, we have successfully designed, diy’d and transformed the shed into a functional and versatile space! With a workbench and storage space for Bens tools, a gym and a place to keep the surf boards. Our vision was straightforward: a clean, masculine, personal, and practical space. I'm confident that we've achieved this, as the style and overall design truly reflect Ben's personality! And, fortunately, we've completed it just in time for Christmas!

Outdoor Patio & Shed

In April we hosted Easter in the garden, (on a trestle table to be precise)underneath the avocado tree, it was beautifully romantic! But it got me thinking, we spend so much of our time outdoors in the garden, the next thing that would be perfect for our family was a classic (ever so British in style) outdoor dining set!

Guest Ensuite Reveal

Drum roll… The guest ensuite is finally finished!! This bathroom, has flexed and stretched my design skills with its small and narrow size, measuring .9m x 2.7m. So I am certainly happy for it to be complete. In all honesty from design and concept board to fruition, it actually turned out better than I could have imagined.

Paint it Black

Don’t let its dark and dreary reputation fool you: Black paint has the same enduring versatility as its lighter counterparts—not to mention it can give a space a dramatic edge. And applied within the right layout, a few fresh coats can make a space appear bright, airy, and shockingly spacious, making it a great choice for kitchens, powder rooms, outdoor kitchens, and anywhere else that could use a little oomph!

5 Ways to make your bedroom more cosy this Winter.

Winter styling is all about layers. Instead of turning up the heater, look to warm up your bed by opting for wool or linen textures and lots of layers. You want texture and fabric that feels soft, comfortable but slightly weighted as you nestle into bed during the cooler months.

Outdoor Shower

Our deck wraps around our home, and my most favourite part is the walkway adjoining the front to the back of the house, it has the most lush and towering tropical plants we planted to create that enveloping oasis feeling when you walk through.

Having a beach house doesn’t necessarily mean we like to bring half the beach back with our belongings after every beach session, quite the opposite in fact, I love a sand free home!! So naturally we wanted to add an outdoor shower to avoid this problem.
