The Inner Interior Designer

My inner interior designer is being born of colour palettes, beautiful furniture, amazing lighting and love. I have always had a overwhelming interest in design and arrangement.

So my first major project was my involvement in the building and design of my family home recently.

My clients were my Mum and Dad, myself and our two dogs;


The concept of this house was American modern chic with a certain 'Hamptons' charm and provincial fling! This house was to be decadent, classy and comfortable. We wanted it feel like we were on a holiday everyday, I think we achieved that.


Outdoor  Pavilion (yet to have Kitchen installed)

Study area just off the Kitchen where my Mum wanted to be able to look up recipes and  check emails.

Cellar, a must in this house-hold

Custom-made sweeping stair case to entry

Cane is a prominent feature in this house. We have two of these 6' pots in the entry.

Small porch area with two of these comfy chairs. The sun hits this spot mid morning so its a great lounge area

The outdoor firepit, great for entertaining!

Fijian ornamental face mask,  looks great by the pool.

The pool, this was the compromise between a pool for summer and an all year-round water feature. The spouts shoot water and we have beautiful lighting that is amazing at night.

More detail to come...
