Eaglemont Project - completed exterior

At the end of the year, the Eaglemont project was nearing completion, so I thought I would post some images of the exterior.

After working over the last 12 months on this project, it all wound up the last weeks before Christmas as all the final details were completed, to enable the client to move in just after Christmas.

Its all in the details, custom made windows, classic styled lighting and sympathetic fittings down to the door bell button.

The columns on the veranda were one of the only details retained from the old house, before it was demolished and they work perfectly in their new positions, after being striped, sandblasted and repainted. 

Weekend Hours - now open Saturday

We are open on Saturdays now !

With our new locale on busy Hampton Street, it seemed silly not to be available on Saturday mornings.

I'll be here on Saturdays from 9.30am to 12noon, so pop in!

Eaglemont - Cabinetry Install begins

 

The cabinetry installation has started on my Eaglemont project. Front the raw units in the factory a couple of weeks ago, the cabinets have been off for 2-pac painting and the family room was full this morning when I popped onsite.

 

Later in the day, the installation was underway and progressing well. Client is very happy and its looking great. Templates of the stone tops are next and bulkheads over the units to finish off, before the cornice is installed.
 

 

I will keep you updated on the progress.

Tile Layout

Eaglemont Project

So glad I pushed the client with this amazing tile for the powder room, teamed with classic white subway tiles, its going to add some WOW to the space. The layout was done yesterday before installing. Can't wait to see them myself onsite tomorrow. Love, love them.....

Inspiration Board

 

Here is a snippet of my inspiration board, it sits just inside my door and includes visual images, fabrics and trims that I love. Its updated with new fabrics as they arrive and gives a little colour POP! 

My work - styling

Some time ago, I worked in QLD on a project for the advertising creative on the Oracle Apartments.

We had to select furniture, accessories and art - style 5 apartments ranging from a 1 bedroom to a 4 bed sky home (featured on this video) ...to the penthouse apartment, all in 5 days...

There were amazing photo's by Earl Carter and video's produced all to help sell the apartments. This program was successful and below is a great video, showcasing the work we did.

 

Please check out the video of the Skyhome featured below.

Just changed over the window display to this stunning drop from Equipo and we have teamed it with 3 Martyn Lawrence Bullard cushions in jewel tones. The sun even came out to play!!

Work in progress

Custom designed chairs about to head to their new home. Look great in the plastic so I can't wait to see them unwrapped.

India - various images

Thought I would share a batch of snapshots from various places in India.

Market stalls and people out and about on various modes of transport, amazing how many people can squeeze into a motor bike.
