please enter our non existent doors

And have a peak at our insides.

This post is short, sweet and to the point. It is all about showing you the internal colours and here they are.


We have gone with soft light airy finishes except the carpet which is a charcoal (looks black in this picture but is lighter in person)
Our accessories tend to be very bright and create features in their own right so I like a blank canvas to work with.

For example. This style of stool is up our alley.

Can you imagine how they would look mixed with our colour choices in the below plan. With those Ikea pendant lights from this post




I am finally starting to get a real feel for the place now.


We decided to keep our bathroom tile the same in all wet areas including our kitchen. I know a lot of people, including designers and builders, say the subway tile look is dated and no longer in fashion. But we really really love it. More so than a splash back. I think it ties back to our desire to not have it so modern.

Would love to know your thoughts on our choices.....

  1. I like them! I commend you for being able to imagine how it will all look I always struggled to! I wish we got ceaserstone though that's my one regret in the grand scheme of the loan it probably wouldn't of made much difference

    1. It's always the way isn't it. I am sure we will have wished we had done something differently once it's all done. It is just so hard to know exactly what you want out of a house that isn't built yet.

    1. I love glass splash backs. Always have. I just didn't have a want for it in the new place for some reason. They look really smart, but maybe a little too smart for the style we are trying to create.
