Inspiring Face-Lift

​

It's always exciting when you get the opportunity to give a house a complete face lift with a full renovation. It provides for a rebirth of a house and these projects are very close to my heart as it allows me to use my talent and skill to merge my ideas with a client's vision from the inception to completion.

The home was originally a 90's style Tuscan design, it was transformed into a modern 20th Century home by creating bigger interior spaces and changing the 'flow' of the house; with these open spaces which are defined by a design feature that makes each one unique, I achieved a new take on an old design.

There are numerous bold and refined design and style elements which are apparent where I used a small diagonal herringbone marble tiling on the kitchen walls and then a large herringbone with three different colour tiles on the main bathroom floor as well as the checkerboard tiling on the outside patio and the front door.

​

There are some unique modern design elements like the oversized waterfall island in the kitchen, the large black & copper lights above the bar area, the furniture which I had matte black sprayed and 3 large coq round mirrors, as well as a host of features from the floating wall units and the layout of the lounge area. Further interest is created with a patterned black and white tile around the bar area, a mirrored bathroom aluminium door and brick tiles at the front door. Whilst there are too many elements to mention, the end product is a modern house mixed with classical elements that still remains a family home.
