Green Kitchen

The office is having a frantic week - however, among the chaos I did come across this interesting green european style kitchen. This is the second time this week that I have seen tiles installed on an angle in the kitchen. The other example was a white subway tiles installed in a herringbone pattern, which was rather effective. Food for thought...

Tiled Alcove

Here's a great way to break up the classic Scandi black and white kitchen - a little alcove with contrasting tiles. I visited a client today who has an existing alcove in her kitchen, just like this one, and we both initally thought we would cover it up, but now thinking otherwise...

Touches of Marrakech

I have been seeing many influences and touches of Morocco and Marrakech designs in interiors of late - I admit my eye does get drawn to great kilim rugs and cushions. It is a trend that is popping up in magazines and books and when I found these images from New York fashion photographer, Jamie who is visiting Marrakech, you can see the appeal. It's great to see the richness, colour and details of the place.

Green Chevron

Here is a great bathroom with its eye catching chevron patterned tiles. The only thing I worry about when I see a basin on just a bench top is where is the storage? Rather essential, don't you think?

Work in Action - Kitchen Splashback

Lukas the tiler at work.

Leading up to Christmas, December has been a month of installations and finishing off details. This photo is from one of the more interesting jobs that I have been working on. I designed this kitchen for my clients around the middle of the year, however, it was delayed due to the purchased freestanding oven having to travel from Italy - a good 12 week wait. So in result, the kitchen has been installed this month (probably the most craziest month to do so) and the oven is arriving tomorrow. Woohoo.
Lukas the tiler is standing in the spot where the oven will sit and he is finishing off the tiled splashback. My clients commissioned a glass art tile and that is what Lukas is working on. It has been lit from behind hence the glow. Hopefully, I can get some good overall kitchen photos and show you all the cool details soon.
