MY CLASSIC ABODE
Our
Projects
Our work comes in many different forms from a simple colour palette selection to a complete room makeover from ideation, design to final finish. Here is a small sample of some of our recent projects.
A Classic Laundry - A room for a busy family
This project brief included the layout design and styling for a new laundry extension to a 1913 Californian bungalow in Sydney. The requirement here was to create a multi-dimensional room that would act as a functioning utility room, laundry and bathroom for a growing and busy family of five. The styling of the project required the new room to blend in with the home's original federation era styling but bring a more modern feel. Ellie designed the layout, cabinetry, shelving and all finishes and fixtures including tapware, windows, doors, tiling, lighting and colour scheme. To create a room that is not only beautiful but perfectly functional for a busy family!

A Classic Bathroom - "The Bird Bath"
This beautiful bathroom was created for an owner who was interested in preserving the old world feel of a traditional bathroom but wanted something different and useable. Ellie designed the layout for this room using an original claw foot bathtub that was restored with new glass enamel as its central piece. A Perrin and Rowe pedestal basin, tapware and toilet was added to complete the layout. The room was then dressed with an exquisite bird themed wallpaper from Sanderson. Wainscoting wall paneling provides the additional edge that completes the look.

The Classic Kitchen - A Touch of the Cotswalds
This ground up kitchen design was created by our principal stylist Ellie. The design brief was to create a kitchen that was elegant, functional and in line with the character of the owner's home. The owner had expressed their desire to have the warmth and feel of an English Cotswalds style kitchen. The kitchen layout and 2 tone cabinetry was designed around an original fireplace stack and Ellie had selected an AGA range cooker to be the main focal point. All other appliances (2 x bench fridge's, microwave and dishwasher) were fully integrated to allow the kitchen to both look amazing and function perfectly.
