French and Italian sensibilities combine in a small seaside home
Rolled armed over french linen sofas with castor feet, oversized outdoor antique cafe lanterns creeping inside, strategically placed large scale mirrors to bounce light and reflect ocean views throughout the house...all anchored with a log burner and overdyed antique rug over white washed floor boards. Coastal chic at its finest!

From humble beginnings to an Italian style garden at the 'Montmarte' beach house
This area was overgrown and had zero personality. A major clearing and playful application of Hebe balls for sculpture and conical cyprus for height and wit Italian flavour to guide the curved path. This project is ongoing with a terraced lemon grove underway! Pics to follow.

The French Boudoir
A primary bedroom was given a French makeover to open up the space and convert it to a luxurious full mastersuite complete with an tub and Italian stone surround fireplace. Using the unexpected items and placements in a typically predictable space injected personality and transports you from your daily grind to the French Petite Maison! Velvet drapes were generously hung to highlight the scale of windows and ad drama, while unlacquered brass hardware ensured a lived in and loved softness and authenticity to the room. Opulent, individual, luxurious but welcoming. Et Voila.
