Project Apartment; Blindin'

Happy Monday everyone!

The weekend proved rather productive after the latest addition of beautiful blinds were fitted in the open plan living/dining area and kitchen of our little project.

It's amazing the difference they make. With the room being pretty big, they really add that little something that makes it feel cozy and, well, lived in.

Being near the sea, we wanted to create that coastal feel so opted for some wide slatted white Venetian tape blinds (shutteresque - the real deal would have blown the budget!).

We're not far off now. A big clean and organising furniture and accessories and we'll be there!!

Almost done!...

More pics to follow once we're a little more in shape!

All getting pretty exciting now!

WARNING: Imagination Essential

Ok kiddo's....we're on to the bathroom! We've got our main bathroom, and a lovely big en-suite to get fully decked out. The tiles are going up today....lovely pale stone with a bit of texture for that added bit of interest around the shower areas.

We're mixing the tiles up with painted walls to keep it a little more relaxed....and not so clinical!

Soooo, here's the before shots.....(try to block out the wires and holes)....

Five Shades Of Grey

Well, well, well....first and foremost, apologies for the complete lack of attention you've all been given over the past couple of weeks. It's been a hectic couple! We're currently knee deep, completely transforming a lovely property complete with original features from a building site into a fully liveable, luxurious holiday rental - so we're being kept rather busy!

We certainly want to stamp a little personality into the place, but we're constantly having to remind ourselves that there is in fact a BUDGET!...

Bedroom 1 has been given a lovely lick of paint. We've gone for grey walls (heaps of shades scattered across our floors until we finally decided on the perfect one!) teamed with white woodwork to give that freshness you need when you wake up on a sunny morning*...

So, here's some before shots.....

...and here's where we've drawn inspiration from...and we're hoping our end product turns out to be a lovely mix of these beauties....see what you think!

Love the softness of the grey used here combined with pastel shades...
