Patio before & after

March 6, 2013

When we moved into our house we pulled out all the bamboo reeds from the patio roof as they were a little worse for ware, and screeded the patio which was bricked before. So I was very excited to do a very over-due, refresh of our patio recently.

BEFORE:

Sticks from The Pole Yard are slotted in.

Then I rescue two old Mr Price lanterns from our wedding and get busy! I’ve sprayed them in Plascon Perfect Finish Gloss White. I used 3 cans for the 2 lanters. I could have probably used less but I did spray them in the wind. ( Stupid but you know the feeling when you want something done NOW!)

AFTER:

And Voilà! Simple, yet effective.

Guest room before & after: Part 1

February 19, 2013

Last week I hinted at a new before and after (read it here.) So my guest room outside has been very neglected as I’ve just not had the time and much needed creative injection to get to it. Originally terracotta tiles when we bought our house, I painted the tiles (which Plascon does not recommend) white. My fresh idea was soon crushed, with white, obviously being a nightmare to maintain. Duh!

Anyway, I know Plascon does not recommend painting floor tiles, but I needed a desperate quick fix and with my new Moroccan Grass Matt Runners, I can now maintain the floor better.

There’s nothing like the smell of a fresh coat of paint to make things feel brand new and fresh.

Ah – walls painted in Plascon Cashmere Plush Matt White, create an all inspiring white canvas for me to play with.

Plascon Grey FPT7 Floor Paint transforms my dirty white floors to create a graphic, bold, base to the room.

Plascon Grey Stoep Enamel finishes off the rooms entrance with its contrasting, glossy lacquered texture.

My Design Series

February 12, 2013

So I’ve got “My Design Series” going again, and I’ve got a little bed room and garden make over on the go. I popped down to Moroccan Warehouse to get some grass mats for my guest-room make-over ( A wee sneak peak below) and so many other things, as per usual, caught my eye.
