PROJECT SCOPE

Full kitchen and bathroom design for an early 1900's railway cottage, with the curation of new and existing vintage furniture and soft furnishings throughout; to give a subtle, contemporary edge to this home’s overall traditional feel.

YEAR - 2018

Our vision was to design and curate an aesthetic in keeping with the context of the house’s original bones.

After general structural changes were established with the architect, we turned our attention to creating two beautiful, custom designed key spaces for this cottage’s 21st century update; the kitchen and bathroom. This included consideration of bespoke cabinetry and layout, all colours, finishes and fixtures.

Original vintage homewares and furniture pieces were rejuvenated; and new, complimentary items added where required - to create a seamless blend of history, character, and the needs of modern living today.
