First Blush

First Blush is home to a busy family with three young daughters and a dog, yet due to clever storage solutions the space remains uncluttered and zen. The design choices are bold and eclectic, but they also create harmonious layers of colour and texture making the home feel very personal. There are emotional touch points throughout the house, for example, the dressing table in the master bedroom where the owner braids her daughters’ hair. “I have memories of my gran’s dresser with her beautiful bottles of perfume and silver brushes,” she says. “It was a special, magical place where I’d sit each night while she did my hair. We lived with her and she was a big influence on me. Maybe one day my girls will feel the same way about this dressing table?” It’s details like these that transform a house into a home.
