Yay or Nay: Big words in the kitchen
Comments (6)While I love genuine vintage signs that are food-related, I particularly find the latest single word signs of COOK EAT DREAM or LIVE tacky and very a juvenile way of decorating........ just saying.........See MoreYay or nay? Mirrored baths
Comments (11)A group of us (close friends) regularly take weekends away in various locations around Victoria. Just stayed in a very nice house in Phillip Island. Guess what? Yep, a HUGE floor to ceiling, wall to wall mirror in one of the 4 bathrooms facing........the toilet!!!! I kid you not! Thankfully it was not our bathroom. What were they thinking when they designed the otherwise lovely holiday house?????...See MoreKitchen success - thanks everyone!
Comments (15)Amazingly nice people here! And thanks for all the sharing! I am working on a tiny walk-in pantry for my new build; it is actually a pantry in a scullery, as most Chinese people do, I will use the scullery as a second kitchen (imaging the smoke and greasy fume from woking!) so I am desperately in need of a pantry to store (and protect) stuff. Our designer actually scorns the idea of a walk-in pantry in a scullery; anyway I've got only 1.0m * 2.2m space to work on. I need a worktop to marinade food (with hundreds of spices near by) and knead doughs for bread, plenty of shelves of different depth, and some floor space for tall things like steam mop etc. The picture is what I now fancy about: when the sliding door opens, I will have wide clearance at the back to work on the benchtop (deeper part 600mm, shallower part 350mm), shallower benchtop is used for small appliances, and shelves of different depths on the left and bottom wall. My husband laughs and says he'd never seen such an irregular pantry. Does it work at all? Any suggestion? Please!...See MoreYay or Nay? Polished concrete benchtops
Comments (22)I like industrial but the domination of concrete and timber needs to be balanced For one the bench is too blocky almost looking like an open tomb. Balance with a natural stone (granite ?) bench top. Then the timber choice is gorgeous but there is too much Consider adding warmth and softness with Porters liquid copper and patina green as a feature wall decorated with tallish leafy plants The timber ceiling is good. Lightly coloured clear glass pendants over the kitchen bench will create an inviting atmosphere and finally brightly coloured stools to accent the space colours of red green etc With compliments Pat 4 Interior Design Canberra...See MoreAlfred Phillips
