Today on this wet and dull Bank Holiday Monday I am going to suggest to you that this Molteni blood red velvet sofa by Ron Gilad is just fabulous and will brighten your day, just to look at it.

It doesn't matter if you can't afford it, let us appreciate its design and quality, and if you can afford it then good for you, if you have one then even better.....

Saw this yesterday.... The Old Dog Shop, otherwise known as 'Margaret's Canine Salon' in Baffins.

Just love old shop fronts they have a special place in my nostalgic heart for times gone by.
Not even a 92 before the telephone number...

 A new kitchen required in Portsmouth...
Update, clean lines, more storage and less clutter and finally a complete design.


Before...

Our design...

Corian with top with integrated sink & upstands, anthracite gloss units with integrated fridge/freezer, built in bulkhead, under unit lighting...

These are the elements of the bathroom design our client liked, we have put them together in a moodboard.

A recent and on going kitchen, needs updating from the 1990's to the present day.


Client wants to update and has a preference for white, cream and cleanliness.
Here's what we did...

Bleached oak doors with 900mm pan drawers, arctic white stone worktop, integrated appliances with an induction hob and nice 900mm x 720mm wall units for storage.
Floor to be decided.

The latest on the bathroom...
The British Museum.....


Whilst in London looking into doing our new app these caught our eye.

A very old Dutch wooden door, where the phrase, 'going dutch' comes from.

Let's take a look at our bathroom ideas, are they coming together?




The layout is very nice and spacious but not quite there yet.



Thursday 8 May 2014

Morning all, continuing on from the bathroom project....
a change of direction. Our clients have been out and about and have seen lots of bathroom products and have seen some modern stuff that they like, so it's a crossover of bringing together old elements and new products.
Here are a few nice ideas....

For the space available some of these ideas may work. It is always a work in progress.
Just going to put this into 3D so we can get a better picture.

New day, new job...
A bathroom to design in this house...


This is the room...

It's a generous size with a fire place...

Very high ceilings, original features...

and chest X rays...

In this room we need to fit a bath, a walk in shower, a toilet, a sink, a radiator, a mirror and storage.
The house is beautiful, the brief is classic.

A plan has been drawn...


Products are now being chosen as I write this...

Thinking about these elements....

Social Media

Whilst trying to promote our blog I have now joined "Stumbleupon" I have no idea what this platform is and I now have to do a list so as I can remember what social media sites I belong to as they are rising by the day and my memory is not what it used to be, which was forgetful 25 years ago!I'm too old for this s@*%.I think it's time to employ a 16 year old media whizz who can tell me what's cool and what's not.It's been a good day apart from the mechanical break down.A bathroom and a kitchen to design tomorrow.
Troubled souls unite...
Groundhog today... second day in a row, we are on our way to Chichester to look for new premises for our interior & kitchen ideas, new beginnings and all. A fabulous new shop to showcase all of our ideas and the new classic crossover kitchen with living area, classic style with all the modern touches set in a modern context.
We will be showing all of our trade mark quality designs put together in one place. Crisp clean whites, off whites, chalky whites, chunky oak, stone work tops, marble splash backs, smart lighting, cool appliances etc.
Back to the groundhog story...car starts mis-firing on the motorway for the second day in a row and we splutter back to the garage drop the car off and walk back to the shop through Portsmouth laughing about it.
Well what else can you do? Laugh, that's what.
Here's some fluffy stuff to brighten the day.

We love rabbit curry
