Today we started early with the truck filling loads of stock for a decorating job on the Gold Coast. We have fully renovated this stunning holiday apartment with panoramic ocean views right on the beach. Our client is such lovely person with a great sense of style, she wanted a classic, timeless feel, a place to relax with family and friends. We will have the job totally completed by the end of next week. I'm so happy with the out come but I don't want to show more until we have completed the rest of the job.

 



The boy's room was a very difficult space to work with so we couldn't do bed heads due to the window, the end result I'm really happy with, we still need to add the prints on the wall and a sideboard to finish the room.

Parts of the sofa made it up 35 floors but unfortunately the lounges did not make it, sadly by just a few millimeters they just would not fit in the lift, even though we checked several times we ended up being slightly out, thankfully they are going to be pulled up the high rise building on the outside.....very nerve racking especially for those below!!  but the end result will be worth it!

A sneak peak in the bedroom, the wallpaper is only on one wall and the other walls are blue with white trim, white linen sheers keeping the room fresh and crystal lamps with white silk shades sit on the custom painted white commodes, a sideboard in pressed silver will complete the room. The room is nearly finished and I will post the final look later in the week.


We have teamed the cushions up with lots of white scatters, we had to use carpet as a requirement of high rise unit living, but it actually is a lot lighter than my photo, we used lime washed timber floors in the kitchen.



A close up of our ottomans, this gorgeous embroidered fabric looks more amazing in real life
my camera was playing up and over exposed the photo.




Under the coffee table will be lots of magazines for holiday reading. The curtains will be made of white linen sheers with lots of fullness with the lounges and finishing touches still to be completed. The entry is wall-papered in tones of silver, taupe, greys and white in a beautiful classic pattern the same as the bedroom but a different colour way. A french style cupboard is going to be filled with lots of white and taupe crockery, crystal glasses and decanters, lots of fresh white flowers will complete the room.
