THE CARPET CENTRE :: 300 YEARS & STILL GOING

So you might have noticed all the beautiful carpets I have been using in various projects like here & here and even in my own house... what do they all have in common?

Not only can you browse and purchase the entire collection easily online , but you can also schedule an appointment to try out the carpet in your home for free!

DESIGN STORIES :: A GREY COMPROMISE (PART 4)

I will call this post the 'Great Finale!' The last room in the house mega makeover (here)! For the Master bedroom, the couple and I agreed that grey would be the way.

The breakfast area has direct entrance to the garden in the back meaning it can get quite messy as well with bbq's, and friends accessing the kitchen! The approach here was to keep it minimal yet clean. We got rid o
