Sometimes you only have to look in your own backyard for inspiration. My friend Louise, who lives only a few of paddocks away, has an amazing house. I did a story on her (of course!) for Country Style Magazine a while ago and now that I'm thinking of the possibilities for my own house, I don't have to look far for ideas.
Like us she had the old farm cottage to start with. It was completely renovated then two more contemporary pavilions were added - the largest for the living area has dramatic, recycled wharf timber beams framing the ceiling. The smaller pavilion is attached to the old cottage and houses such modern amenities as ensuites, walk in robes, powder room and laundry.
It's a great marriage of old and new and has made a great home for a family of six.
Indeed... you sure dont have to look far for ideas.. This is a beautiful home.. with so many awesome ideas..
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious surprise it would be to enter via the front door of the old farm cottage and have the spectacular space in the living pavilion unfold. This is a true contemporary country glam.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing and congrats to Louise and her hubby for the transformation.
