A Recent Project

Over the last few months we have been working on finalising projects and starting several new ones too! Our recent completed project is a house we designed and have worked on for the past year and with several set backs of bad weather, we finally have this beautiful home up for sale.

Our clients gave us total freedom to design a home which made the task very exciting and daunting all at the same time. We wanted to create a classic beach house however it was important that it appealed to the majority. We also had the difficult task of building a large home on a very small block of land that literally has the water lapping up to its backyard.

We wanted the floors to appear like driftwood with a recycled grey-wash finish which we also continued onto the large deck areas. The walls were painted a soft grey with timber panel millwork throughout the home. The home was furnished on a tight budget so we opted to decorate the main areas in classic neutral tones so our potential buyers could add their own design aesthetics and personal touch to the home.

If you live in the Brisbane area you're more than welcome to visit the open houses, our VH team will be there for a chat and you can see in person the beauty of this home. The open house is this Saturday 18th May from 3-4pm. Visit our Verandah House Facebook for more details. We would love to hear your thoughts!

Glamour Bathroom

Over the weekend we continued our bathroom renovation, we painted it the softest of blue, with lots of white trim, the taps have been purchased, the glass towel rails that I actually carried home in my luggage from Restoration Hardware in America will finally be installed. I'm on the hunt for two mirrors but we have the most amazing light fitting. I cant believe in Australia how expensive our tapware and accessories are not to mention our lack of choice, its really dumb-founds me how hard it is to source something nice. I would get the accessories sent but unfortunately I dont have enough time, so for now I need to just drool over the beautiful pieces that can be sourced through Restoration Hardware.

When decorating a classic style bathroom I love collecting beautiful glass jars to fill with soaps, bath salts and candles that sit near the bath on a side table, adding the luxury of a velvet or satin ottoman, wallpaper, timber wall panelling and if possible a chandelier to add the glamour.
