paul owen...owen & vokes architects brisbane

i had a call from paul the other day and thought i would take a look at his website to see what new projects there are on there.

i thought i'd share this house which is titled 'four-room cottage'. divine!

to see more go to paul owen's website www.owenandvokes.com

absolutely loving this shelf with the crockery on it. i'm calling my builder to change plans now!

and the fun begins

i usually take on a little too much yet perhaps this time i have gone insane. not only have i moved to the sunshine coast to run three real estate offices......i'm also doing the renovations i have been meaning to do for years so that i can rent the house out....only to a friend though!  god forbit a stranger be allowed to touch my gardens.
the kitchen will now be the 2nd bedroom, and the second bedroom will now be the kitchen. oh and i'm doing the bathroom as well. now that was fun. i'm good at distruction, just not so good at completing construction.

so the first dilema. i have to move a window. i can't have the gas cooktop directly underneath the window. i'm thinking of doing a higher long narrow window now which will also give me more privacy, considering that wall faces the street. 

where else to look for ideas then my favorite website showing work of owen and vokes architects. i've sold property for paul owen before and now i hear that one of his creations might be coming on the market. if only it was at noosa.

tiles, toilets and tapware

i've finally decided on tapware and a toilet and i also think, tiles. i'm not 100% certain on what i want tiling wise with what i have found, but i'm sure after i've slept on it, i'll have a decision.

a friend refered me to the tile mob at mitchelton. what a gold mine of tiles that place is! i had no idea it even existed. they have a brilliant range for anyone who likes subway tiles or a art deco look with some very original looking deco feature tiles. highly recommend them!

cast iron fretwork for funky interior shelving

there is a new store on james st new farm called st barts. ridiculously expensive items (for my budget!), however lovely they are. 

i really like the old cast iron fretwork being used as shelves. really good idea. i just happen to have a heap of fretwork stashed under my house which would be perfect. hmmmm. i feel a weekend project coming on.

they are all too big! where can i get my hands on smaller subway tiles

it is so frustrating not being able to find the tiles i'm after. all i want is smaller subway tiles, say 60 x 120 or 60 x 240. instead i can only find really small, or 100 x 200 or 100 x 300 or 400 or tiles in off white. it shouldn't be so hard! any of the 100s are just to big and too modern. i don't want modern....i want character. 

frustrated.

or perhaps this for the flooring or walls?

it is called carrara bellagio inserto 12 in. how good does it look! i think it has just convinced me to change my bathroom tiling ideas......again! image from pinkpink114.blogspot.com
