We hit an emotional and physical wall with the renovation last week. Before we embarked on this project we knew there’d probably come a point at which we’d look at each other and wonder what on earth we’d done. I think we arrived at that point last week. I’m so impatient to get things done and as we are undertaking almost all the work ourselves progress has felt slow at times. We are both perfectionists so we spend ages making sure every last detail is just right. But then I step back and look at our beautiful new bedroom and I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved. Swipe for some before pics to see how far we’ve come. #DHprojecthouse
Little details really do make all the difference in a renovation. Sometimes they are so subtle as to be almost imperceptible but they combine to create a sense that a room feels complete and ‘just right’. To help with my office makeover @urbancottageindustries invited me to try out their ‘Made for you’ service. You can choose from their huge range of lighting components to design a light that works perfectly with the other fixtures and fittings in your design scheme and they deliver next day, which is brilliant if you are working to a tight schedule. I chose an opal glass shade with a bronze ceiling rose and flex [gifted]. It’s based on a 1930s design so it’s a little nod to the age of our house and it works perfectly with the bronze door knobs we recently fitted. #1930shome #urbancottageindustries #contemporaryindustrial
A day of painting for me and then I need to hunt for some new shelves for the office (loved these at @workshopliving in Brighton). Have a great Sunday everyone.
My new office is starting to take shape. The plastering & painting is done and the new windows have been fitted. Graham is laying the floor this week and then we’ll be able to start moving the first few pieces of furniture in. I am so looking forward to having a fresh clean new space to work in. The last couple of months have been tough at times. It’s been a constant battle with dust and mess but we finally have a couple of rooms almost finished. #designhunterrenovations #DHprojecthouse
Classic British seaside modernism - the De La Warr pavilion, designed by Eric Mendelsohn and opened in 1935. I’ve wanted to visit this building for a long time and it didn’t disappoint. It stretches proudly along the seafront like an ocean liner and the stunning curved bay windows give it a wonderful sense of space and light.
I’m thankful we’ve had some much needed rain for the garden at last but I hope we get to enjoy a few more weeks of beach weather this summer. This was Hastings looking almost mediterranean on one of the hottest days of the year last week.
Decisions... one of the things it’s easy to underestimate when taking on a renovation project is just how many of them there are to make. From choosing where to locate the boiler to radiator valves and door knobs even seemingly small things can have a considerable impact on how a space looks, feels and works. And then there are the bigger and more exciting decisions like windows and doors. We want to fit Crittall style doors in the kitchen and living room so yesterday we went to look at these by @hedgehogaluminium at @skyhousedesigncentre . We were pretty impressed but would love to check out a few more options before making our final decision. Any recommendations?
You can always rely on whippets to seek out the comfiest spot in the house. Today’s location of choice is my new cotton throw from @zigzagzurich . Designed by Nicole & Petra Kapitza of design studio Kapitza it’s part of the ZigZagZurich’s artists blankets collection which is definitely worth checking out. It includes some really strong geometric and typographic designs. They are jacquard woven from super fine cotton and perfect for picnics, the beach, the pool... or the home. [gifted]
