I like the soft tones of the elegant interiors that Ditte has taken above - soft grey along with black/off white and shots of soft pink and turquoise. Lovely.

292 - Balustrade and Landscaping.
The new balustrade has been installed on the balcony.
Start of the landscaping - paved walkways.
The latest happenings for 292 is the new balustrade on my deck. Hooray - long delayed but most welcomed. The smaller details on the exterior are slowly coming together. The balustrade is powdercoated in the same colour as the roof and the lower level of the building - it keeps it all smart and consistent.
We are at the finishing end of the exterior painting. Some of the windows need final coats as well as the slatted screens. We can only paint when the weather and our work schedule allows us.
Dad and I have started on the landscaping at the front with paved walkways and will be filling the rest with soil at the end of the week. We intend to keep the planting plan simple. Will keep you posted how that turns out.
I have advertised the lower level apartment tonight on TradeMe. So if you or anyone you know happen to be looking for a lovely new two bedroom apartment to move into - do get in touch.

Seating - Before and After
The entrance wrought iron seating - before.
After.
My client loved red and to negotiate removing the too-strong red on the walls opposite, I took the red (and a gorgeous pattern) to the cushions of the seating. The result - looks great, is the central focus in the entrance and no-one throws their things on it now...

Anne Grafton from GP & J Baker
Baker Lifestyle - Beachcomber Collection
I went to a great presentation last night. It was with Anne Grafton, Managing Director and Head of Design for the GP and J Baker Group of Companies in England. Within the group's umbrella are fabric houses GP and J Baker, Baker Lifestyle, Threads and Mulberry.
Anne was delightful and she gave us a deep appreciation of the great history behind GP and J Baker. There were some great stories - including visiting the Queen three months ago to choose her latest fabrics. Yes, the Queen still chooses all her interior fabrics for her royal living quarters and Anne showed us her choices. Incidentally GP and J Baker have the royal warrant for their products. There were also stories about limited fabric runs of incredibly detailed, embroidered and appliqued fabric (in result very, very expensive) and having a customer come in the showroom on the day of release and wanting 50m...amazing.
It is always inspiring to hear a great presentation and walk away impressed. I haven't used much of these products before, however, knowing more about them, I think I now will.

The Ikea PS cabinet is one of those furniture pieces that I've always noticed - in magazines, blogs and other interior images. It's a classic piece and I would love a white one for my television in my new Living room. Not only would it be handy now for the TV but it'll be a great useful piece in the future for other uses, like an office or a kid's bedroom.
Have you, like me, wanted to buy Ikea and just couldn't because, damn, it's in Australia? Check out Mykea. I came across this secret via a very handy friend. With Mykea you can order Ikea products and have it delivered to your door in NZ. Check out the Ikea website, let Mykea know what you want and you will get a quote. I was pleasantly surprised as I was expecting high delivery charges and I was wrong. So one PS cabinet is on its way!
However, after looking at the images above - I'm liking the two or more in a row....

The Bathroom before.
The Bathroom after - toilet still behind door which now opens the other way.
Hard to take photos without my reflection however, you can see the overall bathroom in the mirror.
Here is the before and after for the 292 bathroom. Much improved, isn't it?
