Love this space today ...

I really am loving this space, really loving it ...

Ok, so what do I like about it I hear you ask? 

Well in no particular order I love ...

The tall windows opening out onto a balcony

I love the transom windows above to extend the height and allow in even more light

The window frames being painted out in the black contrasting against the crisp white walls

The sleek white kitchen

The rough wooden herringbone pattern floorboards

White dining table and chairs with banquet seating against the wall

The fire place discreetly positioned in the wall

Balcony Inspiration

One thing I love about my first little place, is the balcony that is off my bedroom. At the moment I can't use it - a) because it looks super ugly and b) it is unsafe and basically needs to ripped down and built again. So I have started to get my inspiration together for the look and feel of it.

As it looks before any renovations started - revolting



As it leads off from my bedroom where the colour scheme is simple grey and white I want to extend this out onto the balcony and give it a real Hamptons feel. As I live in a complex the trellis must stay, but if it is painted fresh, crisp white it should look fine. I want to replace the "pink" decking with beautiful silvery grey boards and find a way to cover the airconditioning unit.

I want to use the space to sit out on a late morning where I can put my feet up with my laptop or reading a magazine or book.

My inspiration board.
