As another year comes to a close it's fun to look back at everything we achieved this year.
As we have been renovating and updating our home for the last 5 years, this year was more of the same. Ticking off jobs that have been on our list. I also added a few new furniture pieces for a fresher feel.
Some of our tasks this year included...
Redoing our backyard with fresh artificial turf, resurfacing the pool and retiling the surrounds. We removed the cabana and put new fencing and greenery up. Everything feels fresh and new, all very low maintenance and it has inspired us to spend more time outside.
Next on our list was choosing a tile for the floors. We have had the white floors for the last 10 years and it was time for a change. We chose a beige tile that has added some warmth to the rooms.
Some of my new furniture pieces...
New dining chairs, the colour and leather add some warmth and texture.
Loving the chunky travertine plinth coffee table, it's size is perfect for grounding the living room
Our gorgeous marble console table
A darker walnut buffet/storage and travertine coffee table for the sitting room.
Simon and I love sitting in her on the weekends with a drink listening to records and having a chat.
I redid my gallery wall. It's so lovely to have the family photos out again. A mix of old and new.
A new neutral artwork over the bed
My favourite fuzzy chair and marble side table
So it has been a mix of big and small changes but they have all been considered choices that reflect our taste and stage of life we are at now. Who knows when they will evolve again but it has been fun to switch things up a bit this year!
Next year we have one more job booked in with the kitchen being renovated. It's the same floorplan but more integrated appliances and a modern streamlined look.
I will keep you updated! x
