Concrete Interiors

Please don't faint, but my latest passion is concrete - concrete floors, concrete benchtops, concrete stairs!  For me, the look works best when combined with natural timber.  The juxtaposition of the raw, industrial concrete aesthetic against the warm, organic vibe of wood is so beautiful - they lend an authenticity that's difficult to match.  The kitchen above has the perfect combination of elements to create a contemporary rustic space that feels totally real.

Timber Obsession

I adore the raw, organic nature of rustic timber and the authenticity it introduces to an interior when used in unusual ways. Recycled timber for me is a thing of immense beauty - history cannot be immitated; it can only be impregnated over years and years of wear.

1. I love the width of the recycled wood paneling in this image - it adds warmth and accessability to an otherwise stark space.


2. Timber ceilings are a current fave! I can't get enough of them...

3. This timber wall mosaic made from scrap off-cuts is so crude in it's simplicity that I find it absolutely beautiful.

4. Is there anything quite as breathtaking as an exposed timber beam?

5. Kitchen cabinetary made from recycled timber is my idea of heaven... I can literally feel the smooth, waxy finish of the cupboard doors on my fingertips!
