Interior Design Interview, with exclusive photos and more...x

Interior Design interview!

Including exclusive photos and quotes!

Hello everyone, my apologies as it seems like it has been forever, but we have been very busy in the VCR office, so tired from everything, it will all be worth it though!

A couple of weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to visit a local Norfolk interior designers home. As usual I wanted to share my experience with you!

The house went through an amazing transformation in little time, I was amazed by how quickly it all came together.

I took some photos to share with you, in hope that you can see the amazing interior mind behind this creative, spacious house as much as I can!

This house once had a very unpractical layout, but now it is a wonderful spacious home!

The house has been completely turned around, what is now a gorgeous kitchen/diner was once where the staircase sat, smack bang in the middle of the room and it had many unneccessary door ways, some leading to the same living space! The stairs were completely knocked down, and moved to a more practical area of the house, this created a great sense of space. 

*Picture of the Kitchen/Diner not available , sorry for inconvenience*

As you enter the house, you are greeted by a lovely living space. However this was not once the case, this room went through a transformation, particularly pointing out the gorgeous fire place, which clearly went through a gorgeous re-vamp.

Throughout the house there are fabulous touches that really give it that artistic edge.

This rooms clever layout, makes the most of the space.

I love this wardrobe! Has a lovely element of Shabby Chic to it.

Front Door , from the inside.









There are 2 bathrooms situated in the house, one main upstairs and then a convenient wet room down stairs, believe it or not however this wet room was once nothing more than a coal room. I simply love the use of the plum colour!

Everywhere you look a sense of adventure and flavour comes out of the house, there is a wonderful selection of abstract paintings, bursting with passion , and also pictures representing loved memories.

This is not only a stylish HOUSE to be proud of but a sentimental HOME bursting with personality down to the very last minor detail.

Here are some  features in the house!

Moving on upstairs it only gets better, where the stairs originally would have came up to is now a gorgeous master bedroom, with the wardrobes really making the most of the space.

Just Lovely!

I simply LOVE the bathroom, the featuring colour is simply gorgeous, it has the simplicity of a normal bathroom but has that extra touch of glam brought in by the dainty and detailed mirror. Just an amazing piece.

                 In Love with the bathroom. Inspired me!


Upstairs also, is a guest room, which is practical, simple and just lovely, lucky guests is what I would say!!

You think all that is lovely, well I have saved the best part of the house till last... the Glorious garden, such a lovely place, so relaxing and peaceful, but full of energy and laughter too. You can see there is real consideration behind the garden layout, especially to enhance the wonderful views.

Stylish Chicken coop!

 Gorgeous Flowers!

Lovely Landscape!

  Wonderful Details!

                  

House, from the back! Gorgeous patio area!











How long did all this take , I wonder? 

The house was brought by the designer on the 29th of November 2012, Builders where in by the 5th of December. Including a 3 week Christmas break for everyone, the house was ready to move in by the 1st of March 2013. Although at this point one or two appliances in the kitchen weren't quite ready to use.

I just can't believe how quickly it all managed to come together! It really was designed by a very careful and keen eye. 

The designer says "I love living here" and also passionately claims, that to her she sees her house just as her home.

It really is a gorgeous home and a house to be proud of, this house is the perfect mix, having the best of both worlds!

Many Many Thanks to everyone who helped give me the opportunity to be able to write this article.

Me and The Interior Master Mind!

The Classic 1940's!

Hello All! I hope you liked the Photos, but it is time for another weekly interior Blog!!

We went to the Vintage fair on Saturday it was fab and later on this week we shall share our day with you, when we get the chance to! So keep Checking!!

Today we are traveling back to the good old 1940's , I simply loved the Kitchens in this period, full of bold colours and shapes! There was always one significant colour that stands out from the rest of them, often taken from the primary colours, Red, Blue, Yellow! Lets take a look at some typical gorgeous 1940's styles...

Here are some Classic kitchen Units , you can find some separate standing ones in antique shops today!!

The dominant colour here is Blue! Just Look at the classic Curtain drapes, so sweet, they just makes the room along with the gorgeous patterned flooring.

Another Primary colour for a dominant stand out bright colour! 

This one has a dominant of Yellow , and is cleverly tied in with hints of yellow, the space in this kitchen is cleverly used and the shape of the room really gives it that extra edge!

Here is a more modern version of a 1940's kitchen, notice the glass bricks on the counter, a cutie classic there!!

A gorgeous example here, just gorgeous!!

Well there you have it some cute 1940's Kitchens, the 1940's was a dramatic time as i am sure you know as World War 2 took place in the first Half of the Decade and The second half of the decade was spent putting it right!! So they did well to have made such Lovely , cheerful, inspirational Kitchens!

Spring Cleaning With a Twist!! x

Spring Cleaning with a Twist!!

Spring has arrived! The season of new life , the season of a fresh start! 
Everyone has a little spring clean around this time of the year, but why just clean why not add a splash of spring here and there a little outburst of light and colour!

But what could you do, to add some spring enthusiasm to your rooms! Well there is the easiest center pieces of flowers! Flowers are so under rated you don't need to buy a permanent center piece sometimes a new colour is nice it gives a fresh open look. A little change is something people notice and can enjoy without it being overwhelming! There is no need to re-decorate every year, your house can be an on going project, but sometimes that little burst of energy can put a smile on a face! 

There are so many to choose from and they don't break the bank either , they are just as i like to say "That cute little touch" http://www.vintagecountryrose.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/that-cute-little-touch.html - Check out my other articles!

Flowers can make the feeling of spring i don't know what the weather is like were you are but i know here in Norfolk it looks like it is still the middle of winter outside and it feels like it too. However it is almost Easter!!

You can incorporate flowers into accessories and cute little touches already in place , like this magnificent bird cage for example...
 This is a really sweet bird cage , and the flowers are the icing on the cake they may not be real but they add to it to make a welcome and relaxing atmosphere!

Of course, having real flowers is a real burst of energy, well that is if you can remember to keep watering them, i know how hard it is to look after plants sometimes! But nothing bad ever comes out of trying haha! 
Check out these lovely , gorgeous flowers that deserve pride of place in any room...
 
These are an out burst of colour and energy to lighten up any room in an instance!


you can incorporate flowers into accessories to last all year round as well like this for example...

This is a gorgeous and detailed floral heart that adds a sense of welcome and sweetness to the home!

Oh Flowers they are just the best! You can do so much with them , they are probably one of my favorite sources of decoration!! So fresh and bright and energetic! They always make my day!
