MY DREAM HOME OFFICE

My home-office in the attic has been a project in progress
for the last two years. The quotations I received for the 10-step staircase
have been mind-boggling. So over the last weekend I built it myself and...
Ahah! My staircase is neither rackety nor too bad looking.

Now I am ready to take on the room. The walls need to be plastered and the electricity straightened up. The phone works fine. And the window garden is its saving grace.
For now, I am dreaming about the final look.

I like formal offices.

Black and white rooms are okay.

Maybe something pretty?

Naaah!

New Project

Perfect inspiration for our second bathroom upstairs.
Having all appliances and utilities on one side gives a streamlined look.

Another colour palette and style which matches our general black & white and brown theme.

Those white enamel buckets and waste-bin look perfect for a small room.

Azure Blue and Chocolate Brown

Our home is mostly brown.

Brown walls. Mahogany, teak and rubberwood brown.
Brown cushions. Brown shelves.

Wood carvings.

Brown Brown Brown.

And they say the easiest way to lift the doom and gloom of brown
is to bring in the colour of the skies and the deep blue seas.

Azures, sapphires and aquamarine.
