Above & Below. 70' Yellow glass panels in the cedar front door were replaced by clear pebbled anti-shattered glass - for a lighter, more contemporary whilst remaining private - look. A over sized textured tile [laid in a diamond pattern with boarder] in stone cream was chosen for the front door entry way to prevent carpet becoming instantly soiled when coming in from the verandah.

Image Above & Below. The Antique Chaise lounge was re-upholstered in a herringbone macro-suede in China Powder Blue with matching braid trim for finishing. The shade of this blue [with a grey base] fabric make the antique timber [red base] appear richer and more sophisticated.
