VIDEO: Jen Bishop takes you on a tour of her kitchen

May 22, 2018 2 Comments

It’s been a few months since we finished our kitchen and I’m still completely in love! We have added a few things, like navy linen blinds, and my next project will be to add a bit more colour and a few more styling elements (that’s for another post!) because it still looks a little too much like a show kitchen (like that’s a bad thing?!).

There’s been so much interest and wonderful feedback on this room and we were over the moon to be featured in House & Garden as a before and after. But pictures only show so much of the overall picture so I thought I’d take you on a video tour to give you a bit of a better idea of the room. I hope you enjoy it.

As ever, if you have any questions about the reno or where things are from that I haven’t covered, please ask them below.

Read the big reveal blog post with photos.

We've entered an exciting phase in our home: non-s We've entered an exciting phase in our home: non-synthetic rug land!

With two young boys, I've always advocated for the synthetic and easily scrub-cleanable rug! Now they'reย a bit older and observing the shoes-off and no-food-in-the-living-room rules, I thought it was time! And I'm in love with our bold newย @castleryau Lorenzo Wool Rug.

You can't beat the luxurious look and feel of wool and I've also stepped outside my comfort zone with a design that stands out rather than blends in. Get me!

Can someone remind the kids about the keep-the-toys-in-the-playroom rule though?!

Would you be brave enough to go for a cream wool rug in your house?!

This rug is on display at Castlery's popup at Moore Park SupaCenta until October.

And all the other cost-saving tricks I used as well as everything featured with links, on the blog today.

Our bedroom isn't perfect. A bed under the window isn't ideal. We don't have a walkin robe. It's a slightly awkward shape. But I really feel I've made the best of it and love its fresh new look and feel!

So glad to swap the carpet for laminate too. Are you team carpet or team hard floor in a bedroom? Please comment carpet or hard floor below!

Floor to ceiling tiles are not the only option! I Floor to ceiling tiles are not the only option!

I'm actually a big fan of the contrast you can achieve by only tiling part way as @naomifindlayofficial has here in her Carrington House reno. And she topped them with an @intrimgroup chair rail to give a finished look.

      Roman blinds from https://www.blindsonline.com.au/roman-blinds You measure your own and they send them custom size. Amazing prices and very happy with the product. I went for midnight navy linen but I’m not sure it’s still in stock. Will photograph them and share them soon when I do the styling!
