Polo Home (Dining Room)

So after a quick detour to do the master bedroom and en suite I moved back onto the main floor and tackled the dining room.

The drapes were a little on the heavy looking side and the light fixture dated the room.




Not really as much of a drastic changed needed in this room, just a little decluttering, a neutral paint colour and some updated light fittings.



The room looks lighter and fresher with the colour scheme and without the heavy valance.
I am looking for a table runner to complete the look.



I love the silver light fixture and how it compliments the picture and the new curtain pole.

The small unit at the back of the room changed sides and I have added a gorgeous new lamp.
I am very pleased how this room looks now and am now going to move on to the adjoining living room.

Polo Home (en suite)

Next on the list after the Master bedroom was the en suite.
As we are decorating to sell the flowery country style was going to have to go.

This room just needed some spa like accessories to freshen it up, a new shower pole, new curtain rings and waffle texture shower curtain.

I spray painted the existing wicker shelf and added some candles and folded towels.
I decluttered the counter top and purchased beautiful bamboo bathroom accessories.

To finish off some matching waffle texture towels and a fabric print art piece which brings in the colours from the bedroom.

Polo Home (Master Bedroom)

My clients were going away for a few weeks and had been living through the decorating so far. I knew this would be the ideal time to tackle the master bedroom.
Plus I was excited to think that when they came back it would be a nice surprise!


The wallpaper border and swag over the window was just not cutting it anymore, it was time for a change.

I also was looking forward to giving them so beautiful bed linen and changing the two large pieces of furniture around. It's a big room but was a little dark due to the colour and the chest of drawers in front of the window.
...........................................................................................................................................................
I decided to go with this beautiful light reflecting colour, it's called white Satin by Benjamin Moore (As you can see it's actually a light blue colour).

The bed linen was ordered and made within a week in this gorgeous cream colour with beautiful detailing. The lamps are to die for, they are modern yet elegant.
I opted for pull down blinds and sheer curtains for the window treatments.


The contemporary artwork balances out the rest of the traditional decor.

Another gorgeous lamp on top of the chest of drawers and this great mirror was a find in another bedroom and was sprayed silver.
My clients love the room, in fact they thought it was so nice they could not even sleep in it the first night as they didn't want to make it a mess!
I love that they love it, because I love the way the room turned out too!
