Keeping it simple is what the owners of this New Zealand beach house wanted to
achieve and I think they have done so. The site is hiding behind the sand dunes
with sweeping views towards Kapiti Island.
The casual style of this home is designed with small dwellings to feel like camping
with the main pavilion having the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, the second
with 3 bedroom and the third dwelling as guests accommodation.
|maybe this could be for me, haaa | Now you get the idea of this beach house, lets have a tour and sneak around.

I love this casual style, what an amazing space.
dreaming of a holiday! and sitting in that window sitting area reading a book.

Enjoy

if you are like me and love to revamp furniture you already have,
grab a paint brush and start painting.

revamping with colour can transform a room and make it feel fresh
and new. I have picked some great paining ideas below and you don’t have to limit
yourself to furniture!

Nothing is safe from a colour transformation!

maybe all you need to do is repaint an old chair?

add a colourful touch to your wall for a cheerful feel to a room |for summer|

surprise the neighborhood with a new coloured door |colour will make it easy to find you|

don’t limit yourself to just one colour |three adds more interest|

always love to be different ? | this is perfect, I think |

So, no matter your style, a new season always makes you
feel the need to add different colours into your home
|don’t you think?|

They say ‘change is as good as a holiday’…
So if you can’t go for a holiday, lets
redecorate your home.
I am a huge fan of ‘change’ and every chance I will
restyle, redecorate and repaint my home.

I have picked some images below that will help you get in the mood for
some redecorating that can be achieved over a weekend
{or if you are crazy like me, one evening!}

repaint! beds, walls and bedroom furniture

add shelving on a wall {simple}

place coloured chairs around your table and shop for kitchen accessories that
match

paint a door and add wall paper ~ think of bright and bold
and add more relaxed wallpaper

collect objects with different textures, sizes and shades and create a
wall display

just add pillows
{my fav for an instant change}

DIY new bed head from crates and new bed linen, dress up your side table
{this is perfect for a weekend DIY}

 OR just add flowers !!
Simple, stunning and perfect for all spaces in your home.
