23.01.2022 Lest we Forget > Beautiful poppy artwork from @jiggerjagger.studio Remembering everyone who gave their all for us. Watched 'all quiet on the western front' last night & it reminded me firstly - of watching it in high school & 2nd how important it is that the younger generations always know the importance of ANZAC day.... I could never have done what that generation did. Poppies grew on the battle fields of Europe once the ww1 ended. And that's why we use them as a symbol of remembrance. x AKW #anzacday #lestweforget
23.01.2022 Before & After - Outside Refresh > Not a large space, but sometimes it's the small spaces that are the most tricky. Function, but also needing some beauty for the entrance of the house.... Unfortunately we can change our neighbours homes - so let's put in some breezeway blocks to draw your eye away from what's over the fence. We are leaving the spotted gum timber here untreated, so the red appearance will fade to a grey, just like a coastal wharf that was our inspiration. x AKW
21.01.2022 You wouldn't believe the before > Navy and white such a classic mix, and perfect for a Newport Beach house. Never mind adding in a porthole that was saved from a 1920's original that was being demolished at collaroy beach. ... Do you have a dream outdoor colour combo? x AKW
20.01.2022 The modern take on coastal > Extra wide white paneling in this kitchen fits the coastal brief with a difference. White streamlined handles let the stone bench & splash back take centre stage, without distracting your eye. With led lighting to highlight down the stone. ... This was an open kitchen that the dining & lounge area sit off, so it was important that the kitchen didn't contrast those areas also. All carefully created by @shwbuilding_construction & @taylormade.co x AKW
19.01.2022 Few & Far > Finally got to visit in the flesh one of my fave Instagram accounts & stores. @fewandfarhome both Huskisson & Berry stores... and they didn't disappoint.... Homewares & Decor dreams, and one of the best selections of coffee table books I have seen in a long time. One very happy shopper x AKW
16.01.2022 Welcome to 2021 > Thought I would stop by to say hello & welcome everyone to new year (that we have been not so patiently waiting for). We have high hopes for everything at the beginning of the year, making plans & promises.... If some of those plans include redesigning, renovating, refreshing or even rebuilding your home, I may just be the girl to help you. A few weeks stuck in lockdown over this festive period has given me the push to refresh some aspects around my own home & as always I'm singing the old song of 'why didn't I do that sooner'. Let's make 2021 the year of no more put offs - let's go get them! x AKW
16.01.2022 Outside package > Did you know I offer a service, designated to your outside area. I understand as Australians this is an area we love to utilise. Whether it be an alfresco area, a second kitchen, a second living, outdoor showers, new paths & fences, or you just need help designing the space with the best use of materials & function in mind, I can help with it all.... Find it under the services tab on my website - 'the outside refresh'. You can now also book your appointment time directly on the website too. x AKW
13.01.2022 Kitchen Design > Working on a kitchen design for #projectmanly & discussing kitchens with clients is always so interesting. I think everyone always uses & places importance different aspects in every kitchen.... Handles, push pull cabinets, stone, engineered stone, butlers pantry, sink position, gas, induction, integrated fridges, bar fridge... I can understand why kitchens are the most common room to seek help on. This kitchen from my husbands Balgowlah renovation, the use of those extra wide panels, and streamline white handles, completely changed this area & made it so unique and different, whilst speaking to the modern coastal theme of the house. x AKW
12.01.2022 Monday Mood-board > Starting things fresh on a Monday. Inspiration boards to chat through visions & plans with clients. Touch & feel the finishes that could be in your home. Part of every service I provide. ... x AKW
07.01.2022 www.akwdesignandhome.com.au > We are live! My beautiful website created by the highly talented @blondieandgingercreativeagency is up and running! Come have a browse of my services, hear a little about me, ask some questions & even have a little shop! (With more products to be added).... There are still a few little things to be added, but the main part - you can book any service you need now. Would love to hear what you think & hope you enjoy. x AKW
06.01.2022 Property styling > How wonderful it has been working with @avalonproperty styling some incredible homes. I believe property styling is about making sure there isn't a cookie-cutter approach. Each home needs its individuality, and it's own strengths.... People selling & moving has become even more important in these lockdown times, as home owners reassess liveability & locations & I feel very lucky to be apart of that process. x AKW
03.01.2022 Retro? Or Recent? > Everything that is old is new again Perfect for a girl like me, who loves tradition. Now do think this wall paper was new? Or in a glam 'renovators delight' type abode...... It was the latter - but gosh it would be hard to teardown wouldn't it. Just needs some beautiful white cane furniture or a white linen slip sofa in front of it, and could work a treat. x AKW
