One of the reasons I’ve been busier than usual of late (aside from juggling a baby and a growing business!) is that we recently completed a very cool interior styling project over in New Zealand. This stunning 5 bedroom home overlooking the spectacular Tuki Tuki River and Te Mata Peak in beautiful Hawkes Bay, was actually completed 2 years ago although unfortunately wasn’t fully decked out on the interior front.
I spent a fair bit of time sourcing products in Australia that could be taken over (Hawkes Bay is a regional area so not a great deal of choice or options in terms of interiors), then numerous busy days in Hawkes Bay trying to source remaining furniture and decor items, getting lights relocated and installed, doing floral arrangements, plus styling and assisting the photographer over 2 days. So, I thought i’d share some of the professional images with you.
Some of the furniture were from a beautiful furniture & interior store, Madisons, in Napier. Cushions for the sofa and window seating were from Pottery Barn in Australia (yep, I lugged over 12 large cushions!). Cushions on the window seat are by Artwood, available at Panache in Hastings.
The stunning Antler light came from Restoration Hardware in America. Dining table was custom made and the linen dining chairs are from Madisons.
This stunning outdoor setting (including the chandelier) came from Restoration Hardware. The owner flew to America and had several containers filled and shipped over to New Zealand.
The very cool kids bunk room features linen by Wallace Cotton (you can see our post on Wallace Cotton here ) and includes a double bed below one of the single bunks. These built in bunk beds were all custom made.
The pool house or 5th guest bedroom with it’s own ensuite. It is completely separate from the house.
Stunning American Oak flooring throughout. Mirror from Freedom in Hastings. Console, table lamps and pendant light from Restoration Hardware.
This home is just as spectacular at night.
