familiar and lived in,” she says.
Much thought was put into making
the house as easy to live in as possible.
The cabinetry in the kitchen features
push-to-open mechanisms, the pool
pump is operated by remote control, the
lights are fitted with dimmer switches,
there is ceiling surround sound and all
the showers have built-in seats. “We
love our shower. The view brings nature
right inside,” say the owners. Comfort
was also a priority and bedrooms feature
upholstered headboards and inviting
sitting areas.
“The secret to a decor scheme that
has longevity,” reveals Margaret, “is a
neutral palette to which you can add
small, simple splashes of colour using
items that are easy and inexpensive
to change.”
