MOODYSHADES

Heidi introduced accents of deep colour to create

both a dramatic backdrop for some of her rustic

furniture and vintage accessories and a contrast to

the white palette of her interiors. She painted the

guest room bedhead in Leaden by Porter’s Paints,

which contrasts beautifully with the neutral shade

of Gaiety Tan by Taubmans on the wall.

WHERETO SOURCERICH NEUTRALS
Bring an earthy relaxed feel to interiors with shades
ranging from soft browns to more grey-toned beiges.

REPURPOSEDSINK UNIT

Embracing the non-fitted style of her kitchen, Heidi

decided to keep the quirky workbench that the

previous owner had adapted for use as a sink unit.

To recycle an antique table, sideboard or desk in the

same way, ensure that it’s structurally sound and seal

the wood with varnish. Baskets on shelves below or

a rustic curtain will help to conceal pipework.

WHERETO SOURCERUSTIC WORKBENCHES

Search vintage shops or reclamation yards for suitable

pieces, or browse sites such as Pamono or Vinterior.
