FRONT YARD The east-facing verandah is the perfect place
to sit with a cup of tea in the morning, says owner Celeste. The
fire pit, meanwhile, comes into its own in the evenings. Celeste
made the coat rack from recycled timber and brass hooks.
When she’s not in the surf, her boards make colourful decorative props.
The peacock chair, stool (right) and rugs were all secondhand finds.
STUDIO Celeste works on a jewellery design in her new north-facing
workspace, which contributes great light and air to the creative process.
