OK, I have had a thought in the back of my head for a while about the impact gift wrap can have on the Environment. If you’ve read any of my blogs over the years I often rant about Christmas, and how damaging it can be. Personally I know recyclable paper isn’t that exciting, and any quirky paper is well over budget. So why don’t … Continue reading Wrapping paper reimagined
Creating the right environment / ConceptConsidering what you want your bathrrom (or any space) to be is an important starting point for any design. I had decided that this space was to be my ‘Calm’ space for relaxation & wellness after a busy day at work, where I could close the door & be at peace.
