Townhouse life

Down sizing from a house with a big garden into a two bedroom townhouse not far from the beach on the Gold Coast was a liberating choice. Weekends spent pulling weeds and mowing lawns are now spent walking the beach and riding my new wheels...a bright pink pushbike around the big park opposite. I sold most of the furniture that filled the house and took only what I needed to fill the new small digs.I kept to simple navy and white with splashes of green and turquoise....it's a happy little space now with my funky restored furniture, 2 bedrooms upstairs and a cute courtyard garden out the back.

The living room was in good condition with white floor tiles and a fresh paint job...easy just add a navy modular lounge and a few bits and pieces and it was good to go !

Second job was to take the kitchen from yuk brown laminate and tiles to white with navy accents, new timber bench tops and a paint job for the cabinets. All done for under $500.

The informal dining area is a cheerful space with an old whitewashed table and 4 IKEA hacked chairs re-covered in beach house navy striped fabric

This old sideboard with bright artwork fills a blank wall space

The most important thing on the checklist when looking for my townhouse was outdoor space, I was delighted to find this one had room for my pots and old recycled table and chair setting for 6 and was undercover for year round alfresco dining

The bedroom and guest bedroom upstairs have been kept simple in shades of blue and white

Happy town house living !

Welcome to Funkin furniture

White sideboard

 

I restore old timber furniture, bringing it back to coastal here on the Gold Coast in Australia. I find old pieces with good bones and lovely legs that burst with love and character after a makeover and a new purpose. From first sight I can see the finished project, the after photo and how the piece will fit beautifully into someone's home. I'm drawn to the fresh look of white timber pieces for the coast but also love bringing natural timber features and introducing colour to suit the piece !
