Front Guest Room - Accessories

It is time to choose accessories for the front guest room, so far these are definately being included:

Port Hole Mirror

 - available from Journey Home contact 02 6156 2379 or email nadine@journeyhomeonline.com.au

Brass Jars
 - available from Journey Home contact 02 6156 2379 or email nadine@journeyhomeonline.com.au

I am also on the hunt for Bahamas Inspired art such as this water colour by Frances Schultz.

I might use this print I found at the Rocks Markets in Sydney.
Would love to find a home for these colourful postcards from my last trip to Spain. (Mr Journey Home shall we call him,  is Spanish)


I found this great little feaux bamboo picture frame at Down Memory Lane Antiques, Fyshwick ACT.

I will change the cushions around regularily but here are two I hope to use at some point.
Linen in gold and brown. It's subtle and works against the navy bed head.

Seagulls

I use either ready made cushions or  custom made cushions in client projects, depending on budget and necessities.

Front Guest Room - Flooring and Furniture

Starting at the bottom.


I will be working with the dark timber stain I've used throughout the house. I am custom making this trellis patterned carpet rug in an off white which is made from recycled plastic water bottles. It is extremely stain resistant and surprisingly affordable.

Time Tip - Custom made rugs take around 12 weeks no matter which supplier we use so if you are decorating for a special occassion it's another reason why it's advisable to book us in allowing time for bespoke options.

I've selected the following furniture items from the Hamptons, Carribean and even French styles to add to the British colonial feel of the room.

Fully upholstered twin bed heads in navy blue velvet with brass studs.
Extra wide bed side table with feaux bamboo details and brass trims.
Black stained timber mirror.
Versatile French style bureau provides both desk space and drawer storage.
Simple desk chair that is quite modern for a little balance.

Even if you are not a client of Journey Home Interior Design you can still access this great furniture through Journey Home contact us on 02 6156 2379

Lighting is like jewellry for your room.

Here is what I intend on using in the British Colonial style guest room.

The fan light like those at the Raffles Hotel in Sinapore adds to the British Colonial theme and helps our climate control for the hottest room of the house.
Quirky desk light
Reading lamps for each bed.
Georgous glazed lamp with linen shade.

All the lamps can be purchased through Journey Home to make enquiries telephone 02 6156 2379 or email nadine@journeyhomeonline.com.au
