A joyous celebration of all things boho in the hills behind the beautiful blue beaches of northern New South Wales. In a part of the country known for its lush greenery and laid back alternative lifestyle, it’s not surprising to find such a colourful, individual home. Stylish, fun, liveable and lively… and it once was a boring 1980’s brick bungalow. A home about personality and passion by Byron Bay based Alida and Miller.

Just when I thought I’d found my dream kitchen in the last post… well… truth is I’m fickle. Oh no I haven’t changed my mind about deVOL kitchens. I just have a new favourite kitchen that’s all. Traditional meets eclectic with touches of retro French and contemporary graphic tiles. And the colour? Stunning.

Clean, contemporary lines. Minimalist with muted colour palette. Of the moment but with the slightest touch of high 80s style adding interest. Richmond Residence by Harrison Interiors.

Oh my I’ve died and gone to kitchen heaven. This is it. English country kitchen perfection and… it’s a showroom. We all know I’m smitten by anything that deVOL Kitchens design so it’s no surprise that I have been following the fitout of their new Clerkenwell, London showroom on their Instagram account. Pink fireplace wall, handmade green wall tiles, bespoke cabinets in dreamy blue and copper pans hanging on a creamy tongue and groove wall. The little chandelier, majolica plates and vintage portrait are icing on the cake. I couldn’t wait for the showroom to turn up on their website. I just had to share their IG posts.

I recently found out about a great source of tile called Rustico Tile & Stone. They are a small, family-run company based in Leander, Texas (just outside of Austin). Not only are they the largest manufacturer for authentic Saltillo tile in Mexico, but they are also a leading supplier for Cement Tile and Cantera Stone. And the best part is they ship worldwide! I wanted to share some of my favourite patterns they carry and some inspirational photos of spaces with their tiles and similar ones.

I have to start with the cement tile because it is one of my favourite tiles and comes in such amazing patterns. I almost went with this type in my kitchen/foyer but in the end went with something alot smaller. I love the result but I am still dying to try some of these…maybe in my next kitchen. Their cement tile is reminiscent of older style encaustic tiles. Cement tile is available in many designs, shapes and sizes.  It is extremely durable, easy-to-maintain, and can be fully customized in colors specific to the space where it is installed.

I pulled out some inspirational photos we have featured previously. More reasons why these tiles are the best!
