Here’s a sneak peak of what is to come

And we’re off !!
I cannot believe my holiday is almost over, 3 more days and IDC will be under starters orders. Beginning to feel the pressure build as the days are getting nearer, a little like race horses lining up for the start of a big race.
2013 promises to be good, lots of exciting work to get on with, new buildings to design the interiors for and one to install very soon!
Isn’t this building fabulous ! this one will be completed towards the end of this year, long way off yet, but will start detailing this as soon as we are back.
Restaurant at Mote
This is the quiet time I mentioned in yesterdays post, lunches all tidied away, tables reset and waiting for the evenings reservations. This is the Restaurant Mote which we completed back in the summer.
Calm descends
Chinking cups and the clatter of plates die down, papers folded and discarded, everyone journeying back back to their abode, staff having well earned rest after a busy day. A the sun goes down a calm descends and Yao managed to get over to Mote House and take some photographs when it was quiet, or should I say in “lull” before the restaurant opens. This building is 18th century built in the typical Georgian proportions, a wonderful space to work with
Before and After
what a transformation, Mote House at Bearsted. A before and after shot.
Still awaiting some more images of the rest of the house, the Library I particularly like
BEFORE
AFTER
finished at last !
Another project successfully completed by Inside Design Co, Tunbridge Wellls. This project took a long time to come to fruition but it’s finished at last. Set in the Derbyshire Dales its a real treasure………
This last week has been a real push, made much easier by such a friendly team helping us, always with a smile. Hours leading up to launch somewhat frantic, but it all came together in the end.
One very happy client thankfully
Here are a few last minute shots courtesy of Yao photography
More to follow when we visit again
Not long to go now
This is our next project nearing completion, a large victorian house with a central galleried staircase. Its been slowly taking shape these past months, pool and spa wing almost completed, main house due in next few weeks. Hard to believe with all the scaffolding up, that it will all come together , but slowly sections are being revealed. Unlike the last project panic stations right up to the last moment, this project, although only 8 days to carry out the installation, feels like it will be finished at handover. Keeping our fingers crossed
Here are some before images, wont be long and I will post the completed project hopefully
This project has been keeping me busy !!
this latest project, a beautiful Georgian house completed last Friday. This has kept myself and the team at IDC extremely busy over these past months. Fabulous 18th and 19th Century oil paintings really make this space, beautiful gilt frames set against the grey walls. All the detailing, limestone floor, lighting, furniture, carpets, sculptures all carried out by us. Not only in this room, but in all the principal areas, Library, Morning Room, Bistro Bar, Restaurant and spa complex.
The image her was captured at midnight on the eve before the launch, what a feel of calm and quiet, its do difficult to believe that these past 3 weeks on site have been absolute mayhem. What a contrast !
More pictures tol follow soon
another dash of turquoise
Fresh from the pages of Rue magazine
A wonderful eclectic mix including my favourite turquoise
Aside
Friday…………..
Mmmm its Friday, a day that marks the end of a weeks worth of drawing, researching, doodling, designing. These past months have been hectic, 7 day weeks and loads of deadlines to meet, this weekend is going to be all mine, time to spend time in my art studio and create for me !!
One of the most enjoyble parts of designing interiors is choosing the pieces to give spaces that certain something. Whether it be a pair of huge 6′ urns, a bronze sculpture ( stags recently!) or prized objects created by artisans and destined for huge acrylic display cases. Tin robots in a variety of colours and shapes and sizes is another appealng theme that has caught my eye recently too. Displaying mono coloured themes also, all shapes, sizes and themes all bought together by colour is another way to make a statement.
Have a good weekend everyone
