In the days before “Le Creusette” every self-respecting Victorian housewife longed for pewter!

Pewter is a grey, metallic alloy of copper and antimony. It was used to make household objects like vases, bowls and wine goblets.

The 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗼 shade 𝘗𝘦𝘸𝘵𝘦𝘳 has a soft metallic shimmer and is one of the texture heroes!

🫣Peep inside a new project…

This home renovation on the Lakes Road in Wilderness showcases some beautiful curves, soft colour palettes and natural wood details.

We love the way that created an inviting and homely interior with repeated arches and inviting outdoor spaces.
