How lucky are we to have one of our super talented clients, Jem Crestani of Enhance Home Styling totally makeover our reception area. Collaborating with other creative locals, Jem totally transformed our front office and we would encourage you to contact her if you’d like to improve the look of your residential or commercial property.
Twelve months ago, I approached my accountants, Hales Douglass, and asked them if they would be interested in updating their reception area. My brief to them was simple - to create a sophisticated, modern environment for their clients to wait in, which was calming but engaging. And so, the journey began. Paint colours were selected to replace the yellow and maroon colour scheme. New furniture was chosen from Pacific Furniture Ulladulla, and a contemporary rug and side tables were purchased.Next, came the update to the benchtop - Laminex White Valencia Diamond Gloss. We had this made in a nice, thick profile, and it looks amazing! Thanks to Simply Benchtops in Batemans Bay. An adhesive wallpaper was applied to the front counter by Steve Shipton at Signtext.The concept of using local images for artwork in the reception area was important to Hales Douglass, but an update of the satellite image of Ulladulla was required. I commissioned photographer Tim Taplin Photography to work his magic with his drone, and he surpassed all expectation with three amazing shots - this one here is the headland at the southern end of Racecourse Beach in Ulladulla. It is just so dramatic, and quite different to the traditional aerial beach shot. The two other images he took were of the lighthouse and the local sea pool.A beautiful pendant light from Temple & Webster in aged brass was installed and the high windows on the wall behind the reception desk were treated with a opaque film to make the florescent lights in the boardroom less obvious - thanks again to Steve from Signtext. A new "Hales Douglass" logo was lazer cut, again, by Steve, to match the font of the existing business cards used by the firm, bringing everything into line. I customised the letter "D" with products by Porters Paints to resemble the same aged brass finish of the pendant light. Thanks to the team at Inspirations Paint Ulladulla for your advice here!Finally, thankyou to Hyams Florist for working with me to come up with the amazing floral arrangement for the front desk.So, a big THANKYOU to Juanita, David, all the team on reception and the rest of the firm, for allowing me help! It has been such a rewarding journey, and many lessons learnt along the way! A glass of champagne to mark the completion of the project last Friday was definitely in order! Cheers.
