Project: Do Wood Sustainably

dining room view rear entrance view

There is nothing like a hardwood floor, matched to the existing house by using secondhand timber and then sealed with a non-toxic water based sealer. No polyurethanes here. Period lighting features compact fluorescent light bulbs and any new skirting, architraves or picture rail is pine (not MDF).

The doors were sourced from a demolition yard and are perfect for this room opening onto a rear deck. As part of our service, Construction Queen scours through demolition yards and find the right pieces to fit within the design. The gas fireplace keeps the room warm without the pollution of an open fireplace.

A light and airy dining room featuring a window re-used from another room of the house. Our clients have opted for heavy drapes and pelmets that will keep them warmer in winter.

The benchtop and shelving unit is definitely for the lovers of solid timber. This is second hand black butt, skilfully remachined and created into an eye stopping feature in the kitchen.
