OLIVE GARDEN
In a real old grande dame of a house, the ground floor kitchen leads out onto the garden and a covered patio, as well as an adjacent casual dining space and sitting area. The traditional- style fitted joinery is painted a beautiful deep green color reminiscent of park benches and leafy trees, and is smartly complemented by vintage light fixtures and patterned encaustic floor tiles that add to the room’s old-school appeal. Tip The cabinetry is painted in Garden Seat by Plascon (plascon.com), the cooker is by Bertazzoni (universal. bertazzoni.com), and the white glass light fitting is from Gilles de Moyencourt Haute-Antiques (instagram.com/ haute_antiques/). The contemporary sculpture just seen through the doorway is by salvage artist Philippe Bousquet, and is made from old car parts. It was sourced at Southern Guild (southernguild.co.za).
