Check open spaces for anthills, window frames for wasps nests, trees for termite nests, and sheds and trees for possum nests.

Bringing your bathroom back from disaster

If I had to say what my favourite room in the whole house was, I would have to say that after the bedroom (because of the sleeping, silly), it’s the bathroom for me. I love having super long, luxurious, decadent showers. I also have a collection of shower gels and soaps that many people would deem unnecessary, but then, I have no time for such haters in my life.

Shade Sails

Shade Sails (also known as Sail Shades) and awnings are a great solution for providing protection from sun, rain and wind in outdoor areas. There are many commercial properties such as cafes, pubs, clubs, schools, day care centres, hospitals and nursing homes utilizing their outdoor areas with overhead coverings and private companies providing outdoor space for their staff to use for coffee and lunch breaks. They are now also more and more homes and private residences with shade sails and awnings.

Finding your mattress match: warnings and wisdom from the experts

When it comes buying a new mattress, most of us don’t put much thought into the purchase beyond whether or not it feels comfy in the store. We might spend an hour or two bouncing gently on different products to test their firmness, but we rarely ask the important questions. This is why, every year, thousands of homeowners end up with a mattress that just isn’t suitable for their lifestyle or sleeping habits.

My project was a major renovation of the first floor of a 40-year-old beach house: a three bedroom, living/kitchen space & bathroom, hardwood frame clad in asbestos and sitting on a rendered besser block base containing a ‘granny flat’. I consulted with Paul Hindes of Soul Space and explained that I wanted to recreate a sixties-style beach house with a ‘modern twist’. Paul was interested to hear my ideas and what my ‘vision’ was for the project. A short time after our first meeting, Paul came back to me with a very comprehensive design of all the ideas I had provided to him. After mulling over the drawings for a few days I realized that I was probably being too ambitious with what I had initially envisaged. At this point I was worried how Paul would react when I told him I had changed my mind about a number of things on my wish list! He did not react negatively in any way but just explained this was all part of the process for coming up with the best design. I was very happy with his attitude. From that point on Paul adjusted the drawings considerably and was able to accommodate my ‘new ideas’ and come up with innovative ways of getting around using the space available to the best advantage. The design phase was completed very quickly as were the working drawings. Throughout the whole process Paul was always available to discuss finer points and make adjustments. Over the past six months, he has dropped in several times for a visit to see how the renovation has progressed (at no cost). Overall, I am extremely happy with Paul’s consultative skills and expertise in respecting my ideas and refining them into a workable and very appealing design. I commend Paul Hindes of Soul Space to anyone looking for a designer who listens, is respectful and does a great job!

We were to build a home on a sloping, sandy block with many restrictions. We contracted Soul Space to do a design for us. All ideas and drawings were delivered on time and they were always available to us for discussions. Not only were the designs artistic and sensitive but our ideas and concepts were always taken into consideration. We ended up with a lovely home, individual, practical and interesting. I would consider that we were mildly difficult clients. We would have no hesitation in using Soul Space again or in recommending them to friends
