SUPPLIER VISIT 090818 - Archant

Heritage Hardware rebranded to Archant earlier this year and on the 9th August I went and checked out their brand new showroom in Parnell.

Spatial Studio the designers of the showrooom have created such an amazing space. There are these 2 cool little circular meeting spaces as well as other meeting rooms along the back of the showroom. The repetition of the circular shapes is seen in the (gorgeous) mosaic-ed half columns on the bottom level as well as at the reception desk.

Having large samples of a large selection of their engineered stones and laminates as well as sinks, tapware and handles the Archant showroom is a fantastic resource for designers.

I always come away so inspired from supplier visits like this one. From a little green marble knob I envisioned a master bedroom colour scheme. Green patterned laminate samples and chromed detail handles became a retro styled family bach....if there's something that catches your eye in any of these photos let me know :)

Birthday Weekend booked!

In case you didn't know, the Mr and I share a birthday. Yup, lucky huh....hmmmm. He likes it, I don't! I think your birthday should be all about YOU and it's hard to have a day all about yourself when you have to consider that it's your partner's birthday too. I mean who makes breakfast in bed?! Anyhoo...

So for the first time ever we have booked to go away! We're heading to Rotovegas and I'm super excited. I haven't been to Rotorua since I worked for Mico Bathrooms waaaaayyy back in the day. It was a flying visit and we didn't do any sight-seeing. So it's been between 12-14 years!

Oh...and we're not taking the kidlets. Thanks Mum & Dad!

Super excited about staying at the Princes Gate Boutique Hotel, check it out. Look at that historic facade. I hope it lives up to it's old world charms!

So far on the agenda (because I'm a planner)...

  • The gondola and Luge (never been on the Luge!)
  • Dinner out somewhere on the Saturday night - our actual birthday
  • Visit some thermal activity sites...I really want to see bubbling mud...is that weird? haha
  • Walk around the Goverment Gardens
Any other recommendations for while we are there?

See how cool does this look?! The colour, the patterns and texture...love!
