The greenhouse: A chic eco retreat
Living room
Rich parquetry flooring and feather-filled velvet sofas add a touch of traditional luxe to the vintage-chic living room. Standard floorboards were eschewed for a show-stopping surface constructed by Williams And Campion from recycled fence palings – it’s as stunning as it is sustainable. Amber pendant lights bought for a song from Geelong Restorer’s Barn add a soft glow in the evenings.

Dining room
The communal dining table was bought from Industria and is surrounded by replica Tolix chairs from Sokol. The eclectic mix of lights and vases were all secondhand finds.

The dining room’s wonderful storage unit came from an old dormitory at Geelong Grammar School and was picked up on Ebay – with worn scribbles from past students still visible on the timber.

Dreamy, one-of-a-kind recycled doors made from coloured etched glass were a lucky find at the Williamstown demolition yard. The tall blue basket was discovered at The Amazing Mill Markets.

Hallway
The soft and serene hallway’s simple composition of textured whites and greys, teamed with a pretty recycled console, is proof-positive that a relaxed palette can pack a decorative punch.
