Chosen Building Material March 2013

Random Block Masonry & Timber Combination

I am currently working on my third year final project which involves the old slaughter house buildings in Abergavenny, South Wales, UK (pictured below) Now that I am working up close and personal with these buildings, I am trying to create a design that will appreciate the original features of the building including it's random block masonry walls.


I have always loved old stone buildings and hope that one day my own home will be an old building full of vintage and reclaimed goodies. I have created a basic mood board to demonstrate my combinations that I have recently seen against these building materials. I also have a bit of a love for battleship grey at the moment!


1. Chrome Overhanging Floor Lamp Absolutely love these lamps, so slender and sleek that gives a room that quirky statement piece it needs. 
(MyDeco Marketplace www.mydecomarketplace.com £121.00)

2. Worn Vintage Leather Sofa I can only dream of owning one of these sofas. The worn style has to be the best, it just begs you to sit on it! The hand studding makes it all the better. 
(The Leather Sofa Shop theleathersofashop.co.uk £1,180.00 - £1,330) 

3. Metropolitan Clock This clock is fab. It has the vintage but modern look with a black frame against a beige face and those hands in red really make it stand out.
(Amara Living www.amara.co.uk £199.00)

4. Mirror This mirror mimics those typical warehouse windows which I think would really compliment an interior that has an antique/reclamation scheme. WANT!

5. Timothy Oulton Chest WOW. I love this item! The brushed steel is what makes this chest so special. A great twist on an antique. 
(Home of Elegance www.homesofelegance.co.uk £2,050.00)

6. Home Cushion I really like these cushions that seem to have a 'home' everywhere in your house. I also like their handmade elements, such as the buttons.
