The stairwell spruce up & Basil the Gazelle finds a home
Over the holidays we completed many projects, one was to give our stairwell a spruce up and find Basil the Gazelle a home......Yes a Gazelle a home - for Christmas my adorable sister gave me this ceramic Gazelle head. We picked him up on a trip to the Sunshine coast & he traveled back to Sydney with us by aeroplane (he is a well traveled Gazelle).
So Basil came quite plain and white - I didn't think that it would be fitting for such a beauty to be washed into our bright white walls, so I set about making him a glamorous home.
Very happy with the stair project & I think Basil likes his new home!

Love it, very cool! xx
ReplyDeleteBasil looks gorgeous. Great diy on the frames and what a coincidence with the light.....happy accident I say. Love the Lindens.
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely. Were the lights hardwired? Do you have a link to those lights? They are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLooks great, I love it and very clever. I'm loving Basil, great name by the way!
ReplyDeleteThankyou everyone,so happy with how it turned out, I love looking at it every time I walk up the stairs.
ReplyDeleteThe lights are hardwired, we put a splitter (what you use when you want to turn one light into two) the wall light was sourced from beacon lighting (P.S I love this...) here is the link http://www.beaconshop.com.au/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&sku=20168&category_id=8&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1
