MAKING A STATEMENT NEW KITCHEN FOR AN ENTERTAINING FAMILY

Guy and Jules Sebastian are a stylish power couple who need no introduction within the landscape of Australian music and entertainment, as well as philanthropy.

They’ve been friends of Freedom Kitchens for several years, and through The Sebastian Foundation, they work together to renovate kitchens in local shelters and refuges, creating brighter spaces for people in times of need.

Having previously designed a kitchen for the Sebastian’s own former holiday home in Gerroa, Freedom has now unveiled all the details of their brand new Freedom Kitchen in Maroubra – which is on a whole other level!

As one of the most important rooms in the house, the vision for the kitchen space was to create a sleek, open- plan centrepiece, in keeping with the ultra- contemporary style of the entire house.

A key feature of their build is the atrium, which floods the kitchen and living area with natural daylight, and the design of the kitchen needed to draw upon the benefits of this to full effect.

Guy’s brief to Freedom Kitchens Friday, July 19, 2019

was to bring this aesthetic vision to life, whilst ensuring their kitchen has the most functional and efficient layout for their family.

For their appliances, Guy and Jules had a few extra pieces to fit in than the average family kitchen.

“THE END RESULT IS A STANDOUT KITCHEN”

They clearly take their food and wine seriously, as a full-size wine fridge and dedicated dry- aged meat fridge was on the list. Other major appliances they had chosen included a large French door fridge by SubZero, plus two ovens and a cooktop range by Gaggenau.

Plenty of storage, especially draw-

ers, was important to Jules, whilst keeping the look of the joinery sleek.

Guy and Jules were also set on dark and contemporary cabinetry, to complement the other urban industrial type materials planned for the space, such as concrete floors and walls.

The cabinetry was meticulously measured to accommodate their fridge with a completely flush finish, along with the side by side ovens. Their wine fridge and dry-aged meat fridges were given prominent positions in view from the dining space, to showcase them as talking points when entertaining.

The stunning centrepiece of the kitchen is the statement island bench, which has been designed to be as long as possible within the space. Measuring in at a huge 5.6 metres long, it features a U-shaped overhang to allow seating not only on the long side, but also around both ends, seating up to 12 people – the ultimate entertainer island!

The surface chosen for the island bench to present a raw industrial edge is Caesarstone’s Rugged

Concrete: a durable engineered stone which features beautiful grey textural patterns, and a rough matte surface.

On the other side of the kitchen, Caesartstone in Jet Black has been selected for the rear benchtop, matching beautifully with the Supa Black cabinetry above.

Accessing the vast butler’s pantry is a design highlight. There is a hidden door at one end, and a second concealed entrance behind pantry doors in the middle of the kitchen, eliminating need to walk around.

With its lofty high ceilings, atrium lighting and urban industrial appeal, Guy and Jules Sebastian now have a stunning statement kitchen which makes the most of their architectural vision.

The scale, tones and textures used in their kitchen creates impact which could have been lost in this space if it wasn’t designed to have such presence. The end result is a standout kitchen fit not only for fabulous entertaining, but also for creating special memories, as the heart of the home for this beautiful family.

DRY CLOTHES IN STYLE LAUNDRY SOLUTIONS FOR A COLD WINTER Winter is setting in and as we come in from the cold and rain, so too does our laundry.

Unfortunately, this leads to cranking up the heat and endless tumble drying to get wet clothes ready to wear.

Investing in a well- designed drying rack will guarantee you can dry as many clothes as possible, efficiently, with however much space you have. While a drying rack is an essential winter item for any household, everyone has different needs, from a single person in a small studio, to large families with mountains of washing.

“We all have our own style and it’s important to get a clothes airer to match. Consider the length of the items you often dry, dresses and trousers will require more hanging space, so a unit with wings will be handy. If you have young children you will want more closely stacked racks to cope with lots of smaller garments,” said Natasha D’Cruz, Hills Product Manager.

“One easy way to extend the space on your airer and get clothes dry more quickly is to use hangers.

This is a real time saver, especially if you wear a lot of dress shirts, as you can put your clothes straight into the wardrobe.”

Laundry specialist, Hills has created a range of innovative laundry solutions so you don’t have to loath your laundry. These trendy units will not only look great and save you cash on your bills, but effectively and naturally dry all your washing.

The options include space savers like the Premium A Frame Clothes Airer ($49) or the 3 Tier Premium Mobile Tower Airer ($59, pictured), or slick and stylish solutions like the Premium Drying Centre ($109) or the Premium Extendable Airer $39).

Products are available across Bunnings Warehouse, Mitre 10 and Home Timber & Hardware.

SIMON’S HOUSE

WINDOW TINTING WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT MAKES!

SIMON STEVENSON SIMONSHOUSE.COM.AU

I’ve lived in my house for 10 years with a whole wall of east facing windows. The summer heat in the room, even with blinds, was unbearable from first thing in the morning.

I was getting my car windows tinted one day and spoke to Mal from Forest Window Tinting, he suggested getting my house windows done. I did a year and a half ago, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made!

I can now have my blinds open all day long and enjoy the beautiful sunny days!

I went with a reflective tint which has also given privacy during the day, the living room is bearable and my energy bills have been reduced.

Even if you have blinds or curtains, the heat gets in the room, but tint stops it at the glass before it gets in! Did you know that the windows and glass in your home are the biggest source of heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer?

In addition to saving on energy bills, there are many other benefits to having your windows tinted,

like protection against glare and heat. It’s a whole lot easier to see my TV now too! Protection against sun damage and fading for your furniture and floors. And added privacy is definitely a bonus. With so many films available, there’ll be one to suit you.

Clear tint offers protection but still allows you to keep your view, so there’s no change to the look of your home. Security and safety films help protect from break ins or severe weather by helping hold the glass together, making it stronger and less likely to shatter.

Reflective and frosted tints give you more protection and privacy.

You know what THAT means? You can dance around to ABBA and the neighbours won’t complain!

Stay warm this winter with a quilt for all occasions Let the team at Somethings Country help you style your bed and keep you warm with a selection of French Country Quilts. Available in all sizes.
