This is my daughters bedroom. Believe it or not she asked me for a Mexican bedroom last year. Of course it’s got all the extra bits and pieces a 10 year old girl would add. I found the image of the donkey on line and the vintage frame at our local carbon market. Sarape bed spread and some Mexican heart mirrors i brought her home from Mexico City a year and a half ago.
1. Colour-coordinate your power pointsWhite power points are often the colour of choice for electricians – and therein lies the bane of my design existence. With their glaring contrast, white power points against a non-white backsplash or joinery of a different colour detract from its beauty.Fortunately, you can avoid this dilemma by coordinating your power points with the colour of your backsplash or cabinets, as shown in this kitchen. Most good electricians can source power points in complementary shades to avoid a colour clash.
Shrubs are essentially fruit that is either macerated, juiced or pureed then added to apple cider vinegar with raw sugar and herbs and then fermented. The mother culture of the apple cider vinegar preserves and fortifies the mixture and the result is a probiotic cordial full of vitamins and whatever benefits each of its ingredients impart. My shrubs are heavy on fruit and herbs heavy on flavour. I don’t put out any flavour unless it’s really distinctive and impressive. They’re not just infused vinegars- they have depth and panache as botanical sodas or in cocktail mixing.
