Stories from Site - Renovation Podcast - An eye for detail: And why you shouldn't leave it all to chance
play

03/29/23 • 22 min

This week we talked with Jess, whose renovation of her one-bedroom garden flat became a springboard for her creative studio, King Celia Studio.
Having found that she either didn't have the budget for or couldn't find the interior fittings she wanted, Jess said about making them herself. The result is a playful and considered space.
We talk with her about the process of creating a bold but balanced look and how she worked directly with her contractor to realise the details she wanted to achieve.
You can find Jess on Instagram @kingceliastudio

This week we chat with Jess, who along with her partner Darius embarked on an 18-month process of completing the interior of their project themselves.

What started out as a necessity due to budget constraints became an expression of Jess's passion for interiors and design showing if you can't get someone to do it for you, then you can do it for yourself instead!

We talked to her about her renovation journey, the support of her family, and her take on creating a unique and beautiful home that comes from the heart.
