What an opportunity, to spend a night in a Summit display home!

Last Friday night my good friend Zoe, The DIY Decorator, & I got to experience the ultimate girl’s night & spent the night in the Industria Display Home, by  Summit Homes Group.

Designed & built by Summit Homes in 2016, this incredible, industrial inspired, home instantly captures your attention & stands out, for all the right reasons, amongst the other houses in the street. The Industria is perfectly suited to a 15m wide block & offers 221sqm of living space. With 4 spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a media room, an open plan kitchen / living area, with the most amazing exposed beam raked ceiling, a huge walk in pantry & scullery, this home definitely ticks all the boxes for a modern family.

The Experience

To be given the opportunity to spend 24 hours in a gorgeous display home & take a closer, detailed look into our builder, Summit, was an experience I will never forget. When Zoe & I arrived at the Industria display, located in Baldivis, Perth Western Australia, we were both so excited & were dying to tour of our new home, well our home for 24 hours.

Walking through into the entry, you instantly feel a sense of grandeur & space, the artwork & furnishings, chosen & styled by La Vie Perth is perfectly matched to the modern, industrial vibe of the home.

  The master suite, my room for the night, was one of my favorite spaces, with the exposed brick feature wall, raked ceiling & sliding barn door that opened up into the dressing room & en suite.

The quality of the build & the attention to detail throughout the home is exceptional. I loved the seamless look of the Summit Superwall & am so glad we decided to use this in our build.

The kitchen & living area were the highlight of the home for me, with the island bench & feature ceiling being the heroes. The design & layout flows perfectly & having the scullery & walk in pantry tucked behind the kitchen is ideal, especially for those of us that love to entertain.

The Style Studio by Summit, Zoe & myself wanted to share this experience with our social media followers & give them an insight, not only of the home, but of the fun we were having during our stay. We took our followers on a Live tour through out the property & answered the many questions we received.

(To take a look at the behind the scenes footage, head to my Instagram page Stilettos_and_bricks & check out the highlights tab)

Since our stay, many people have asked if the house & experience exceeded my expectations? It certainly did, without a doubt, not only was it something that very few people get to do, but it also confirmed, even more, that Adam & I have made the right decision with choosing Summit Homes as our builder.

Imagine having all of your pre start options right in front of you to feel the textures, see the true colours of each item & put everything together to see the big picture, all in the one space! ……………Well, our builder Summit Homes Group, has made this a reality with their recently launched Style Studio.

The Summit Style Studio

The 800 square meter Style Studio is incredible. Offering a wide range of interior styles & expert advice. This amazing space makes life so much easier when it comes to choosing the selections for your new home.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Style Studio a few weeks ago for the first time & I was in awe of the incredible experience it offered.

When you first walk through the glass doors of the Studio, you are greeted with the kitchen designs to your left, so chic & modern with smoked glass splashbacks & the most amazing rangehood hanging above the island bench & to your right is the reception area.

Walking on you see the start of the selections boards, with the various light switches & power board options. Then it is room after room of taps, basins, toilets, slabs of beautiful marble, door handles, cupboard doors, window treatments, shower heads……everything is right there for you to touch, no more looking at a folder & choosing your finishes from a selection of pictures that are no bigger than a post it note.

The studio has a complete theater room, various bathroom designs & they even have a play room to keep the kiddies entertained while you browse.

For me, I found the exterior selections areas to be the biggest help. I had been struggling to decide on our render colours & what to use on our feature column, seeing everything together in the studio made our decision so much easier.

If you live in Perth, definitely take some time out & drop by for a visit to The Style Studio

The Summit Style Studio is located 242 Leach Hwy, Myaree WA 6154 Phone: (08) 9317 0100

That Ugly B Word.......

That Ugly B Word…….

Yes, now to that ugly B word………….Budget!!!! Boring…………….

Adam would say I have no understanding of the word Budget. He often reminds me that it isn’t my sole responsibility to keep the Australian economy going strong by shopping up a storm. I have never been very good at sticking to a limit or budget………until now of course, right babe? if you’re reading this Ads xxx

Obviously when building, things…

Choosing our Builder

We have all heard horror stories about builders, blown out budgets & jobs left unfinished. Let’s face it, choosing the right builder is one of the most important decisions you will make on your house building journey.

When Ad’s & I first set out to find a) A house design we both loved & b) A builder. We really went in blind. I’ll admit it, in the beginning we didn’t realise how valuable it was…

After searching for the perfect block of land to build our new home, for what seemed like years, we finally found this gorgeous block by the beach in Secret Harbour, a suburb of Perth.

So here it is, our soon to be, new home location, 748sqm of gorgeous dirt 😂

A little about us……………..

I’m Em, a thirty something year old Product / Interior stylist, I do tend to lie about my age, so much so that I have literally confused myself with my actual ‘real’ number, so thirty something it is! I live in Perth Western Australia with my Hubby, Adam, our gorgeous 10-year-old daughter Ava & our 2 cats, Wong & Walter.

Adam is a Business Improvement Manager in the Oil & Gas industry & works mainly in the City. Ava is in Primary School & I work as a stylist. I receive regular DM’s on my Instagram page @stilettos_and_bricks asking the meaning behind my business name, Stilettos & Bricks. I am a lover of high heels shoes, in fact I only own shoes with heels, even my trainers have a wedge heel 🙈 You can imagine how utterly ridiculous I look walking around a building site, surrounded by tools, bricks & portable potties, sinking deep into the dirt in my inappropriate, high shoes! Hence, Stilettos & Bricks was born………. Stilettos & Porta Loo doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Ad’s & I have been married for 11 years & this is our first build together, we have only ever brought established homes before. So fingers crossed this build has a happy ending & isn’t a remake of the War of Roses!

Our Block

I will be documenting our entire building journey right here, the good, the bad & the ugly. So buckle your seat belts folks & get ready to travel the Building Journey with us, Stilettos & Bricks Style.

Until next time, 💖 Em xxx

Just unpacking Ava's back to school stationery order and Madam Ava has informed Adam & I that she will be needing her own Microsoft Surface Book, like Dad, now that she is going into year 4 of primary school 😫 She also added that it needs to be hot pink with lots of bling!!! #didyougetthatmicrosoft #goodluckwiththat #keepdreaminsister 😂 OMG..... I have created a mini me monster 😄
