French Style In New Zealand

French Style In New Zealand is currently all the rage. When I landed in Auckland earlier this week and was looking around the Efex New Zealand Web site. I don’t know how I missed this post from last year but I did…. wow when you see the use of Efex here you will love it.  So with apologies for not posting this months ago here is a great post from Efex in New Zealand.

A Blast from the Past, Part 1

I recently had the privilege of being invited to a new friend’s house to have a look at some of the work she’s done using Efex Appliques in her home. Let’s just say I was blown away!! One of the best parts about this job is seeing the amazing things that people create with our products.

With Sharon’s permission, I’m sharing with you some of the beautiful pieces that she has created over the years. Sharon has been using Efex for quite a few years now, so this was indeed a ‘blast from the past’. Each piece was lovely and fit perfectly into her gorgeous home.  Sharon shared four pieces in all and I will add them to this page over the next week — I’d hate to reveal everything all at once!

This first piece is actually two…these black tin vessels have been transformed from simple to sophisticated with a few different Efex styles. While they’re currently being used as some of the world’s fanciest rubbish bins(!), they would be beautiful for displaying flowers or nestled next to the fireplace holding pinecones.

Sharon used Pediment P12N (P15 in the US and Canada) and an older style drop similar to D4. Sometimes a different look is just about using the mouldings in a different way. By turning the P8N pediment ‘upside down’ and using it as a swag, she’s achieved something just a bit different.
