IntroducingFranklin eLocal’snew columnby Helen ShawOur consultantswill visit your homewithin 72 hours.RING NOW!5 Smales RoadEast Tamaki09 913 31100508 736682w w w . b a t h r o o m d i r e c t . c o . n zSHOWROOM& DISPLAY AREAPATUMAHOE0 8 0 0 7 7 6 2 8 4www.probuilt.co.nzWelcome to my very first column for eLocal. It’s very exciting to behere and share my design knowledge with you!Just a little intro:Having completed my training with Sylvia Sanford and discoveringI had an addiction to houses and design, I set about finding a positionin the work force to satisfy this. I took on a position at Levenes as acurtain consultant to broaden my knowledge and to indulge in mylove of fabrics.An opportunity then arose to join Resene Paints Ltd. This leadto a long partnership with the company as a consultant and in amanagement role. Needing more time to devote to PicturebookInteriors, I joined the team at Midas Tiles on a part time basis.This gave me the time I needed and the opportunity to broaden myproduct knowledge in another field.A little villa attached to the church at 12 Wesley Street inPukekohe became available for rent at the same time as I was lookingfor a permanent home for Picturebook Interiors. I instantly fell in lovewith it, rented it, and was astounded to find it was in near originalcondition. Slowly but surely the renovations are proceeding.I am very fortunate to be sharing the villa with two wonderfulladies, Barbara and Maxine. Barbara has been creating andmanufacturing curtains and blinds for a considerable number ofyears, both in the UK and New Zealand. Each commission she takeson is treated with the utmost care and attention and the look of thefinished product is the main driving force behind her passion. MaxineMcCort, a massage therapist, sub rents the original parson’s study.The ambiance of the villa drew her to it, and she and her clients agree,there is something very special about 12 Wesley Street.My passion is colour, fabric and texture and making something wonderfulout of nothing. This has lead to presenting seminars for Resene at theAuckland Home Shows on colour and design for the past two years.I am also a consultant to the Property Profilers. They gave me aninteresting consultancy at a Kohimaramara home which was to besold at auction and was in desperate need of a little TLC. This lead toan item on TV One’s close up programme which showed the housein its very raw state and again after its ‘makeover’, highlighting whatto do when marketing properties for sale. I had my knowledge of TVbroadened. We filmed for several hours for it to be squeezed into two5 minute segments!Each month I will be covering a different design topic. We willalso have the ‘Tip of the Month’ and a ‘Tricks of the Trade’ section.I would love readers to send questions to me via email - all questionsand answers will be personally answered and posted in the blogsection of my web site. I will then select one question a month to befeatured in eLocal.Till next month, take those fur throw rugs out of storage, investin a new minkie blanket and curl up with a great magazine, one onbeautiful homes of course, and a box of delicious chocolates.Enjoy!
