Room tweak

 Room tweakMy neighbors, Deborah and Roni decided to renovate one of their apartments which had not been touched for 30 years. After gutting the place and adding all new features, windows, kitchen appliances, window treatments, you name it they did it, it still needed that “lived in touch”. I call this process “room tweaking”.

Shown here is a photo of the newly finished study before the “tweak”.

The challenge was to make this room feel “lived in”. After spending so much time and money on the overall renovation , this couple was ready for some bargain shopping. We started the search for room accents at the “Shuk of Pishpeshime”, Tel Aviv’s premier flea market near the old port in Yaffo. We found this danish antique desk at “Vintage” for 700NIS. Good start!

After a few more visits to the flea market, Ace (silk pillows) and Home Center(sisal floor covering), we finally achieved the look and feel we wanted for a very affordable price.

Tip: Deborah went the extra mile and had some family generated art framed nicely at “Touch Wood”, a framing shop in Tel Aviv. This finishing touch made all the difference to personalize this space.

The bathroom was already beautiful in all white. All it needed was a few “tweaks” to make it feel alive. Deborah added the colorful towels and on my suggestion for good “Feng Shui” the round mirror above the sink.

  1. So- should we assume that both Shira and Pati live in ZY? Or in other words- is the apartment for rent in ZY?

  2. Shira Abel Shvo Says:

    Shira lives in ZY, Patti lives in TA (where the apartment is) and yes, the apartment is available for rent. :)
