Block party

When we featured Bryony Webster and Johnny Scholtz’s Melville home in our June 2018 issue, their kitchen cupboards were off-white. Soon after, Bryony jumped in and started a quick kitchen renovation with a pastel palette – and just look at the dreamy results! In three days, they transformed their kitchen with a few (carefully applied) licks of paint.

Bryony was inspired by an image of a 1960s colour-blocked kitchen she spotted online. “People either love the cupboards or they think it’s too much. Mostly, they seem to like them,” she says. “I’m a maximalist and a ‘thrifter’, so I’m always picking up bits and pieces from second-hand shops which I use to add to the layers in my home.” Bryony created a digital mock-up of the space to plan which colours would go where before they started painting – and the results speak for themselves.
