Summer Loving:  Firepits!

9/22/2014

0 Comments

 
With summer approaching it's time again to ( at least in our home) to start looking at our outdoor spaces again. And how we can LIVE in them. Every year we dream about adding a FIREPIT!  There’s something about sitting around a fire being mesmerised by its flickering flame, the sounds of  summer nightlife chattering in the background….

Someday soon we will do our own,so watch this space for our redo.  In the meanwhile
we’ve found some inspiring spaces around the www that we would would love to hang out in. Also please find our pinterest board for some more inspiration if this is the project you are choosing to do this summer.

Some ideas to consider for your own firepit:

  • Try to have a designated space for this- not in and amongst your garden furniture/ braai equipment or pool loungers. We love the idea of a hidden nook in the garden or  a step down into a firepit area. Much more of an intimate ambience and character never mind practical.
  • Seating arrangements: things can get pretty heated up close! so create enough distance whilst maintaining proximity to other people.
  • Timber supply, be careful what timber you burn. Some timber may have chemicals and are most certainly not suitable for burning!

There really are no rules as every home is different , just love your home and let it keep inspiring you!

Are you planning any firepit projects this summer or have you done one of your own? Please share your ideas with us here email us (info@timbertrends.co.za ) or sahare on our facebook page.

time for a makeover

9/16/2014

0 Comments

 
Always evolving and trying to never stay static. Mostly trying to be true to our slogan: setting the trend.

We felt it was time to change up of our website.  We want to be increasingly image driven and super easy for our customers  to navigate and use. To be more interactive and share more of who we are.



On that note, after browsing our site please comment and let us know if you didn't navigate easily or something wasn't working. Anything you feel would be helpful to building our goal of being interactive and an easily navigable website. In short- if you had to think too hard to find what you are looking for we haven't achieved our goal on this site. So let us know :)

Other than our website makeover there are a few things to look forward to in Timbertrends.

- The launch of our maintenance side. Not only have we been increasingly involved with maintenance, we are adding value to our customers by giving back up service and advice with our maintenance. Contact us for a consult or quotation.
- Inspiration and more inspiration. Dazzling design and more.
- A series on our favourite projects over the years; so you can have more information on some of the spectacular homes featured on our website.
