MEET & GREET
Andra (office coordinator at a dental practice) and Andrew Rapley (teacher) and their cat Monty.
THE PROPERTY
Two-storey, three-bedroom new-build in Tauranga.
DINING ROOM
The dining space is crisp and modern, with a timber dining table made by Andrew contrasting with the sophisticated polished concrete floors. “We don’t have toddlers anymore,” says Andrew of this much-loved material choice. The bench seat is another favourite feature, combining useful seating and three big drawers of storage space.
UPSTAIRS LOUNGE
Furnished with their comfy old modular sofa and boasting prime views of the city lights, this living area is one of the couple’s favourite places to sit. The wall sconce was salvaged from Andrew’s late grandmother’s house for their previous home, and now this one.
PANTRY
The walk-in pantry continues the dark and sophisticated look of the main kitchen, with black Melteca cabinets.
