Interiors expert, Dee Gibson showcases her outstanding skill and style in the Windmill Penthouse, central London using real Lego and reclaimed pieces from churches, farmhouses and vintage yards
 
Penthouse apartment above iconic The Windmill Pub, Black Prince Road, London 

• The whole floor was built brand new but she wanted it to look like it had been there forever

• Dee's company is called Velvet Orange and she persuaded the owner to have a her signature colour in the flat, in the form of a stunning bright orange Smeg fridge!

• The hexagonal tiles were reclaimed from a French farm house as she wanted hexagons, not squares

• The door is made out of £800 worth of REAL Lego

• The interesting cupboard is made from church doors

• The lights are reclaimed from vintage yards

• Part of the brief was that he wanted bottle green tiles, so Dee put them very stylishly in the bathroom. The basin sits on top of an old fireplace heath that a joiner put together, this gives it a real aged look

• The kitchen units are made of chocolate leather and the over has an antique mirrored splash back

• The rest of the area is made up of steel and concrete whereas the pub, The Windmill, is very oldy worldy and quirky with lots of nooks and crannies so the flat above reflects this

• Dee feels that this pub will be a landmark and had the brainwave of getting a graffiti artist (Stickman) to come in the dead of night to create some outside art

• The project took about 6 months from start to finish
