ISLAND DINING IN THE HEART OF THE HOME

We always say that โ€˜the kitchen is the hub of the homeโ€™ but this kitchen truly is the beating heart of this home and the star of the show is the island bench.

EXTERIOR SPOTLIGHT | ITโ€™S BOARD & BATTEN, BABY!

Did you see the gorgeous Linea Weatherboard on the Pool House exteriorโ€ฆ โ€œanother weatherboard build, we heard you say.โ€ So, prepare to be surprised when you see the exterior finish for the main house because thereโ€™s no weatherboard in sight - itโ€™s board and batten, baby!

This iconic duo gets its name from the wide panels (boards) with narrow, vertical strips (battens) placed over the joints of the panels to create a geometric, layered effect.

EPISODE FOUR | HOUSE 13

Hot on the heels of our Parents' Retreat, we're ready for a BIG reveal this week.

We'll start outside with the facade before stepping on to the front porch for more tile goodness, then move through the entry into two lounge rooms and the dining room. #itsabiggy

Louisa and her family love to entertain and thereโ€™ll be no shortage of places for friends and fam to sit, chat and relax in this home!
