This week we're stepping into the hub of the home, the kitchen... and this one's a goody! We've created our first two-tier island bench and added some hidden features for a seamless finish #peekaboo.
If you love a good laundry room, get ready for some eye candy. We went for function as well as beauty, with loads of storage and a floor to die for.

We always say that ‘the kitchen is the hub of the home’ but this kitchen truly is the beating heart of this home and the star of the show is the island bench.
Louisa had always dreamed of a statement island bench, topped with gorgeous marble-look stone and this one is unlike any other we’ve done before. It needed to be taller than standard to cater for Louisa’s taller than average height, have the induction cooktop contained in the island (big tick from Erin!) and be two-tiered with the cooking area up top and dining table below.
If you’re planning a full reno of your backyard, or just want to zjoosh up your home’s rear exterior cosmetically, these are some of our favourite features that will help transform any alfresco area.
Holy Mother of new builds, the time has come for the FINAL EPISODE of our #AustralianStaycation and we couldn't be more excited to share it with you.
Tonight we REVEAL the rear exterior of Louisa’s home #finalpieceofthepuzzle before we recap the entire project and you’ll get to see the happy family in their new home.
We’re all lining up to be the first guests to stay at Lou’s place… and you’ll see why when we show you her guest accommodation. The dreamiest bedroom leads on to the dreamy guest bathroom, complete with double showers. Lucky she’s added enough wardrobe space to let us stay for weeks #winkwink
When your boys are besties and want to sleep not just in the same room, but in the same bed, why not throw them in together and create a ‘Boys’ World’? #doubletrouble
Tucked away at the end of the hallway, the Boys’ World is a special zone just for the boys of this house, with their own bedroom, bathroom and loft. We wanted to make this a space that they’ll love now and in the future. Here’s how we added some wow factor:
When you step through the double doors at the end of the hallway it’s almost like you’re entering another world. Dun, dun, duuuun…. it’s the ‘Boys’ World’!
This zone belongs to the two boys of the family and we’ve put their bedroom, bathroom, wardrobe and a loft together to create a space that’s just for them. They’re only let out for meals. #jokes They only WANT to come out for meals!
Did you see the gorgeous Linea Weatherboard on the Pool House exterior… “another weatherboard build, we heard you say.” So, prepare to be surprised when you see the exterior finish for the main house because there’s no weatherboard in sight - it’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.
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 there’ll be no shortage of places for friends and fam to sit, chat and relax in this home!
When you have the luxury of size on your side and love to entertain friends and family, like Louisa, multiple living spaces are a fab feature on your floor plan.
We’re massive fans of open-plan living for the way it brings families together so, we loved Lou’s vision of creating two lounge rooms that flow on from each other, without being separated by doors.
