HOW TO STYLE YOUR LOUNGE ROOM FROM TOP TO TOE

6 May 2021

Do you have Champagne taste on a prosecco budget? #ustoo

We hear you, gang! Sometimes when we’re renovating it seems like there’s a constanbattle against the budget, but when it comes to styling your home you don’t need to fret.

We’re big fans of freedom for furnishings because they’ve got a huge range of gorgeous products that won’t break the bank.

Watch how Bonnie styled the lounge in House 9, from sofas to sideboards, console tables, rugs and ba-zillions of cushions, we found it all at freedom.

We both love beautiful interiors and we want them to be used and enjoyed by friends and family, the more the merrier. Lana will tell you this is her worst nightmare in her shoe-free home, but what’s a few muddy feet between friends! #orchocolateonthewhitesofa

SHOP THE LOOK: MY "NORTHERN BEACHES COLLECTIVE"

3 July 2018

I’ve always had a soft spot for the coast. Some of my fondest memories are of family holidays spent at the beach. And there’s no denying that those times had a big impact on my inspiration for my dream home. Even way back then I remember looking at all the big, white, coastal homes and thinking they were so beautiful. My dream home was always going to be white weatherboard, with palm trees, water glimpses and casual furnishings with pops of luxe.

MY TOP TIPS FOR CREATING AN ADULTS RETREAT

14 June 2018

Guys, it’s this simple... ditch the TV and the kids will be out of your Adults’ Retreat faster than I chug down my first coffee of the day. Believe me, you’ll have the room to yourselves in no time! #funnybuttrue

The only problem in my house is that my husband’s not that sold on the no TV idea either. And without him, the ‘Nathan and Bonnie room’ becomes just the ‘Bonnie room’, and where’s the fun in that? Actually, don’t answer that – sounds like plenty fun to me 😉What’s he not getting about that amazing Spanish Door print (link) where the TV ‘should’ be? And what about all the D&Ms we could have lying back on those dreamy sofas sans TV blaring… #notgonnahappen

SUPERSTYLIN' THE MOST USED ROOM IN OUR HOUSE

30 May 2018

The main living room is always going to be the most used room in our house. It’s a gorgeous open space, surrounded by so much natural light. Yeah, so much that my Mum insists on wearing her sunglasses while she relaxes on the lounge.

I wanted this room to be totally casual and inviting, but totally chic. Think relaxed but luxe… that’s a thing, right? Let’s call it ‘re-luxe’… sounds a bit like reflux. Urgh, no. But you get what I mean! This room needs to be comfy enough to relax in but durable enough for boys of all sizes to throw themselves on the lounge, put their feet up and relax while we watch a movie.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT WHITE PAINT FOR YOUR PROJECT

It’s official! Our most asked question, like EVER, has got to be:

“Which white paint colour shall I choose?”

Great question! But, to be honest, there’s no set-in-stone answer. Call me horrifically biased, but Dulux White on White for interiors and Dulux Snowy Mountains Quarter for exteriors, like we used at my place, are two of my faves.

WHAT'S YOUR TILE STYLE?

What does your choice of tiles say about you? Are you confident to push the boat out and make some big, bold choices? Or do you prefer to keep things safe and practical?

Me? I’m all over the shop! But the beauty of my job is that I get to choose so many different tiles for our renovations that I can change my tile style all the time… as long as it matches our vision board.

GOING GREEN NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD

To be quite honest, I thought Sophie had gone completely mad when she told us the location of the land she’d bought to build her dream home. Aaah, where? Doesn’t she know our ‘T minus 5 minutes’ drive’ rule to get coffee? Where’s the closest sushi joint?
