“Could a tradie could SAVE your marriage!?” Really? How so? Hey, don’t get me wrong, I’ve met some good tradies across our reno projects. They turned up on time, did a quality job, they were fast, on budget, friendly, and on occasion - easy on the eye, but how that translates into saving a marriage is beyond me.

While we’re partial to a fabulous skirt in our wardrobes, like Erin’s one that broke the internet, we’re big fans of fancy skirts (aka skirting boards) throughout the rest of our houses too.

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.

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.

Have you ever seen a gorgeously styled home and then you get to the kids’ bedrooms and they’re a bit of an… ummm, well… #eyesore #bestclosethedoor?!
Not in Bonnie’s dream home! #nowayrose Once again, she’s knocked it out of the ballpark with her styling. This time with the bedrooms for her four boys. The kids love them as much as the adults… so, how did she get it so right?
