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.
Read MoreNow that we've revealed all of Bon's house, many of you have been asking what to do with your Monday nights? #greatquestion We have the answer! We've gone back through our archives to pull out our favourite Three Birds TV episodes from previous renovations. It's been so great looking back at these very different projects and even picking up on where Bon may have got some of her inspo for her Dream Home.
Read MoreWow gang, we can hardly believe it, tonight’s episode is the GRAND FINALE of Bonnie’s Dream Home reveal! Episode 9 is now live, featuring the front façade, barn and garden 🏡And that special moment we’ve all been waiting for when Bon’s family explores their new home #makesitallworthit #homesweethome.
Read MoreThought you’d seen it all when we revealed Bonnie’s bathroom tiles? No siree! She was only just getting started. Bon’s gone to town in her laundry and powder room with an extravaganza of tiles in all colours, shapes and patterns.
Read MoreFrom our extensive survey (sample size of three!) you’re either a laundry person or you’re not. I’m a laundry person, Erin’s a laundry person ... Lana is not. She’s a workaholic (just not the domestic type!) so in her forever home she used the space that could have been a big laundry as a butler’s office instead #eachtotheirown.
Read MoreOK gang, if you thought you saw a lot of tiles in Bonnie's bathroom reveals... be prepared to be blown away this week. There's a tile party going on... and you're all invited!
Watch Bon do away with any 'rules' of how many shapes, sizes, colours and patterns of tiles you can use in one room. She's thrown caution to the wind and gone a little cray cray in her powder room and laundry. How many tiles is too many? #youbethejudge
Read MoreGuys, 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
We know how you guys love a chat! So much so that sometimes we’re totally bombarded with questions on social media. We promise we try to answer but it’s not always easy to explain the juicy details when typing with fat fingers in a teeny insta comment.
So, we asked you what you wanted to know, and these were some of the questions that kept coming up….
Read MoreYes, yes it's true - most of the rooms you've seen so far in Bonnie's Dream Home have been a tad biased towards the adults in the house. But that's not because Bon built a home just for her, Nathan and their friends. No way Jose! This home truly is a family home and tonight's room reveals prove it.
Read MoreSome wise soul once said “never work with animals or children” – fair point I say!!! The mere thought wreaks havoc with my clean freak brain. But Bon’s a braver girl than I and happily welcomed Australian House & Garden magazine into her dream home to shoot the cover and feature article for their July Winter edition.
Read MoreHow do you create a coastal lifestyle when you're nowhere near the coast?
Rule #1 - create water views ... from every room
Rule #2 - strategically place palm trees ... like they were chess pieces
Rule #3 - hang a floating day bed .... for that Mrs-Sippy-Bali-Vibe
Rule #4 - create a white-out .... to rival a blizzard at Thredbo
Rule #5 - make sure there's enough seating ... for 200 people
Oh là là! I could rave about French doors for days. I’m a massive fan and stick in them in everywhere I can. They’re a lovely design feature and look trés chic in almost any style of home. #sofrenchrightnow
French doors, by definition, are ““double doors with glass panes throughout their length” #thanksgoogle. Those gorgeous ones that you can push open together to maximise the double doorway width, or keep one closed to control the amount of breeze coming in. The glass panes filter light into the area, unlike traditional wooden panel doors. Not only do they look amazing, they’ve got far more to offer than just being easy on the eye.
Read MoreOk gang, if you're looking for some door inspo #whoisnt, Episode Four is for you. It's a total French-door-athon! Bon has loved French doors since our very first reno and has put them in almost every Three Birds renovation since .... so when it came to her Dream Home she really unleashed the beast but this time, with a twist.
Read MoreC'mon gang, we all love master suites and the idea of creating the ultimate parents retreat sits atop most people's wish list when renovating their dream home. So we're super pumped to share with you some master suite inspo for the ages.
Read MoreI first fell crazy in love with Woodcut’s totally gorgeous flooring when we used it in Lana’s Forever Home. Her floors look bloody amazing and I knew I needed them in my dream home too! I love the romance of real timber floors and these engineered timber boards are just perfect because you get the look, but they’re also easy to install. And they’re pre-finished so don’t need polishing after installation - just walk right in! #easypeasylemonsqueezy
Read MoreAnd I’m not talking ‘do re mi’ kind of sing, I’m talking the belting out 80s rock ballads at high volume! #livingonaprayer #eternalflame. This kitchen is the heart of Bonnie’s dream home and it’ll definitely make you want to dance on that stage she likes to call … an island bench. I mean really, you could host Theatresports on that thing!
Read MoreThe rumours are true ..... we're revealing Bon's Dream Kitchen this week! It was just too good to hold back. Kitchens are the heart of the home and Bon has literally plonked her huge kitchen right in the middle of the house, making an almighty statement with a 5x2m island bench #thatsnotatypo.
Read MoreWOW!!! Who knew that one green wall would send you all into such a spin?! Was it because we all know our Bon just loves a white wall? Or was it the fact that it was GREEN? #maybethegrassreallyisgreener
Hands up if you didn’t even think you liked the colour green until you saw THAT WALL #pickme!
Read MoreGorgeous peeps, we’re still buzzing from your overwhelming response to the first big reveal of Bonnie’s dream home! #allthefeels
How AMAZING is her Granny Flat… more aptly renamed the ‘Guest Cottage’? Who wants to move on in? It may be small on space, but it’s seriously big on style.
