It’s time for South Australia’s Lisa and Andy to hand over the keys to their self-described ‘1970’s nightmare’. I thought this was a pretty good reveal! They even manged some herringbone floors. I loved the main bathroom and the kitchen was cute, but did not like all the fake greenery in the bedrooms. What is […]

Lots of space in this home and plenty of places to hide if you need some peace and quiet. The kids seem to have their own ‘wing’ with the activity room and their bedrooms closed off to the rest of the house. Bed 2 has its own ensuite and Bed 3 and 4 share a […]

If you watch those American reno shows you’ll notice that they are a big fan of painting an old tired brick facade. It’s actually a really great way to bring an ugly, boring home back to life. I’ve also seen a few painted brick homes popping up around Wagga lately. It’s an inexpensive and pretty […]
Liven up that work or home office with a few indoor plants that will be hard to kill (I know, it’s still possible!). These plants are pretty good in low light, don’t need a lot of love, will clear the air, plus bring you good vibes… Peace Lily A nice colour and leaf shape with […]
