If you ask me what I’m passionate about, I’m quick to rattle off “my family (including #befreythebunny), my work… and my pool”. Yep, that’s right, I’ve always been slightly obsessed with my pool. Looking down on it from my office window always makes me feel happy and relaxed and it’s the first place my family and I escape to for R&R together.

I'll be honest and say that our home entertainment system was the last thing on my mind when we renovated my family home. Choosing a TV to mount on my beautiful new wall was waaaaaay down the bottom of my To Do List. In fact, it wasn't even ON my list.

YAY! And not only are we revealing my Santorini-style kitchen but also an innovative new room that I guarantee you've never heard of before! This room was a must-have in my "forever home" but if you Google it, I promise there will be no results... except for a random business in New Mexico that happens to go by the same name ;-)

Ever had to make a BIG decision? One which keeps you up at night... I remember Bon once saying she knew she'd made the right design decision once she could sleep at night.
Every reno has its BIG decisions and my forever home certainly had its fair share! Some decisions feel really easy and others really do keep you up at night.

Press play on the image below to watch the episode and see Bon utter those exact words. I know, I wouldn't have believed it either if we didn't have it on tape. Don't miss it... this may well be the only opportunity in your lifetime to see such a thing #lanawasright #halleyscomet.
The living space/media room on the middle level was a tough nut to crack from a styling perspective. We chose the gorgeous teal couch (from BoConcept) very early in the reno and knew it was going to pack a punch in that room. What we didn't realise was how difficult it was going to be to add all the other pieces around it without overloading the room with too many things to look at.

This week's episode reveals one of my FAVE rooms in the house... my URBAN MUD ROOM! Positioned right inside the front door this room had to be all about first impressions. We had to create that Santorini-vibe from the moment you walked through the front door... BUT it also needed to be super functional to accommodate all the shoes, school bags and sandy feet.

But I gotta tell you I am particularly enamoured by my toilet choice for the main (kids) bathroom. I am a total germaphobe and the thought of anything toilet related gives me a bad case of the heebie-jeebies. But this one… is… seriously… different. Here’s why.

Hey gang! Thanks for the great feedback we've received on the Parents' Retreat! It certainly makes me feel like we made all the right choices 😍. Now I can't wait to share with you the reno journey and reveal of my kids bedrooms and bathroom. Ruby is 9 and Heath has just turned 7 so we wanted to create rooms that weren't too childish but still playful. They'll be teenagers before I can blink #omg #scared #wantthemtostaythisageforever.
