OUR 10 FAVE ROOMS
We’re celebrating 10 fabulous years of designing dream homes, and wow - what a journey it’s been! What started as three friends chasing career changes, flipping houses for fun (and maybe a cheeky bit of profit), has blossomed into Three Birds Renovations as we know it today.
Over the past decade, we’ve transformed countless rooms, shared endless laughs, shed a few tears, and celebrated triumphs big and small. To mark this incredible milestone, we’re taking a stroll down memory lane and sharing our top 10 favourite rooms from the last 10 years. It was almost impossible to narrow it down to just 10 but we felt these are the spaces that have captured our hearts, shaped our journey and most importantly, inspired our amazing community of renovators.
In no particular order, here are our fave 10 rooms. Enjoy!
OUR TINIEST KITCHEN EVER
Over the years, we’ve tackled all kinds of homes, but The River Shack takes the cake as our tiniest reno ever! This little gem was the ultimate weekender, bursting with clever ideas for small-space living - like this bold black kitchen. Don’t let its size fool you; it’s got everything you need for a riverside getaway tucked neatly into those cupboards - including a sneaky European laundry. Small but mighty! And did we mention the gorgeous art? A car burnout has never looked so pretty xx #therivershack #house7
2. LANA’S STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
A void with a statement staircase connecting all three levels of the home was a non-negotiable for Lana in her own reno - even if it meant sacrificing a bedroom to make it happen! Was it worth it? 100%. Does she have any regrets? Not a single one! And she reckons going up and down the stairs every day is why she doesn’t need a gym membership. #santoriniinsydney #house6
3. A DOG BATH MADE FOR TWO
Bonnie’s a self-confessed laundry (and dog) lover, so when it came to designing her dream laundry, she went all out! She made sure to include something for everyone - even the family bulldogs! She measured the dogs, played with the layout, and nailed the design of this paw-fectly practical dog washing station. It’s a total game-changer for anyone with precious pooches. #moderncoastalbarn #house8
4. TAKE ME TO CHURCH
Bon’s renovation was our biggest at the time and it’s still one of our most loved so it’s no surprise it makes another appearance in our Top 10 list. Let’s sing the praises of high cathedral ceilings - they bring so much grandeur and light to an open-plan living room! This space is the heart of this home, and the barn-style design is what truly puts the barn in this ‘Modern Coastal Barn’ vision. #house8
5. BATHING IN THE RAINFOREST
Nestled in a semi-rural pocket of Northern New South Wales, this gorgeous home was designed and built in collaboration with our beautiful friend, Sophie Bell (aka Peppa Hart). It was a new build on a previously untouched block so was wrapped in lush, green rainforest teeming with wildlife. With no neighbours in sight and no privacy worries, this home was designed to soak up the breathtaking views from every single room - even the bathrooms! How divine is this open ensuite!? From the quirky tile pattern to the glamourous floorstanding mixer, this space always took our breath away. #mediterraneanfarmhouse #house10
6. A COTTAGE WITH CURVES
What better way to create a standout focal point in a contemporary family home than with a curve that’s as functional as it is fabulous? This clever design opens up the space between the living and dining rooms while doubling as double-sided bench seating - practical from both sides! And the colour palette in this room is one of our all-time faves and really kicked off our warm era. It feels like it glows and you just want to sit and stay. #contemporarycottage #house12
7. MAKE A GRAND ENTRANCE
Symmetry was our best friend in achieving the wow factor in this entryway. The balanced layout draws your eye straight to the stunning view, framed by the soaring ceilings and oversized windows. From the statement pendant to the centred table and matching armchairs, every detail whispers elegance while shouting "Welcome home!" No wonder we chose this room as the cover for our second book.
P.S - we’re still obsessed with the pink and white checkerboard tiles. #australianstaycation #house13
8. THE SHOWER THAT BROKE THE INTERNET
Could this be our most-loved shower ever? It was definitely a follower fave on our socials. We made a bold statement in this kids’ ensuite with a floor-to-ceiling tiled arch framing the shower like a work of art. It's fun, functional, and a little bit fabulous - showing how even the smallest spaces can pack a serious style punch! #australianstaycation #house13
9. A ‘MODITERRANEAN’ BUTLER’S PANTRY
This pantry brings a modern twist to Mediterranean vibes - with all the mod cons, including a Euro laundry tucked inside. The arched entryway, checkered tiles, and neutral palette ooze warmth and timeless style. It’s the perfect spot to stash the mess while keeping your main kitchen looking picture-perfect! #modernmallorca #house15
10. GO GREEN
Last, but certainly not least, is this lounge room from Erin’s home. This soft green palette is perfect for achieving farmhouse vibes without venturing into dusty, musty, plaid country territory! It brings a sense of serenity to the family lounge room, seamlessly connecting the indoors with nature and creating a calm, restful atmosphere. Anyone else feeling the urge to dive straight onto that sofa? #urbanfarmhouse #house16
