My family and I pretty much live to entertain. We can think of nothing better than filling our new dream home with family and friends - eating, drinking, chatting #makingmemories. And what better place to do it than in the ultimate outdoor entertaining area!
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
Bonnie is opening the doors to her beautiful dream home so our Reno School students can see, touch and feel every nook and cranny of her home - and maybe get some ideas and advice for their own reno project.
Read MoreOh 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 MoreFor loads of busy mums and dads, working from home has become the new norm. As we juggle jobs and kids and busy lives, a home office, or study, can be a great inclusion to your home.
When I was designing the floorplan for my dream home, I knew I needed a study and it really needed to be in the hub of the home so I could pop in and send a few emails from my laptop while I waited for the water to boil on the stovetop. Or post this blog while I wait for the dishwasher to finish! #mumlife
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 MoreWhen your home’s the size of a hotel and everything’s over-sized, it’s more important than ever to get the proportions just right. A teeny master bedroom in a huge house would have been a bit weird… but maybe Bon’s gone over-board on the big bedroom memo?!! #gobigorgohome
Read MoreWe LOVE hearing from our beautiful you and especially that you want #MORE Three Birds TV... longer episodes and more renovating goodness. So here it is gang, an extended version of Episode Three, Bonnie's Master Suite.... Which includes 7 mins of never-before-seen footage! We hope you like it x

Read MoreWho’s really surprised? She’s never been one to conform when it comes to her design choices. And her rebellious streak just keeps shining through as we reveal her dream home, room by room. #rebelwithacause
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.
Here she is - Episode 1 of Bonnie's Dream Home - THE GUEST COTTAGE. Watch now to see the first room reveals of our BIGGEST reno ever. Who knew a Granny Flat could look this good!? I guess that's why we're calling it a Guest Cottage #iwanttolivethere. Let us know what you think!
Read MoreSo, you’ve decided to demolish half your house to build your dream home? Are you ready to fork out $25k in rent to move out, like Lana did, or are you prepared to get down and dirty and live through the reno, like some of the #ahem hardier among us?
