A spray tan makes everything look better! Am I right, gang? Well, the same goes for a tired house façade, there’s nothing like a spray of paint to make an old girl glow again.
Read MoreFor our 11th house it was time to mix things up a little. We asked these brave homeowners to handover their keys, their budget and all creative license… and they agreed! So, we sent them on their merry way and jumped into action stations to create the family home they’ve always dreamed of.
Read MoreIt’s been our bible for the whole reno journey. When it came to choosing paint colours, tiles, flooring, furniture, light fittings (you get the gist!)… guess who we turned to first? Ye olde faithful vision board! That’s right, she’s got all the answers right there on one page.
Read MoreIt’s safe to say we have a penchant for white. Dulux White on White, Casper White Quarter, Lexicon Half… give us ALL the white! But that doesn’t mean we don’t like to use colour in our projects too – heck, check out the River Shack! And there’s good reason House 11 is hashtagged #COLOURmehamptons #spoileralert
Read MoreFor our eleventh project we’re back on home turf, in suburban Sydney. Home to a lovely family of five, this house is your typical Aussie plain Jane, double-storey, brick build. She’s on a great sized block but is definitely lacking street appeal.
Read MoreOoooh, boy! The excitement is mounting for Sophie’s open home already and all this chat about it has me flashing back to Bonnie’s first (and last!) open home on that glorious winter day last year.
It was such a thrill to meet so many keen and lovely Reno Schoolers who came from far and wide to have a squiz at Bon’s place. Excuse all my gratuitous shoulder rubs as you arrived, I was so pumped to have you all there in the flesh!
Read MoreCall it a stroke of genius or a moment of madness, Sophie decided to bring the Peppa Hart office under the roof of her Mediterranean Farmhouse to mix her busy business with raising her babes. Soph hated wasting time commuting to and from work, so this space is literally 10 steps from her master suite but all completely seperate…. Soph loves the idea of spending max time with her kids before she starts her work day and as soon as she clocks off in the evening she is straight into mum mode. The office is located upstairs away from the busy household downstairs, when kids and hubby are home the office can work in peace.
Read MorePop the bubbly gang, it's the LAST HURRAH for House 10! It's been a HUGE project for us… with so many firsts: our first collaboration with the amazingly stylish 'fourth bird', Sophie Bell @peppahart, our first new build #wontbethelast and our first out-of-town project #mightbethelast #exhausted!
Read MoreHey gang, it's that time of the week again! Episode 5 is now LIVE!
Life's busy for the Bell family with two young babes, so their mantra is
"if you can't go to the party, bring the party to you!". And that we did!
We think you're going to love the white-on-white pool and sundeck, over-sized daybed, swinging bar chair... and wait, did somebody say pizza oven?!
Read MoreI’m quick to tell anyone who asks that candles are always top of my list when choosing styling props. They just look gorgeous and are so versatile that they can be used in every room.
Read MoreShut the front door, it's Episode FOUR! How on earth are we more than half way through this series already? #hinterlandhideaway #mediterraneanfarmhouse #timeflieswhenyourehavingfun
We know that a parent's retreat is usually right up there on the wish list when creating a family home and we're sure this one will not disappoint! It's got an open-plan bedroom and ensuite, and as if a double shower wasn't enough, there's another on the balcony, for good measure. And it's totally private thanks to this secluded rainforest setting. Note: please don't try this in suburbia!
Read MoreWe're super pumped it's that time of the week again when we get to share more of #thehinterlandhideaway with you! If you loved the tiles we used in the laundry, get excited because there's lots more tile goodness coming your way this week, as well as some damn hot rendered internal walls. And another gorgeous wall niche because #mediterraneanfarmhouse
Read MoreWell, the secret of our first ever collaboration is out and you guys are good…. hands up if you picked the homeowner and collaborator of our next project? Sophie Bell aka @peppahart
Soph’s Instagram tags have been going off the Richter scale over the past few weeks as you sneaky peeps have guessed she’s the other half of our #threebirdsxpeppahart collab.
Read MoreWhen it comes to the way we like to live in our homes, Sophie and I are kindred spirits. We both love beautiful interiors and we want them to be used and enjoyed by friends and family, the more the merrier. Lana will tell you this is her worst nightmare in her shoe-free home, but what’s a few muddy feet between friends! #orchocolateonthewhitesofa
Read MoreHot on the heels of The Hinterland Hideaway’s kitchen reveal, let's take a look at what's on the other side of that huge open-plan space.
Sophie and her family love to entertain so there’ll be no shortage of places for friends and fam to sit, chat and relax in this #mediterraneanfarmhouse, that's #fosho!
Read MoreSophie wanted to keep the kitchen light-filled and open, so decided to ditch any overhead cabinetry and stick with below-bench storage. Lucky for her, the concrete island bench is 5-whole-metres long, meaning there’s so much room for storage on both sides of it.
Read MoreJust when you thought we'd fallen off the radar... WE'RE BACK! And this time we've got a FOURTH BIRD with us! Whaaaat?! Have you guessed who she is? WATCH NOW and all will be revealed! Meet our new bird as we collaborate to build her dream home!
Read MoreHere she is! Our beautiful block, hand-picked for our Three Birds’ House 10! This will be our FIRST ever ‘new build’ and finding the perfect block was one of the most important tasks we took on. This block already has a long driveway (to nowhere though) and we’ll be putting the house right up the back where the cleared land curves around deeper into the bush.
