Here 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.
Read MoreWhere we live, renovating is the new black. Everyone’s doing it. So, decent builders with any availability are a rare commodity. In fact, I’d heard that finding a builder who can start when you want is a bit like the show, Wheel of Fortune. Give the wheel a big spin and hope for the best. You get what you get, or you wait a while and have another spin.
In our case, finding our builder was actually more like an episode of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. And I was in the Hot Seat. We were ready to submit our plans to Council for DA approval and the questions were coming thick and fast from my architect, engineers, council… and my husband. They all wanted to know who was actually going to build the dream home we’d been meticulously planning for the past year.
Read MoreEmma Ramia from Toowoomba is one of our Reno School originals. She jumped on the Reno School bus as soon as our very first intake opened and isn't getting off any time soon.
Once a hairdresser, Emma gave it up when her kids were born and turned her creative skills to renovating. She’s now flipped two houses and is planning her next project.
Read MoreIt’s no secret that styling is my passion. It really is the icing on the cake of your reno and you want it to be like fancy fondant, not melted buttercream! There’s no place for one of those sarcastic “Nailed it” memes when it comes to styling a reno.
Before you rush straight in, here are a few things to consider when styling a room. And what we did when styling our office:
Read MoreTwo years on from moving into our first Three Birds HQ, our ‘lil office needed some loving. With a growing team of gorgeous girls, we wanted to create a luxe, feminine space where everyone loves coming to work each day.
Read MoreRemember that gorgeous Woodcut premium engineered timber flooring we used in Bonnie and Lana’s homes? We get lots of questions about how it’s worn with the daily thrashing by kids, animals… and crutches! So we asked the girls for an update on all things Woodcut…

Read MoreA gorgeous garden can totally be the cherry on the top of your dream home renovation. Done well, landscaping has the ability to transform the street appeal of your house and make it feel like a home you’ll never want to leave. BUT, did you know that the biggest mistake we see when it comes to home renos lies in the garden.
Read MoreHey, Guys! We know we’re sometimes prone to a little overexcitement #thatsyoulana when it comes to talking all things renovating and, of course, the Reno School, so don’t believe the hype… until you’ve read these REAL reviews from REAL Reno School students! Then believe it all!
We’re shocked, amazed and so damn proud of how these guys and gals have turned their reno dreams into dream houses. And we’re lucky that they were up for being quizzed on how the Three Birds Reno School helped them along the way. We kept quiet long enough for these lovely students to tell you about the Reno School in THEIR words.

Read MoreThe Reno School is BACK and it's bigger and better than ever! And just to prove Bon's no Grinch, we're rolling out an EARLY BIRD special with 20% off available from now til midnight Christmas Eve! Sign up today and you'll be part of our next student intake, kicking off 11 Feb 2019.
Read MoreIt’s Bon’s first Christmas in her ‘new’ home so is it any wonder that she jumped early and got the tree up earlier than most! But for the rest of us, we’re starting to feel a little anxious about the pending festivities and also - what to buy!
Read MoreIf you love custom furniture, but can’t afford to splash your cash on fancy pants furnishings throughout your whole home… we can help! We jumped on the #IKEAhack bandwagon back in House 3 with their Bergsbo wardrobe doors and then again we painted their beds in Bonnie’s Dream Home. You might just say we’re hooked on hacking.
Read MoreThis little ugly duckling of a house needed a lot of help in the roof department! The original tiles left a lot to be desired but we didn’t have the budget to splash the cash on a whole new roof. We wanted the extension to complement rather than contrast the original roof, so needed to find the perfect crown to sit atop this little black beauty.
Read MoreUs Three Birds swear by the saying “the devil is in the detail”… because it’s true! Looking back on a renovation you’ll never regret spending the time to get the details right. We’re talking the little things, that you may not have even considered. Let’s take a look:
