Photography by Marcel Aucar Last time we caught up, our kitchen and laundry had just been installed but the finishing touches were a mere pipedream. Fast forward to 2018 and we’re done and dusted. If we’d ever questioned the notion of love at first sight, we don’t anymore. These spaces have far exceeded our expectations and […]

Sponsored by ILVE Much as I’d love to tell you renovations and interior design are all about aesthetics (and let’s face it, that’s the fun part!), there is a hell of a lot of practicality and functionality involved too. And the designs which combine the best of both worlds are always the most successful. Nowhere […]
Liz Hayward , owner of Hayward & Co – Interior Decoration and Styling Studio, takes us on a tour of a recent project. The design brief for this Inner West residential project was to create a livable sanctuary for a small growing family. The owners wanted to come home from a busy day and feel a […]

The big kitchen reveal
Photography by Jacqui Turk I am so excited to finally share my new kitchen with you today! Seeing these beautiful pictures makes the last two months of mess and chaos seem more than worth while! They say the kitchen is the heart of the home and in this house, it really is. Not just because […]
It’s instalment five of our exclusive series with former Blockheads Julia and Sasha and so much has happened! Read on for Julia’s warts and all account, some exciting developments (and, let’s be a honest, a few fails!). Kitchen Week was by far our favourite on The Block and it was no different this time around. I mean, what’s […]
In partnership with Latitude Financial Services So, my kitchen reno started on September 27. And it still isn’t finished! Unusual? Not really! From my own and others’ experience, these things are never as speedy as you anticipate. Four weeks from start to finish? Pah! I never really believed it! Add to that the fact we […]
In partnership with Latitude Financial Services Kitchens can be expensive. Very expensive. I’m in the middle of one so trust me, I know! And while we all know they sell houses and they’re the heart of the home (why so many kitchen cliches, eh?!), we don’t all have unlimited budgets, much as we’d love to […]
On a subdivided plot just 7.2 metres wide, designing a spacious, private home was always going to be a challenge. However builder Phil Lovell, of Lawson and Lovell Building Services achieved just that and more, winning the Master Builders Award ($800,001-to-$1 million category) for his stunning house in Sydney’s northern beaches. Home to Phil, his wife Emma […]
Hallway and laundry week: the one week contestants underestimate every season. As a result three couples didn’t finish, but there were still some pretty spectacular reveals. Without further ado… the good, the bad and the ugly! Jason and Sarah (third place with 26.5 out of 30) With an unexpected 10 grand in their pocket, plus […]
Last night on The Block. Oh. My. Goodness! The big dob and a $10k reward So Jason dobbed on Josh and Elyse for having a gas stovetop too close to the Caesarstone splashback which didn’t meet code. Not only were they told they had to replace it with induction, the judges took half a point […]
Kitchen week is always one of the biggest weeks on The Block… I’m sure I wasn’t the only one oohing and ahhing while watching Sunday night’s reveal! With each kitchen boasting new metallic and textured finishes and of course enviable appliances, we thought it’d be the perfect time to give you all the details so you can get the […]
It’s always a popular week on The Block! We all know the kitchen is the heart of the home and we are continually told that kitchens sell houses. On top of that, there’s a lot of work involved and that usually means tight timeframes and a fair amount of, you guessed it, drama! I got […]
In partnership with Latitude Financial Services I feel like I’ve been planning my new kitchen for months. Oh yeah, I have been! It’s been five months since we moved into our new (old) home, affectionately called the “nanna house” due to the old lady who lived here for three decades before us. We have been slowly […]
Imagine if every time you cooked a recipe you went out shopping for all the ingredients from scratch. The butter, sugar, eggs, flour, herbs and spices… all the staples you’d realistically expect to find in any cook’s kitchen. You’d not only be wasting a lot of needless time hunting down ingredients, you’d also be wasting […]
With no reserve set, one lucky family will call this new-build home when it goes under the hammer as part of this year’s Good Friday Appeal for Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital. Located in Geelong (Mt Duneed to be precise), the house sits on 599 square metres of land generously donated by Villawood Properties and built by Henley. […]
By Felicity Page As the seasons change and the weather cools, we find ourselves appreciating our interior living spaces more than ever. And as the heart of the home, the kitchen is a hub that many will look to makeover this Autumn. Freedom Kitchens’ new Autumn 2017 Catalogue reveals that while white has everlasting appeal […]
Imagine a laundry room where everything you need is at your fingertips. Where clutter is kept cleverly out-of-sight and functionality meets style. What if we told you that it’s not just a pipe dream?! On the recent series of The Block, the contestants cleaned up with their laundry design. My fellow judges and I were […]
New floorboards, a neutral colour palette with pops of mustard yellow and wallpaper, and a clever use of space, has completely transformed a home-away-from-home in Melbourne’s inner south-east for a busy mum and her teenage daughter. “My daughter and I live here during the week for work and school/university. We have a family home in Olinda […]
