    Top Tips to Buy your First Holiday Home

    January 10, 2021 / 0 Comments

    As a child, I remember have a family holiday shack down in Dover, Tasmania right on the waters edge. Its where great childhood memories are formed. For many though, the idea of a home away from home may seem like a pipe dream, but seeing as our holiday options are more limited due to COVID, maybe it’s time to consider making your dream a reality.  Many people dream of having their own private getaway in a sunny coastal town or a cottage tucked away amongst the tranquillity of the bush. After all, it means spontaneous weekends or mini breaks away without the burden of bookings and thousands of dollars spent…

    AUSTRALIA’S BEST BEACHES

    January 10, 2021 / 0 Comments

    With nearly 12,000 beaches along the Australian coastline and right on our back doors, or close to it,  it’s no surprise that our beautiful Aussie beaches make headlines globally. Normally (pre covid) more than 8.6 million people visit our shores with beach visits on top of their list. While we’re not currently welcoming international visitors, there’s no better time to soak up everything our glorious coastline – minus the crowds – has on offer. Sure, we’re all familiar with the usual (beautiful) suspects like Bondi, Byron Bay, Burleigh and the Gold Coast, but what about those hidden gems that don’t make the headlines? I've done some swimming on the net…

    Picture Perfect Pool Ideas for your Backyard

    December 13, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Hello Summer!  Nothing like a little early summer heatwave to get you thinking about installing a pool this season and with Australia boasting more backyard swimming pools per capita than anywhere else in the world, we’re certainly blessed with plenty of innovation and choice when it comes to the humble pool. Installing a swimming pool is so much more than the perfect spot for lounging with cocktails. Pools are great for exercise, relaxation, entertainment, as a social hub for kids and can even add value to your home.  I mean lets be real, who wouldn’t want that holiday feeling all year round with a backyard pool?  There is definitely a…

    December 4, 2020 / 0 Comments

    I think we are all saying it, it's been a BIG year and it's time to bring in some holiday joy and happiness as we get to spend precious time with our family and friends this Christmas. The festive season beckons as a ray of sunshine, after what has been a stormy year for most of us. Getting into the Christmas spirit and spending quality time with loved ones for a spot of festive cheer and overindulgence is the perfect way to close off the year with a bit of normality. This year more than others, we will be cherishing our time with loved ones over Christmas and I have…

    10 Mood Boosters for Mental Wellbeing

    October 20, 2020 / 0 Comments

    With the year we’ve had so far… mental health and mindfulness has never been more important than right now. Whether it’s the stresses of the COVID-related work from home juggle, new financial worries, pressure on relationships or social isolation, most of us have now experienced some level of anxiety. Our hope is that with a greater understanding and ability to relate to these feelings, we’ll all find it easier to talk with others, seek help when needed and ultimately remove the stigma around mental health.

    6 Ways to Boost Your Property’s Value

    October 20, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Australia has experienced one of the longest ‘bull runs’ in the country’s property value history, and even though COVID-19 restrictions have tempered growth, so far we’ve only seen incremental declines in home values – apart from the luxury price ranges. We’ve had some very good price increases in most state capitals, particularly over the past 5 years. For a lot of Australians that’s meant it’s a great time to sell your home and take advantage of those gains. Regardless of whether you’re considering sprucing your property up for a quick sale, putting a few things in place to add value for later, or simply getting ‘spring ready’ to make your…

    8 Tips For Styling Your Home This Spring

    October 2, 2020 / 2 Comments

    With most of us having spent a significant amount of time within our own four walls this winter, we’ve had plenty of time to dream and get inspired about our home-style, creature comforts, and interiors. Being in real estate for over 20 years, I get to see interior trends first-hand; and the one clear styling trend I have seen stand-out for 2020 is colours, styling and furnishing all created and tastefully put together around ‘mindfulness’.   Our homes are a refuge from the stresses of the outside world (and now more than ever before), so bringing a sense of serenity to your home this spring will give you a much-needed…

    If you’re feeling like the past few months have resulted in a lot more ‘lounging around’, then you’re probably not the only one. For a lot of us, ‘staying at home’ has meant exactly that – a lot of ‘couch and PJ time’, often at the expense of our fitness, general health and wellbeing. For some of us, it has also been challenging to resist the temptation to over-indulge with easy access to unhealthy snacks and beverages and the fact that when you are bored, you eat! In our defence, cold rainy days have made getting outside less appealing – but have no fear, warm sunshine will be upon us…

    5 Tips to Puppy Proof your Home

    August 10, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Moving into a new home is an emotional time. After being squashed into a place that was ‘just what you can afford’ for so long, now you have space and permission to do what you like and really make it your own. Once things are unpacked, the pictures hung and your new neighbourhood explored, it’s not uncommon to start to feel like something is missing. Maybe it doesn’t feel quite as much like ‘home’ as you were expecting, or maybe you are ready to take the next step and care for someone else now. A new baby may be too much of a commitment, but a pet can be ‘just…

  • I love light and bright so when I originally looked at this space ( see pic 2) I needed to let the light in.

A few simple yet effective changes. 1 remove the dark wooden shutters. 2 fresh paint on the walls and ceiling. 3 install a few more light fittings into the space. 

And just like that it’s gone from dark and drab to light and fab.

  • Just a little Granny Flat Hampton’s Kitchen Inspo.

I’ve renovated a little two bedroom flat which is situated under the main house. Its been left by the previous owners in ruins and half completed. 

It’s very dark, miserable, sad and is in need of some love, so love is what I gave it 🥰.

This kitchen is from IKEA and cost $3,500.

I extend the wall slightly to allow for a fridge space, finished off the skirting and cornices. I also cut out the original window and put in French door to the balcony.

A fresh lick of paint which is called White on White, and I’ve transformed a very tired and old kitchen into a Hampton’s delight.

  • Are you looking at your walls and thinking how boring they are, this big blank space above your lounge or tv area, it needs something. That something is a little bit of wall candy.  It’s a great opportunity to tell a story. Wall candy doesn’t necessarily mean art or paintings, it could be a large mirror that will help bounce light and make your space look bigger, it could be a bright, bold statement piece that adds wow factor or introduce soft textured items like woven pieces, juju hats, rattan basket, the list is as endless as your imagination.
  • Front door eye candy... It’s a thing, but I bet you hadn’t even thought about furnishing your front door, am I right? Do we even see the potential a front door has? 

For most it’s just the entry into a home, something we push open to entry out homes but the tides are changing and the front door now wants to be front and centre.

Door furniture is the furthest thing from our minds or not even on our radars, but it should be given the same amount of consideration as all your other reno ideas. Door furniture is all about the handle you choose, the locking mechanism, right down to the door bell. This is something you want to be very clear on with your builder. If not, you’ll come to site one day to find a stock  standard door set (yuk). You’ll also want to be clear on where your door furniture is placed, it makes all the difference on the look and feel of your door.

  • Have you heard of GRANDMILLENNIAL? 
Well, you are about to. Without adding yet another dimension to the landscape that is interior design, grandmillennial is the 2021 word for Granny Chic. There is a way to do it though without it looking like great granny’s home. While you can go big on the old-fashioned, prints and designs, give space a modern twist by adding in some more contemporary pieces. Think floral prints, lace tablecloths, embroidered curtains, but it's not twee (unique but not
  • #wearamask Brisbane! 
I’ll be in quarantine until Monday 6pm as I have been in #Brisbane since the 2nd of January, while only for 1 night, I’ll be doing whatever is necessary to stop the spread of #covid_19 .

I’m going to use this time to get motivated as I’ve really procrastinated since the Christmas break, I can’t seem to find my mojo. 

Maybe I’ll clean out my wardrobe and draws, re organisation the pantry and linen closet, clean the house within an inch of its life... what else can I do?

  • Let’s just talk about this front door 🚪.... I love to upcycle and revitalise old to new again. I’m loving the upcycling that was done here and that it made the cut and rehung as the front door.

11 Dempsey St in Annerley was a major overhaul renovation and she’s now ready to find a new owner. 🔗 in bio
