Wherever a challenging renovation arises, you can be sure that husband and wife duo, Kyal and Kara, will be close behind. Even before they rose to fame on The Block: Fans vs Faves in 2014, the pair loved the process of taking something dilapidated and breathing new life into it. “Mostly for us, it’s all about the transformation,” says Kara. “We love the satisfaction of the before and after.” But how do you keep things interesting when you’ve completed over 30 renovations together? The answer is simple: you tackle two renovations at once. The challenge started in 2021, when a block of land a few hundred metres from the beach on the Central Coast of NSW was put on the market. “It had an old shack on it,” explains Kara,…

It was the charming driveway lined with towering fig trees that piqued the interest of Adriana and Casey Stoner when they first glimpsed their sprawling 5-hectare property in Queensland’s Gold Coast hinterland. Having travelled extensively during Casey’s career as a professional motorcycle racer, with stints spent living in Monaco and Switzerland, the couple’s dream was always to return to Australia and lay down some roots once Casey, a two-time MotoGP World Champion, had retired. Moving in with daughter Alessandra, now 12, while Adriana was pregnant with second daughter Caleya, now six, the family immediately embraced a more rural lifestyle, acquiring several ponies to take advantage of the property’s paddocks and horse arena. A dirt bike trail was also established, where Casey could teach the girls to ride in the backyard.…

TALL ORDER Ashley James stands in front of a tall wildflower planting he created. As a designer and maker of contemporary cottage-style gardens, you will often see an abundance of wildflowers and meadow plantations included in my gardens. You may have also seen the beautiful wildflower display I have surrounded my kitchen garden with at my home. Now is the time to prepare and sow these seeds and I’m going to take you through how I do this in my own garden to create beautiful floral displays. Measure and order The first step is to measure your garden area and determine how many grams of flower seeds you will need, I recommend three to four grams of seed per square metre. So as a rule of thumb: + 1 sq…

Crucial details Tapware in Raw Brass from Industrie Tapware and ‘Andalus Alabaster Wall Lamps’ in Gold from Lucretia pop against the light tiling and Polytec vanity in ‘Woodmatt’ Casentino Beech. “The little touches of brass – the trim in the shower, the tapware and the mirrors – bring everything together,” explains Erica. Creating a parents’ sanctuary in this cramped California bungalow was a major goal in this full-home renovation, executed by interior designer Erica Georgis. Located in Sydney’s Inner West, the footprint was tight and the only way to go was up. “The whole top floor is the owners’ retreat,” says Erica. The lavish ensuite is one part of the tranquil and relaxed space. “It’s a little bit luxurious with over-the-top proportions and touches of brass,” reveals Erica. A large…

For reality TV star Krissy Marsh, having a welcoming home is everything. She and husband Johnny are big on family and believe in having the type of home where people can drop in anytime and even stay for dinner if it suits. After 20 years of living nearby in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, Krissy, one of the stars of The Real Housewives of Sydney, saw this house come up for sale and felt it would be perfect for her family. While not quite her style, she fell in love with the home’s welcoming feel. “It’s very important to me that a house has got a good feel,” she says. “As soon as I walked into this house, I knew it had always been a happy home.” After living in…

WE LOVE… pot fillers These handy kitchen essentials should be on everyone’s hardware wish list in our view. Shelley opted for an Elysian pot filler in Brushed Gunmetal from ABI Interiors (pictured, right). It features a wall-mounted extendable arm so when it’s not filling pots and pans it can be folded out of the way. For more options in the Elysian range, visit www.abiinteriors.com.au. Some people collect coins, others artwork or even shoes. For television presenter Shelley Craft and her husband, Christian, renovations and new builds are the collection of choice. “I’ve hosted about 17 seasons of The Block, which is on average four or five houses a year, plus our own projects,” Shelley reflects. “I feel like I’ve done 150 renovations.” But it’s her daughter, Eadie, who perhaps describes…

When Jen and Marcus bought their home five years ago, a new laundry topped their reno wish list. “It felt very small and dark, and had little storage or bench space,” recalls Jen. “There was no drying space, so I was using an adjacent spare bedroom with portable racks.” Wondering where to start, Jen engaged interior designer Lynda MacDonald. “I felt she understood our brief before I knew it myself,” says Jen. Key to the desired modern farmhouse look was the addition of a large awning window to let more natural light into the space, coupled with a serene green palette, abundant bench space and plenty of hanging rails to dry a constant rotation of clothes for the couple and their two teenage sons. Personality was also injected with patterned…

Familiar faces I’ve always been curious about how other people live. What are their homes like? What do they like to cook? How do they like to spend their spare time? It’s one of the reasons I became a journalist – I have a legitimate reason to pry! But, beyond my own wondering, I think it’s human nature to be interested, particularly, in how celebrities live. The people we see on our televisions, hosting, acting and playing sports. Are they the same in real life? This issue, eight such personalities have invited us into their own homes, and I can tell you every one of them is as charming, friendly and welcoming as you would imagine. Beyond the screen, they love to renovate, decorate, entertain and, like us, create beautiful…

FLOOR PLAN Visiting friends can help you discover a new area, and that’s how interior designer and The Block judge Darren Palmer fell in love with the street he now lives on. “A friend of ours, Barry Du Bois from The Living Room, lives a couple of doors down. We went to his place for Christmas parties and thought, ‘We’d love it here, it would be great’,” he says. Darren and his husband Olivier Duvillard, a cosmetics industry expert, kept their eyes on real estate listings and when this home came up in 2015 they had to see it. “The second my husband and I walked through the front door, we thought, ‘This is our house’,” recalls Darren. Despite it being “very dark and higgledy-piggledy,” they had a good feeling…

Dreamy and primordial, the volcanic island of VOMO comes into focus like a polaroid processing. A swoop of turquoise, a swirl of aqua, a pearlescent bank of sand, then dense coconut trees that give way to rugged wilderness as Mount Vomo rises to the east. Four large white letters (V, O, M and O) stand proudly on the lawn, joined by a beaming welcome party. This marks you have arrived at this close-up-ready resort. At 87 hectares, VOMO is one of Fiji’s larger private islands and among its most luxurious. The resort is located in the Mamanuca archipelago on the cusp of the Yasawa Islands. It’s 15 minutes by helicopter from Nadi International Airport (flights only depart during daylight hours), or just over 30 minutes by speedboat from the Vuda…

Touches of coastal cool create a calming environment in this combined laundry and mudroom, located in a seaside suburb of Adelaide. Designed for a family of three, the space had to pack a lot of function into a narrow space, all without inducing overwhelm. “I utilised a galley layout so the laundry could sit on one side and the mudroom on the other,” shares Anouk Seer, senior designer at Kinsman. “Both spaces complement the other and there’s room for everything – from bench space for folding laundry, to appliances and a seating nook to sit on and take off shoes.” The key to the sleek look is the Kinsman ‘Camden’ joinery in Amaro Smooth. “Amaro Smooth is a favourite of mine as it’s a warm white; soft but still bright,”…

There’s a wealth of history and memories that live in Sheila Smith’s home in the rural town of Hay in NSW. “It was once the Old Bank of London, where I grew up, and then returned to in 2020 when my husband Grant and I bought the property from my parents,” she recalls of the historical 1891 building. Embarking on a huge restoration and redecoration project, the bathroom was a priority. “It was leaking and very tired, so the aim was to improve the layout and freshen up the feel,” explains Sheila. “I wanted it to pay homage to the building’s era, yet I wanted it to be fun as well.” In keeping with the garden views, green was a natural choice for the scheme. Regional flooding and the old…
