TJI really feels like part of the family with this growing household. Over the last 6 years, we have decorated upon moving in, watched two babies grow, renovated – building up a level, managed through a pandemic and designed an outdoor kitchen / alfresco area.

The clean, fresh living/kitchen area of this newly updated home is open and breezy with tall ceilings to allow a natural flow. Warm grey cabinets have been given a highlight with custom made white hardware and tapware. The light fittings are hand made in Melbourne. Another favourite is the extendable dining table, allowing easy and comfortable entertaining.

When two little ones need to get organised for the day, it makes sense to have the vanity outside of the bathroom.

The benefit of having a back to wall bath for children is that the mopping time gets halved. Cleaning hacks are a massive time saver. The round edges are perfect for children too.

All of the artwork is sourced from either local or Australian artists. The client appreciates original artwork and how they appreciated over time.

The alfresco area is an entertainer’s dream. The motorised louvred roof allows for weather changes.
