Australian Home Beautiful – August 2019

KITCHEN “It seems I live in the kitchen because it’s where everyone meets,” says Renee (pictured with her

family, top left). Though she’s not a big fan of cooking, doing it in a stylish and functional kitchen with a striking

island in Smartstone Calacatta Blanco (above) makes it a lot more bearable. “After you walk in the door everyone

perches up at the island bench,” says Renee. “It’s a social room and it’s a nice space to be in.” Tram pendant lights

by Janie Collins give an industrial edge while the home’s external slim ‘Hawthorn Black’ 50mm bricks from Daniel

Robertson were used again inside for a feature wall. The couple also invested in works by Australian artists from

Mitchell Fine Art throughout the home, including the oil pastel ‘Bouquinistes Pont Saint Michel’ by Bernard Ollis

(opposite). “I really wanted to get away from white walls,” says Renee. “I wanted colour and brick and contrast.” >
