Australian Home Beautiful – August 2019

LIVING ROOM A house is not a home for Renee without some indoor

foliage. “We always have fresh flowers and plants everywhere,” she says.

“I’m constantly at the flower market; we have nothing fake and it makes

the home feel awesome.” In the living room (top left), a pot claims a spot

atop a ‘Slinky’ stool in radiata pine by Mark Tuckey, a neutral foil to the

eye-drawing painting ‘My Country’ by Kudditji Kngwarreye.

MAIN BEDROOM A true escape, the couple’s bedroom (top right) is

accessed via a light-filled staircase and takes in sweeping valley views.

“Once you get upstairs it feels like your own personal retreat,” explains

Shane. The timber bedhead with built-in side tables was custom-crafted

by the couple’s joinery business, while ‘Antonio’ adjustable one-arm wall

lamps by Circa Lighting were installed to create moody uplighting.

POWDER RO OM Renee and Shane had never heard of a ‘top hat’ basin

when it came time to make their selection for the powder room (left), but

after one glance they simply couldn’t go past it. The white Agape ‘In-Out’

freestanding basin by Artedomus contrasts the classic matt black Penny

round mosaic 19mm wall tiles by The Tile Mob and an aged brass Astra

Walker tap set by Elite Bathware – all to dramatic effect. >

“THIS HOUSE IS

STILL BITS AND

PIECES TO COME”
