WHO LIVES HERE?

Lesa, a stylist for Pillow Talk; Greg, a concreter; and their sons,

Hayden, 27, and Reid, 16.

WHAT’S YOUR TOP DECORATING TIP?

Lesa: “One of my biggest tips is to add a feather cushion insert.

There’s nothing better than buying a $20 cushion, adding the

feather insert and it’s just like they make magic together.”

DOES YOUR HOUSE LEND ITSELF TO ENTERTAINING?

“Our front patio is a great spot to enjoy an early morning coffee

or a bottle of bubbles on a Sunday afternoon. The back patio

seats 15-plus family members for end-of-year celebrations.”

HAVE YOU ALWAYS BEEN A GREEN THUMB?

“Yes, I love it! I come home from work and my plants are just like

my babies. But I don’t mind mixing the fake ones in as well.”

WHAT INSPIRES YOU IN GENERAL?

“My girlfriends, most of all. They’re a broad bunch of women

who believe in me; all are positive and empowering, and

some are addicted to interior decorating, like myself!”

feel, inside and out, and all year round.

Brass vessels Lesa collected from “the back streets

of Bali” add a dash of warmth to her spare room.
