EDITOR’S LETTER


PRODUCT OF THE MONTH


For a stylish and practical
outdoor heating solution, look
no further than the Decofire
Huracan fire pit, $289, with
optional tabletop, $
(decofireheating.com.au).
Featuring a generously sized
steel fire bowl, the fire pit is easy
to use and provides abundant
warmth and ambience to any
outdoor entertainment area.
The bamboo tabletop fitting


instantly turns the fire pit into
a sleek, contemporary cofee
table, so you can make use of
it all year round.

Ever since buying our house, I’ve been
itching to makeover our bathrooms


  • I’m sure garish gold ittings and pink
    lowery tiles once had their fashion
    heyday, but that moment is long gone!
    Rather than experience the cost
    and headache of a full reno, for our
    ensuite we opted for some clever paint
    tricks and stylish new ittings and
    amenities to bring it into the modern
    age. Check out the results on page 81.


DIYing it for the kids
When you have young kids, life seems
to revolve around vast quantities of
mass-produced plastic products.
We’ve pulled together some functional
and durable DIY kids’ projects that
involve building with wood or
repurposing what you already have.
It all gets started from page 53.

Easy living
Most of us spend the majority of our
time at home in our living rooms, but
the design of this space is often given
little thought. We asked the experts for
their advice on how to create a warm,
inviting haven on page 24.
What better way to create cosy
living room appeal than to install a
ireplace? See our feature on page 92,
where we guide you through the
available options and help you decide
which one is right for you.

Happy DIYing!
