Your kitchen benchtop can often be the single most expensive item for a kitchen renovation and it is therefore really important that you get this choice right, both in terms of practicality for you and your family and in terms of colour and design for the look that you want to achieve. A fact for.. Read more
The question to ask ourselves on The Block 2024 rumpus and office reveal is in fact why would a holiday home need a home office? I understand that some people may still need to do some work while they are away for a long weekend or a holiday, but you don’t need a full service.. Read more
Have you noticed that the kitchen appliance cupboard is getting larger and more sophisticated? Even kitchens that have the benefit of a Butler’s Pantry, may still have an appliance cupboard within easy reach.

The Block 2024 master bedroom belongs to Kristian and Mimi. They had the stand out room reveal this week with an absolutely stunning colour palette and beautifully finished bedroom. I was pretty underwhelmed with every other space, although there were merits to all of them. None of the teams came close to the success of.. Read more
