I have been styling homes all across Melbourne for the last 7 years and also renovated, built and sold some of my own properties during this time.
With everything I have learnt, I am on a mission to empower other homeowners to present their homes in the best possible way - either for the real estate market (styling to sell) or themselves to live in (styling to stay).
With a 'big picture' approach to styling, I see every home as unique with its own story to tell. My 'signature style' usually includes lots of layers and textures to achieve a luxurious look - without the designer price tag.
My love for luxurious furnishings began after working in five-star hotel marketing. My style remains fairly modern and minimal but I also love using lots of textures and layers.
When styling for sale however...it's not about your personal taste, but creating a look that has generic appeal for your target market.
As a loyal kiwi, I can't go past a Marlborough Sauv Blanc to help me unwind after a big day.
And call me old school, but I'm also quite partial to a little G&T on a hot afternoon - but only one or I'll get all emotional...
From a young age, my parents invested in property, so I grew up understanding the value of real estate.
After styling my own investment property for sale with fantastic results, I realized I could help others do the same. I am now on a mission to help home owners maximize the value of their biggest asset.
Confession time...
I am seriously addicted to reality TV shows.
Of course I love the home reno style ones. But I'm also a romantic at heart so I love the lovey-dovey ones, like First Dates, Farmer Wants a Wife and The Batchelor (in any country!).
I know I'm not the only one...
Good food and wine have always been a big part of my (adult!) life. I now have a bucket list of restaurants to tick off.
But whether it's fine dining or a local diner, eating out at my favourite restaurants with my favourite people is my favourite thing to do!
