Choosing the colour scheme for your home’s exterior can be really quite daunting. Remember that your front façade is the first thing people see so it should set the vibe for the entire home. No pressure guys, but it could be the make or break of your whole vision! #somuchpressure!

A Butler’s Pantry, or ‘BP’ in Three Birds lingo, was a luxury we simply couldn’t afford in our first houses in terms of both money and space, but we’re happy to announce that we have finally created one in Bon’s Dream Home! Now we’re not all going to die wondering if they’re worth it – it’s mega! Actually, it’s more of a butler’s kitchen than pantry.

It seems that our Three Birds Gang have a bit of a thing for bar stools! Remember the timber and black ‘tractor stools’ we used in House 4? Bonnie picked them because the black legs complemented the black knobs and the tap in the kitchen. We had no idea that they’d become the most asked about furniture we’d used - EVER!
And then you guys nearly broke the internet, selling out Ziggy stools like the ones Bonnie used in her dream home, overnight! They’re the ones at the main island bench… not to be confused with the three other styles of bar stools Bon chose for her dream home! #nothingbyhalves

Do you have Champagne taste on a prosecco budget? #ustoo
We hear you, gang! Sometimes when we’re renovating it seems like there’s a constanbattle against the budget, but when it comes to styling your home you don’t need to fret.
We’re big fans of freedom for furnishings because they’ve got a huge range of gorgeous products that won’t break the bank.
Watch how Bonnie styled the lounge in House 9, from sofas to sideboards, console tables, rugs and ba-zillions of cushions, we found it all at freedom.

Artwork is such a personal choice. What floats one person’s boat isn’t always the next person’s cup of tea #whitewithoneplease. That said, I for one, love Bon’s choices of artwork in her dream home. True to her eclectic style she’s chosen different artists and a range styles but what they’ve got in common is that they all look amazing on those big white walls #bonniesdreamgallery #moveoverMOMA

Have you ever seen a gorgeously styled home and then you get to the kids’ bedrooms and they’re a bit of an… ummm, well… #eyesore #bestclosethedoor?!
Not in Bonnie’s dream home! #nowayrose Once again, she’s knocked it out of the ballpark with her styling. This time with the bedrooms for her four boys. The kids love them as much as the adults… so, how did she get it so right?
I asked her to spill the beans ….

So tell us, what do you see when you look at this bedhead? Honey Jumbles or Ladyfingers… or some other delicious sweet biscuit? 🤷🏻♀️
TBH, we were still busy trying to work out whether Lana called Bon’s choice of bedhead ‘clever’ or ‘pleather’ when we got eleventy billion messages saying “I want to eat that bedhead!” Say, whaaat?

We love a good reno challenge so were super excited when Julie Granger announced her project to the Reno School Community. Her plan was to relocate an old Queenlander home to a plot of land in the Byron Bay Hinterland… while project managing from 800kms away in Sydney… during a global pandemic. That’s no mean feat and you’ll be amazed when you see what Julie pulled off - it’s stunning and she shared the journey with us.

Have your holidays been cancelled courtesy of COVID? Grrrr… yes, mine too! A few months back I realised the overseas trip I had planned for the family in December was not going to happen. And now, with Australian borders shut and cities in lockdown, it’s looking like our domestic vacay plans might be replaced with a Sydney staycation too.

You’ll be kicking yourself if you miss this FREE 30 MINUTE TUTORIAL! I don't mean to alarm you, but the #1 thing that can get your stomach churning when building or renovating is the potential for a budget blowout!! It doesn't matter how big or small your project is. It doesn't matter if you've got $5k or $5m to spend.... everyone worries about their budget. And so they damn well should! It's a large chunk of money (sometimes your life savings) and you're going to spend it all on something you have little experience in. For many, it will be their FIRST TIME renovating or building anything. Now THAT is a pretty scary scenario.
