They say the magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave and even better to come back and that is exactly what this family wanted to create when they purchased their Bondi home and prepared to renovate. Like Marilyn Monroe, this 1920’s Californian-style bungalow was born with the bone structure to be a great beauty. From the outset, it was important the design reflect their personal journey as individuals along with celebrating their journey as a family. Using a limited colour palette of white walls and black floors, a minimalist canvas was created to tell their story. Sentimental accents captured from holiday photographs, cherished books, artwork and various pieces collected over the years from their travels added the layers and dimension to the home. Architrave sides in the hallway and cutout reveals were painted in high-gloss black adding contrast and depth to the space. Bathroom renovations followed the black a white theme incorporating black marble with white vein accents and exotic greenery was used throughout the home – both inside and out, adding a lushness reminiscent of time spent in the tropics. Like this family, this home has grown with a 3rd stage now in production - watch this space for more... Martine Payne & Deen Hameed

This Old Village home received a kitchen and master bathroom facelift. As a full renovation, we completely gutted both spaces and reinvented them as functional and upgraded rooms for this young family to enjoy for years to come. With the assistance of interior design selections by Krystine Edwards, the end result is glamorous yet inviting. Inside the master suite, the homeowners enter their renovated master bathroom through custom-made sliding barn doors. Hard pine floors were installed to match the rest of the home. To the right we installed a double vanity with wall-to-wall mirrors, Vitoria honed vanity top, campaign style hardware, and chrome faucets and sconces. Again, the Cliq Studios cabinets with inset drawers and doors were custom painted. The left side of the bathroom has an amazing free-standing tub but with a built-in niche on the adjacent wall. Finally, the large shower is dressed in Carrera Marble wall and floor tiles.
