2023 Specsavers

Press & Media Autumn Winter 2023 – 10 Magazine

Rosedale NSW

Asked how many homes she has ‘Dinniganed’ in the past two decades, she pauses before answering: “Twelve – maybe fifteen?” The uniting thread might be an abiding passion for white walls, yet her décor rarely resembles the Romanticism of her fashion designs.

Bannisters, Mollymook NSW

This was a totally unique property that had four blocks of land that needed upgrading from an outdated renovation. I wanted to make it feel contemporary while keeping its classical elegance.

COLLETTE’S KITCHEN

I picked these broad beans last night in my vegetable garden. I was going to add them to a salad but ended up blanching them and creating a new bruschetta.

Paddington Cottage, Sydney NSW

A sandstone heritage house in the heart of Paddington that needed a total renovation

White House Milton, NSW

This was one of the original dairy farms on the south coast. I kept the old butter shed turning it into a magical bedroom sweetly located a few metres from the main house.

Palm Beach House, NSW

This was a run down 1970s beach shack that had good bones and an incredible view across Pittwater. The challenge was to retain its charm while upgrading. The external walls were painted a pale New England grey and the window frames painted in goose white.

Golf House Luxury Apartments, Sydney NSW

An iconic site in Sydney’s CBD overlooking Central Railway Station Golf House’s urban location demanded a modern treatment.

Black Barn Bowral, Southern Highlands NSW

This was the first barn I renovated.
