In the May 2009, special colour issue (which hit the stands yesterday), and still to my husband's disbelief - 8 pages are dedicated to our humble abode (yes it's the one in West Belconnen). I can't tell you how simultaneously excited and nervy I am, but here it is... enjoy...
If you are new to Canberra's Got Style, welcome! And if you are keen to see more of my home, here are a few links to start you off... here... here... here... and here...
And, if I may just note a couple of small corrections: the floor plan incorrectly labels our outdoor deck area as the dining! if only I had that extra luxury of space.
And credit must go to Dylan's Granny for making his fabulous bedspread - she's such a clever thing - check out the secret pocket in it ...cute!

And stay tuned for the full before and after journey of our house, it's a doozy! You'll love it!
For now though, get your copy of the May issue of Australian Home Beautiful magazine, I hope you like it,
Love Nina x

Oh My Goodness, How divine!
If i was not already in my PJ's I would be out and buying it right now. Wonder if I can bribe the hubby.... Please?
Good on you, Lisa. A friend emailed me from Helensburgh about the story. I'm looking forward to seeing it, from what I can see here it looks brilliant.
Hurrah for West Belconnen stylistas!

That's awesome, the before photos were really something!
I have just come across your blog via this issue. I am LOVING it! One of the images I esp liked was of the red frame with apples in it? It is behind you in one of the shots. Is this something you made? It looks gorgeous and I love the frame itself. I have been looking for a pink one...
Thank you for sharing your space!

Jennifer Barker, Thankyou! yes the apples were a total DIY - including the frame! I used 12 x 65mm pine, mitred at the corners and fixed directly to the canvas edges, painted in high gloss red paint for a bit of melodrama!
Cheers,
Lisa (nina)x
Man, I've been heading over to your other blog wonder what the hell you have been doing then I remembered... ...Canberra

Nina congratulations on the fabulous spread!!!
I am trying to be an interior designer while working full-time and I have been following your blog for a while now.. very inspirational!
Keep up the good work, I'm so glad that Canberra is now becoming more design conscious and this is nothing short of your work as well :) Congrats again!
