Rebecca and Conor reached out, as they hated their front rooms. Having renovated large parts of their fabulous Federation home, they weren’t happy with the front end of the house and would always close the doors to the formal dining and laundry to avoid looking at them.

I designed with humans and pets in mind, and I came up with a design that suited everyone, brought in more natural light, and preserved the original molded ceilings. Rebecca even moved her office into the front rooms as she loves them that much, and she finishes each working day with a crossword with Charlie, the dog, in the new library.

Given how the front rooms turned out, Rebecca asked me to do the laundry and hallway as well.
