Built to last

Lisa and Toby’s home is a single-brick structure with a Colorbond roof. It was in good condition, so a full renovation was delayed. In the meantime, Lisa has transformed the once-bland interior with warm sisal over the tiled floors and new wallpaper in two of the bedrooms plus many other tweaks. Her family can see themselves enjoying the home for many years to come. “The kids can have their 21st birthdays and get married here,” she says.
