ABOUT THE HOUSE

• The interior of the house was originally more colourful — a mix of Victorian pinks and greens. The Thumpstons painted the walls Dulux Whisper White and used Taubmans Ostrich Feather on the doors and architraves. dulux.com.au; taubmans.com.au • The exterior of the house is painted in Wattyl Colorbond Bushland. wattyl.com.au • The kitchen tiles are from Biga+ and the duel-fuel Belling oven is from Harvey Norman. bigaplus.com.au; harveynorman.com.au • Meg and Neil are often found rummaging through local antique shops and beyond. Their favourite haunts include Victory Theatre Antique Centre and Café at Blackheath in the Blue Mountains and Lydie du Bray Antiques at Mittagong in the NSW Southern Highlands. victorytheatre.com.au; lydiedubrayantiques.com.au • The Thumpstons enlisted Paramount Floor Sanding from Mount Victoria to repair the floors.
