INSIDE STORY REBECCA & PAUL’S HOME

-

Who lives here? Rebecca, a fashion buyer; her husband Paul, who owns and operates a building company; and their children, Isabella, 10, and Miller, eight. Favourite aspects of the home?

Paul: “It’s a great home for entertaini­ng and we often have friends and family staying.” What’s it like having your wife as a client?

“Thankfully Rebecca and I have very similar tastes. We learnt from our last renovation that bouncing ideas off each other challenges us to come up with better solutions.” Advice to others?

“Instead of the more typical method of building first and landscapin­g last, we did it the other way around. We got planting advice and would spend weekends in the garden, which meant everything was reasonably well-establishe­d when it came time to enjoy our outdoor spaces.”
