ENTRANCE Chris and Bob (pictured, above) adore their updated home. The enhanced entrance comes complete with a portico enclosed with custom aluminium decorative screen doors by The Blacksmiths.

KITCHEN & DINING AREA In one of the project’s most significant changes, a wall dividing the kitchen and dining area was demolished and replaced with shelving by Modern Nova (opposite), for a more open feel. “Now there’s a greater sense of connection to the kitchen, which really is the hub of the home where we love to congregate with friends,” says Chris. Shelves are adorned with treasures from the couple’s travels, including pots from Pompeii, a Vietnamese smoking pipe and an ornate Chinese box. The framed west African Akua’ba doll that sits above the fireplace in the dining area was found locally at the renowned Eumundi Markets. >
