Kristy & Mark’s home

Who lives here?

Kristy, a stay-at-home mum; husband Mark, a company director; their children, Joshua, 10; Ruby, nine; Lachlan, six; Stella, four; dogs Milly and Hudson; ponies Rivi the palomino and Teddy the Shetland.

What is your decorating style?

Kristy: “I don’t like too much clutter and I love everything to be meaningful. So most items serve a purpose or reflect my love of the country and the beach, which creates a modern country/coastal style.”

What do you love about the location?

“We’re so close to the city and the kids’ schools, yet it feels like we’re in the country and so we get to experience both.”

Is there anything left to do?

“We’re waiting for the garden to grow and watch it establish over time.”
