I am a big fan of Alexandrena’s work and so happy to get a peek into her stunning home.It is so bright and airy and yet looks so inviting and comfortable.
Alexandrena lives here together with her husband Michael and daughter Ruby. A house that used to be a post office and a house that at the time of purchasing had no kitchen or bathroom.
Luckily Michael is a carpenter and was able to undertake the renovations himself. Including adding a 30 sqm extension, building extra walls, and little Ruby’s bedroom. The couple managed to keep elements of the original property, such as the hallway, flooring and windows.
Let’s go on a tour and start with the children’s room, that has a little romantic touch:
Vintage furniture, cute wallpaper, beautiful bedding and net curtains to add some softness. A magical and playful universe!
Ruby even has a little ‘villa’ in the garden. I am sure it made the last months of lockdown in Australia a little easier.
So crisp and clean. A very Scandinavian inspired interior design but with its own charm and atmosphere. Beautiful!
I am still hoping to have a project like this one day. Maybe not a complete makeover with extensions and building bathrooms. But a place that we can just make our very own. Dream!
