Turning something that is run-down into an inviting space again is very rewarding. This is one of our favourite ever transformations in the Perth suburb of Mount Lawley: After - top storey addition, open plan living extension at the rear, indoor/outdoor living complete with an outdoor kitchen. Just stunning.

Location is everything, I do love my house though but I often think if it wasn't where it is would I still love it as much and find its flaws quirky..and the answer is no, but it is where it is and it is where I want to be..so love, love, love

I like Mary Margaret's apartment in Once upon a time. That kind of space would work great for our family. I'd like somewhere more open to the garden though. I also love the house in Nanny McPhee. Especially the way each room is a different colour. I think that's a great idea for a big old house. I'd paint the hallway all white, walls, floor everything. And each room a different colour.

I'm not that keen on it. While I love traditional homes, this one doesn't relate to Australia at all. It's not our venacular and seems particularly American. Jacuzzi? I thought we all threw those away in the 80's?
