Welcome to the Collector’s Edition of Home Beautiful, an issue where I had the honour of being the Guest Editor. 

With so many beautiful and varied KWD projects to share, I relished the opportunity to not only showcase our work, but also to share and impart the knowledge I have gained with over 20 years in the building and design industry. It was very important to me to support Home Beautiful’s audience with tips, tricks and detailed guidance to elevate their own home renovation project. Not everyone has the capacity for bespoke custom interior design, however I believe everyone has the right to be in a well-designed home – because when a home is designed well it amplifies the way you live. 

Often times when looking through interior magazines it can be more about the visual feast with a quick page turn rather than absorbing detailed information. So whilst this issue is filled with beautiful imagery , it’s the words that are written throughout that provide the magic. 

So please get yourself a copy, sit down, settle in and take your time to read and absorb the words that have been so carefully crafted to impart as much inspiration as possible. If you do, I promise you will refer back to it time and time again when designing any space within your home. 

Welcome to my Masterclass in the Art of Joyful Living. 

Thank you to Elle, Victoria and Katrina and the Home Beautiful team for allowing me the creative freedom to edit this issue the KWD way.
