BUNNINGS October 2019

A word from
our editor
I’m a little bit in awe of those
talented people who can look
at an essentially sound but
thoroughly daggy room, and
know pretty well instantly what
they can do to make it look
stunning – especially if they
can do it on a budget. So I’ll
definitely tune into Bunnings’
new Make It Yours video
series, from October 14, where
some clever style creators will
turn a small, three-bedroom
house (see right) from bland
to beautiful, room by room,
and share the results online.
Check into youtube.com/
bunningswarehouse to watch
the transformations, and be
prepared to be inspired!
In other news, this issue we’d
like to think we’ve helped to
solve the perennial problem of
how to decorate with white
(see page 38), and of course,
we’re heading outside. There
are hints on how to restore
your deck on page 57, bring
outdoor furniture back to
life on page 63, and tips
on growing and displaying
gorgeous flowers on page 13.
Enjoy the issue!

We love Geneva of design blog
A Pair and a Spare for her
unique crafty style and keen
eye for a bargain. She’ll turn
her DIY and design skills
to the main bedroom.
@apairandaspare
Melbourne boys Az and Jamie
of design agency Haus of Cruze
will tackle the all-important
kitchen and dining area. Will
they stamp it with their signature
soft Scandi style? Stay tuned!
