AUSTRALIAN HOUSE & GARDEN
YOUR H&G • The townhouse I’ve been renting out for more than 20 years was well in need of a spruce up and, since I was planning to move in myself, I invested in a new kitchen, laundry and garden makeover. But I didn’t stop there: H&G spurred me to consider other possibilities, and I recently submitted my planning application to add an upper level. Structure sorted, my H&G collection is out again, this time for interior inspiration. It’s now starting to take shape – so exciting! Jeanie Crowder, Malvern East, Victoria
