Tanya’s top five

Australian House & Garden

YOUR H&G • Wow, wow, wow! White hot indeed! I get so excited when the new issue’s cover pops up on Instagram each month. I race out to purchase the magazine with absolute impatience, but once it’s in my hands, I take my time. The feature about the Three Birds Renovations project (‘Heart-Melting Moments’, June issue) was simply the best example I’ve seen of the current design styles. The bathroom and laundries special arrived at just the right time for my renovation project too – I can’t wait include some of the pieces in my own home. Roxanna Ford, Spring field, Queensland
