We often get asked: Beadcrete or a fully tiled pool?
We’ve now experienced both and honestly, we’d choose Beadcrete.
This one is fully tiled, which looks incredible, but it definitely shows the dirt more easily, which is slightly problematic given we’ve been minus a pool man since this event (thankfully fully captured on our security cameras 🙌).
Beadcrete is also more cost-effective and now that we’ve experienced both, it’s the option we’d choose again in future.
Side note: Brand new phone + EarPods lost in the process.
Pool: 1
Husband: 0

There’s always more behind what you see online.
This is just a small glimpse into our story, the highs, the challenges and everything in between.
We’ve learnt a lot about ourselves
and a lot about others. We’ve grown in ways we never expected and realised how important it is to protect your energy back yourself and surround yourself with the right people.
It’s actually quite uncanny, while we were reflecting on our journey tonight, this quote came up in our feed “don’t eat with people you wouldn’t starve with.” And it couldn’t be more true.
The people around you matter! The ones who stand by you in the hard moments, not just the highlights. We won’t ever forget the ones
who have stood by us through it all and when we’re billionaires, you’ll be first on the list 🤝😂
We honestly can’t wait to share what’s next with you all 🤍

Luxurious & functional ✔️
Our Pill Mirrored Cabinet sits elegantly in the ensuite of the HAAUS. 4 project by the lovely @haausdesign . By recessing the mirrored cabinet into the wall, it creates a beautiful and seamless look.
Paired with our Waverley vanity, Flume Above Counter Basins and Bloom Tapware in Light Brushed Brass ✨️

The @deco_australia details we always get asked about.
Every time we share the exterior of HAAUS.5 + HAAUS.6, the questions come in:
~ what colour is that?
~ is it timber?
~ what is the spacing between battens
~ what did you use on the garage?
~ what’s the cladding?
~ what’s around the balcony?
So here’s the quick breakdown:
We wanted the exterior to feel warm and coastal, but without committing to real timber maintenance, especially this close to the ocean.
Save this one for your next build 🤍

Where to save vs where to spend: This is one thing we wouldn’t spend crazy amounts of money on again.
We upgraded ours in HAAUS.5 and while they looked great at first, in reality they stick, most are hard to turn on and off, some plates have fallen off the wall and we’re constantly fixing them.
And in reality, no one has ever walked into the house and said, “Wow, I love your light switches.”
Moving forward, we’d save the money and use the good old basic switches and put additional funds into more important things.

Dropped my phone. Chipped the floor.
Thank goodness we live in the era of very clever repair kits, colour matching and tiny fixes that save you from spiralling over one little mark.
A reminder that new homes still get lived in, floors still get chipped and sometimes the best design lesson is learning what can actually be repaired.

Plan, plan, plan and early! Integrated joinery is one of those details that completely transforms a home, not just aesthetically, but functionally too. Seamless storage, cleaner lines and every space designed to feel calm, cohesive, and clutter-free.

There’s something undeniably luxurious about a double shower. Beyond the aesthetic, a double shower is one of those design choices that completely changes how a bathroom feels and functions.
A few reasons we love double showers:
✔️More functional for couples or families
✔️Creates balance and symmetry in the space
✔️Makes larger bathrooms feel better designed
✔️Adds a high-end, resort-style feel
✔️Perfect for open wet-room layouts
Design tip:
When planning a double shower, think beyond just adding a second shower head. Consider drainage, lighting, niches, towel placement and making sure both sides feel equally functional and visually balanced.
Would you add a double shower to your dream bathroom?

Lesson learnt!
Not exactly how I planned to spend Mother’s Day, but it’s my own fault for not listening to the hundreds of people who warned me not to plant bamboo in the first place.
A few thousand dollars later, it’s safe to say I won’t be making that mistake again.
