My parent's home of 55 years, the one where my sisters and I grew up, is now on the market. From an architectural perspective, it is a lovely, but not architecturally significant home, set on an oversized block with decades worth of love and labour spent on the extensive gardens. The home is flooded with natural light and has garden vistas from every window. It is full of our memories of the good times and our cherished childhoods.I have written a new blog post "Reflections on a cherished childhood - putting the family home on the market" for Secret Design Studio with more photos and a link to the listing.secretdesignstudio.com/reflections-on-a-cherished-childhood-putting-the-family-home-on-the-market/Here is a link to the agent's video: youtu.be/M4eSTix0UrMThe most controversial aspect about the whole endeavour has been the styling, and I hope to write another blog about what we learnt about the real estate styling process, their formulas and the industry in the near future. ...

I have written a new blog post "Reflections on a cherished childhood - putting the family home on the market" for Secret Design Studio.

The most controversial aspect about the whole endeavour has been the styling, and I hope to write another blog about what we learnt about the real estate styling process, their formulas and the industry in the near future. @raywhite.uppernorthshore @thomasmerriman
Which is faster, moped, or retired racing greyhoun Which is faster, moped, or retired racing greyhound? I haven't tested our #GAP foster greyhound, "Socks" against a moped, but I suspect that he may be faster with acceleration and over a short distance. Greyhounds are bred for short bursts of speed rather than stamina, so the moped will be able to maintain its top speed for much longer. In fact, Socks only needs 15 to 20 minutes walking a day, gets tired out, and is happy to snooze under my desk for the rest of the day. He will make a perfect working from home buddy for the lucky person who adopts him. #greyhoundsofinstagram #greyhound #greyhoundadoption
Only one week left with our gorgeous Christmas fos Only one week left with our gorgeous Christmas foster #greyhound, "Socks", until he returns to Victoria's Greyhound Adoption Program, hopefully to find his forever home. As part of the fostering program we have been tasked with broadening his life experience so he is more resilient to new adventures in his post-racing life. I was so proud of him today as we spent the morning exploring bustling #carlton with its trams, street side cafes and busy shopping strip which he easily took in his stride.  If you would like to meet Mr Socks in a home environment, with potentially looking to adopt him through GAP on his return to kennels please contact me. A shoutout to the other two GAP greyhounds that we met in a park who had just moved to Carlton. #GAP #greyhoundsofinstagram #greyhoundadoption #greyhoundlove
Merry Christmas from the team at Secret Design Stu Merry Christmas from the team at Secret Design Studio including our gorgeous foster greyhound called "Socks" from Victoria's Greyhound Adoption Program. As you can see he has settled in beautifully to living in his first house, although his favourite place is under an empty workstation in the Secret Design Studio while I am working. He is large at 37kg, would suit a mature household, without little kids, and will be returning to GAP to hopefully find his forever home on 7th January. If you are considering adopting a new family member who loves people and company, and you would like to meet Socks in a home environment please contact me.  #gap #greyhoundlove #greyhoundadoption
With Christmas just around the corner, you are pro With Christmas just around the corner, you are probably wondering where did 2022 go? How are all those renovations and home improvements progressing that you had planned for this year? Have you considered gifting a Secret Design Studio gift certificate to a loved one, yourself, or your home to help move things along?

The beauty of one of these gift certificates is that it can be redeemed in 2023 or later for any of our design services that are available in your location Australia-wide. A $165 discount represents a 25% saving on our Christmas gift certificates, but is limited, and our newsletter subscribers have already grabbed a bunch, so there aren’t many left.
