I’m excited to flick the switch off for our indoor heating and step outside to soak up the blissful sunshine once again.
Oh, and let’s not forget how refreshing it feels to open the windows in our homes, letting that fresh air back in.
There’s something truly magical about all the seasons we experience each year, but the warmer ones are by far my favourite.
It’s been a big year for the features team, as I’m sure it has been for many of you too.
So, get ready to kick off your shoes and relax with this next edition.
Like always, we have an incredible home renovation story that’s ready to be showcased, and at this time of year, we absolutely love catching up with some talented gardeners for inspiration and tips.
But this magazine offers more than just homes and gardens; it’s a complete package that encompasses so much more.
We have recipes that will inspire you to head straight to the kitchen, and we’ve reached out to professionals to uncover the latest trends in home design, including lighting, home décor and tiles.
Have you ever wondered what the most sought-after collectors’ items are?
Or how to navigate the current cost-of-living pressures?
Well, wonder no more, and take a peep inside.
If you’re up for a challenge, I found a fantastic method to de-clutter your home in just 50 minutes.
I haven’t had the chance to try it myself yet, but it’s definitely on my bucket list to wrap up the year.
One article I’m particularly excited for you to read features the work of artist Tim Bowtell, whose creativity transforms homes into unimaginable works of art.
Sheds, shipping containers, fences — if you can dream it, he can do it.
And, as always, no edition is complete without family fun ideas with a list of popular board games for you to try.
This edition is packed with inspiration and practical tips to elevate your home and life.
We hope you find something that sparks joy and creativity as you dive in.
Here’s to making the most of the season ahead and to ending 2024 on a high note.
Enjoy, until next time, Kelly Carmody and the Our Home team.
