This Friday the team will leave for the Gold Coast and the Hawkesbury River.
Better homes and gardens this week it goes to the Gold Coast and the Hawkesbury River.
Johanna + Pete – Hope Island House
If it’s found in a place called ‘Hope Island’, it must be good. This week, Johanna and Pete chat around a luxury home on the Goldie and it doesn’t disappoint. Designed by renowned architect Stewart Osman, this five-bedroom stunner is full of curved walls and contemporary finishes. With a luxurious outdoor space, a saltwater pool and a designer kitchen, this really is what dreams are made of. Oh, and it also has a private pontoon, a boat, and beautiful water views. To top it all off, you can win this house…and the proceeds will go to charity. Join Johanna and Pete on a private tour.
Colin – Savory ricotta and zucchini tart with chili honey
Colin combines all the best flavors of spring in one tasty pie. He tops a puff pastry base with a mixture of ricotta, herbs and lemon and then tops it with lots of zucchini – although you can use whatever spring vegetables you like best. Served with a chilli-honey dressing drizzled on top, this dish takes 30 minutes to prepare… but it will disappear from the plate in seconds.
Charlie – What to do with a boring driveway
Certainly, ramps are very convenient. But most are also dull, boring and forgotten. This week Charlie shows you that’s not necessary. He transforms a concrete driveway into something beautiful. Best of all, there is no jackhammer involved, just simple and achievable projects that you can do in your home.
Adam – The table made of concrete, steel and wood
These days, designer furniture is all about combining industrial materials with high-quality finishes… and that can cost you an arm and a leg. This week, Adam shows you how to get the same look for a fraction of the price. He makes a coffee table with a base of concrete and steel, topped with a beautiful wooden top. The end result looks sleek and refined… but it’s actually a simple project that even novice woodworkers can tackle.
Dr. Harry – The wonderful world of fishing
From goldfish to cichlids, Siamese fighting fish, discus fish and everything in between, there’s a whole world of fish out there and Doctor Harry is diving into it. He’s at Kellyville Pets to see some of the amazing fish offered here and to learn more about what’s involved in keeping an aquarium in your home. Whether you’re just starting out or want to take your home aquarium to the next level, Dr. Harry has all the information you need.
Melissa– Jump into indoor and outdoor entertainment
Who hasn’t dreamed of spending more time outside now that the weather is getting warmer? Melissa creates the perfect space to do just that. She transforms a covered courtyard into a spring garden oasis, with plenty of vertical screening, greenery, plus style and character near the buckets. It’s the perfect space for entertaining and whether you have a courtyard, balcony or backyard, there are countless ideas you can incorporate into your home.
Graham – Wildflower Walk (Muogamarra Nature Reserve)
For nature lovers and native plant enthusiasts, it is difficult to find a nature reserve as diverse in unique plant life as the Muogamarra Nature Reserve just north of Sydney. Graham admires the spectacular views over the Hawkesbury River and takes us on a walking trail with two passionate conservationists from the National Parks and Wildlife Services team. To preserve the fragile ecosystems and indigenous cultural heritage, the reserve is only open six weeks a year and spring is the perfect time to go, as the bush transforms into a kaleidoscope of flowers and textures, sights and scents.
Juliet – The easiest bed head cover you will ever make
If you thought you needed a staple gun, expensive fabric and lots of special tools to make a bed head, think again! Juliet turns an old duvet and its cover into the ultimate bed head… and you won’t believe how easy it is and how good it looks!
Graham – Houseplants: indoors or in the office
Nowadays there are so many types of houseplants to choose from, so Graham’s shares its top picks for your home or office.
Friday 7pm on Seven. 7TWO.
