Watsonia North Renovation, Victoria

with Taeler and Elle

 

Meet Taeler and Elle, with their Renovation Journey.

Victorian sisters Taelar and Elle enter the competition with an upper hand. Taelar is a graduate of architecture and a professional house flipper: an advantage they plan to use at every opportunity. HR Advisor Elle and her boyfriend, Brody, purchased purchased the Watsonia North house in 2022, and it remains in its original state.

The pair agree Taelar is the visionary and Elle is happy taking the back seat to let her sister’s creative side shine through. Taelar jokes her little sister can struggle to decide, sometimes unable to visualise the elusive final result. For Taelar, it’s where she thrives.

The sisters are incredibly close, talking on the phone multiple times a day. They dream of Elle’s new home, which would have a modern 70s aesthetic with rich tones and bold gestures.

They want to focus on natural materials, textures and tones; a far cry from the current solid brick, shag carpet, traditional 1960s merchant builder home which currently stands.

The duo hopes to see an entertaining space off the kitchen and living area and envision a backyard with a veggie patch, bonfire, and plenty of grass for Elle and Brody’s beloved golden retriever, Bambi.
