H G LETTERS
YOUR H&G Wow, wow, wow! White hot indeed! I get so excited when the new issue’s cover pops up on Instagram each month. I race out to purchase the magazine with absolute impatience, but once it’s in my hands, I take my time. The feature about the Three Birds Renovations project (‘Heart-Melting Moments’, June issue) was simply the best example I’ve seen of the current design styles. The bathroom and laundries special arrived at just the right time for my renovation project too – I can’t wait include some of the pieces in my own home.

As a serial rescuer of unwanted items from the side of the road, I love your new series ‘About A Grand Design’. It’s so rewarding when friends and family admire a piece I have upcycled. Thank you for highlighting a fun and environmentally sustainable hobby with a stunning room created by a fellow ‘second-hand’ lover. One person’s trash really is another’s treasure!

adults – to tagging pages to inspire the design and decoration of the 28 homes I lived in before my 29th (and final!) move into an apartment a year ago, the pleasures of my monthly treat roll on. I intend to learn more and experiment more as I continue to be inspired by the fabulous ideas within the pages of Australian House & Garden. Thanks for all the good times, my constant companion.

I’m currently devouring the June issue of H&G and it has me reflecting on the impact Australian House & Garden has had on my life over the years. From peeping at the pages over the heads of breastfeeding babies – all three of whom are now lovely, lively young 20 |

My husband and I have almost completed a major renovation to create a home that is suitable for multigenerational living. The absolute pleasure I feel when the new issue of H&G arrives each month is second to none – there is inspiration to be found on every page, cover to cover. Thank you so much for helping me to keep my eyes on the prize. The end is in sight! Annette Duncan, Castle Hill, NSW
