InsIde the house of harvee If you’ve ever taken a look inside the House of Harvee, you’ve probably had some serious home-envy! Its creator Krystal, wife to Aldo Daharby and mother of three gorgeous kids, has an absolute eye for style and design and her kitchen and new pool area are absolute knockouts. The kitchen has even been featured on the cover of Adore magazine. Krystal’s “day job” is in the beauty industry running her own wedding and events hairstyling business, however her other love is interiors and styling which she documents on her blog and Instagram. We chat to Krystal about the inspiration behind her style and life as a mum.
renovating. Let me tell you, from that first wall rip down, we were HOOKED.
First of all, tell us a little bit about your family.
I think about this all the time as my inbox is filled with enquiries. I am very open to anything that comes my way. If there is an opportunity down that road that inspires and excites me, then yes for sure. I would love to be able to help people make their homes a place they absolutely love!
We are a family of 6, Aldo, Krystal, Vienna, Harlow, Avery and our puppy Alfred. Hubby and I have been together for 14 years and married for 10. We laugh A LOT and we dance even more. We spend most of our time at home, watching movies or having our own dance parties, although we are always up for an adventure.
Your home is now awash with white walls and a stunning neutral/pink palette. What was it like when you first moved in? Ok think browns, lattes and hogbristle walls (yuk)… that was all very IN back in 2010 when we built the home and at the time I wanted it to be exactly like the display homes I had visited. It wasn’t until we actually moved in that I realised, whilst the house was brand new it just didn’t FEEL like US!
Had you done any renovating before? Never! I had been ‘restyling” the rooms in my home for a few years but never actually any 6
Where does your style and inspiration come from? I spend a lot of time of Pinterest and Instagram and I love a good interior magazine. I like to take tiny bits of inspiration from all different images I have saved and put them together to make something unique for my home. I make a lot of my decisions based on how I want to FEEL when I’m in the space.
Any plans to make a career out of property styling/renovation?
What’s your favourite room in the house? Ohh this answer changes daily depending on which room is the cleanest, haha. I think my bedroom is a really beautiful and calm space and it gets gorgeous afternoon light shining through the shutters. But the kitchen and pink loungeroom (pink couch) is also a gorgeous place to sit and have tea and listen to music!
Favourite homeware brand? Ahh I have so many, I love Globewest, Paolo and Joy, Clo studios, Eadie Lifestyle, Norsu interiors and many more.
Best purchase of 2022 so far? I’m going to have to say the STUNNING tiles I have purchased for the bathroom that I am currently renovating! Wait till you see them.
