Crisp & CONTEMPORARY 13 Hilton Place Junee

Junee is a popular place to live and, with the reasonable prices for high quality homes, this beauty ticks every box for location, amenities and style in the new John Potts Estate.

The care taken to create a highly liveable place is a feature of this home with free-flowing areas making best use of the aspect and enjoy the wonderful climate of the Riverina.

Most family time is spent in the kitchen and family room and in this roomy and light-filled area, the features of the kitchen include Caesarstone benches, a five-burner gas stove and a walk-in pantry leading directly to the alfresco area in the private backyard. This area is tiled throughout.

The evening skies are spectacular and very accessible from the formal living area located at the front of the house. Ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling plus plantation shutters throughout the house enable the climate to be comfortably maintained all year ‘round.

The master bedroom is enhanced with a beautiful ensuite including double basins and large shower, plus a vast walk-in-wardrobe. The other two bedrooms have built-in wardrobes.

CHEAP DECORATING

Tips

By Katrina Chambers

A change of season, a new home, or just tired of the same old look? If you’re like me, you take any chance to freshen and liven things up in your home. I am always working on a budget. I need things to be affordable and easy to achieve because I know I’ll be changing things around again in a few months! Today I have five cheap decorating tips to share with you. Maybe you have these things already, or think you could add them to your home to turn an old area from drab to fab…

ADD A side table

Console tables are just about everywhere these days and they aren’t expensive. Kmart and ALDI have selections you can use, even if you don’t like the colour, you can always spray it a new shade. Choose something which is considered minimal as it will be easy to prop against a blank wall with minimal effort. Add a stack of books, a plant and candles and you’re done.

STACK SOME books

Hang a GALLERY WALL

This one is so simple and you can make this happen in no time at all.

Frames are so cheap to buy at Kmart or IKEA then download prints from Etsy, or shop online at a place like Norsu or Lila + Lola. I personally like to trace around each frame with a piece of paper, bluetac them on the wall to check out the pattern then hang them when I am happy with the placement. Stick to themes – like black, botanicals or floral. Whatever you fancy, head to Pinterest, type up ‘gallery wall’ and you’ll have endless ideas.

ADD A mirror

A mirror can be used just about anywhere. Every room, every wall… You can’t go wrong. I love the round mirror trend, but I am more in love with a huge floor mirror leaning somewhere. It reflects light, makes the space feel bigger and easily fills that space ‘you don’t know what to do with’.

Check out Kmart and IKEA for cheap mirrors or, if you’re feeling clever, look for mirrors for sale on those Facebook Buy Swap Sell pages then add your own frame.

Make your own BEDHEAD

Ok, not for everyone (especially if you’re a minimalist), but a stack of books adds interest to a room. They quickly fill corners and gives purpose to all those magazines we collect. Stack them high for interest or colourcoordinate books on a console table; use them on coffee tables too. Don’t let all those magazines gather dust in your garage or spare room – get them out and use them!

You can totally do this; it’s not that scary! A piece of simple plywood can transform your bedroom in no time. I love a DIY bedhead. You can use pallets, cane screens, wood offcuts, or even fabric. It’s so cheap and the best part is that you can make it as tall and as wide as you like. Pinterest has pages of inspiration.

WEEKLY GARDENING

January VEGETABLE PLANTING GUIDE Although it seems counter-intuitive, high summer is the time to sow seeds for late autumn and winter crops.

Finding the best quality seeds is the first part of the process; the second is to create the ideal conditions for the seeds in which to flourish and reach their full potential.

of soil, water well, apply mulch then sow seeds according to the instructions.

The humus in the manure will hold moisture for days, and the physical barrier of the mulch will prevent moisture from being evaporated from the soil even on the hottest of days.

Root crops need deep friable soils with plenty of nutrients such as well aged animal manures mixed with the soil. Make trenches about 40cm deep and 30cm wide and water the entire area slowly to ensure full infiltration of the water. Mulch to a depth of 15cm with Lucerne hay then sow the seeds according to the instructions on the packet.

Water in the early morning before the sun is up

For leafy and fruit (e.g. beans) bearing crops combine the rotted manure into the top 30cm

Preparation is the key to an abundant crop later in

or when the sun has set either with a hose or drip-irrigation. Avoid getting the leaves wet during these hot summer days as they can scorch.

Take photos of your veggie plot, date and keep a record of progress. the year and, happy and delicious gardening.
