Exclusive interview: Andrew Winter’s bathroom makeovers

As the host of Foxtel’s Love it or List It Australia and Selling Houses Australia, it’s safe to say that Andrew Winter is a bona fide residential property expert. So, when the serial renovator reached out with pictures of his new bathrooms, inside his new house, we were keen to take a look and get some design advice at the same time.

Tour an absolutely charming southern style farmhouse in

ID Studio Interiors is responsible for designing this beautiful southern style farmhouse nestled on 20 acres in Greenville, a city in South Carolina. Created for a family of six, the vision for this project was to have warm, family-friendly interiors that would serve them for many years to come.

See this stunning midcentury modern home renovation in

Architectural studio Drawing Dept is responsible for the extensive renovation of a midcentury modern home built in 1952 by noted modernist architect, Carl Strauss. Nestled into a wooded hillside of Cincinnati, Ohio the existing dwelling survived while adjacent homes were demolished to make space for large mansions in this desirable neighborhood.

Its greatest asset lay tucked behind the front door, where panoramic views of the city and river unfolded to the unsuspecting visitor.
Over time the house suffered an insensitive addition, poorly executed ‘improvements’, and over 60 years of exposure to Cincinnati weather.
