Ideal Home Truths

Where is your happy place?

I have a few. On a surfboard in the sea, walking up a mountain in nature, on a yoga mat, reading a book at home, or building sandcastles with my children on the beach.

What's your home addiction?

I love woodwork and recently built my own TV cabinet unit into a recess in the lounge. Next project is a custom slide-out cupboard setup under the stairs.

What is your next home project?

Aside from wood works, the next major project is a new front garden setup – think Japanese stone paths meet raised beds for home farming - with plenty of tasty food growing and sweet smelling flowers. Add in some smart watering tech, solar powered lights and I should be out there a lot.
