Entry design at Vermont

31/03/2026

A remarkable transformation, made even more special by how much of the home’s original character we were able to preserve. The exposed brick, original fireplace, leadlight windows and VJ panelling all remain, layered into a fresh new vision that honours the story of the home. A beautiful piece of Melbourne history, built using bricks from the old Coops Shot Tower, now reimagined for modern living.

“It’s gone from being the least used room in the house, to the most used room in the house” - David, Vermont.

If you have a room that naturally feels dark… don’t fight it…lean into it.

By combining this rich, moody green with crisp white, we struck the perfect balance between light and dark. The result is a space that feels cosy, sophisticated and intentionally dramatic… without tipping into overwhelm. It’s now my clients favourite room in the house!

When I first stepped into this stunning Vermont home, I was struck by the generous proportions — but the heavy red brick and poor lighting made the entry feel dark and uninviting.

Our goal was to honor the home’s character while creating a brighter, more welcoming space. We plastered over the brick and painted the walls in a soft natural white, keeping the VJ panels and highlighting them in crisp Vivid White. The heavy cast-iron light was replaced with three David Trubridge Coral pendants, bringing a lighter, more layered glow. Travertine tiles gave way to oak-engineered flooring, and the staircase was sanded, painted white, and fitted with a cushioned runner.

Every detail (from the lighting to the floors and staircase) was carefully considered to create a warm, inviting first impression for this forever home.

Happy New Year to all of my wonderful clients and followers. I hope 2026 has been treating you well so far. I am feeling fresh and excited to jump into 2026!

NEW PROJECT TO SHARE...

I’ll be sharing the epic transformation of this impressive double redbrick property, over the coming weeks/months. This house sits on approximately 2,600m² in the leafy eastern suburb of Vermont.

The home’s exterior and interior features extensive exposed red brick, which we agreed felt overdone. To honour the brick’s origin—salvaged from Melbourne’s historic shot tower in Melbourne Central—we decided to retain some of its character while covering or softening the rest.

Given the large scope of work for this project, we decided to tackle it in two stages. In the first stage, we focused on redesigning the entrance, formal living/office, kitchen-dining area, and rumpus room.

My clients wanted a brighter, more welcoming home while preserving the building’s classic character. We went for a classic style with subtle country farmhouse touches throughout.

Our mutual love for dark green, inspired the modern country-style kitchen. From there we pulled this colour palette into the (already dark) lounge room, to embrace a cosy/moody environment. The thoughtful shades of green work so beautifully with the volume of leafy trees peering through the windows.

The dark foyer was transformed into a light and bright, welcoming entrance, while the rumpus room became far more functional and thoughtfully considered for entertaining.

Stay tuned over the coming weeks while I unpack this dreamy project for you!
