As someone who is currently planning renos, I know firsthand that everything costs more than you think it will, especially when you get trades involved and have to factor in labour. With house prices as they are, by the time you’ve struggled to buy your home, there’s often not much left over to get it looking how you want it. This is such an amazing opportunity for someone and I can’t wait to see what the winner does with the money. We’ll be sharing the before and after with you here too!
For your chance to win, we’re simply asking you to share what you’d do with the money and why you deserve to win, and send us a photo of the space you’re looking to make better.
The winner will also get a Skype call with me and our resident renovation expert, the extremely talented and experienced Naomi Findlay, with more than 100 renos to her name. We can’t wait to bounce ideas around with you!
Please ensure you read the terms and conditions carefully. Entries close Sunday 30ย July 2017 at 11.59pm AEST.

I was just mentally planning the downstairs bathroom reno (like I have been for the past 9 years) The magazine cuttings on the wall there are now so faded I can barely see the look I am after. And then this popped up in my feed. Could be a sign?! Am so going to enter!

The more i think of it…the more i jump from one idea to the other. From the master bedroom, to carpeting, to the bathroom to a nursery ? and to all the little things weve left undone (door knobs, light fittings, shelving and furniture)…one thing that jumps out is our current plan to do an outdoor deck and pergola…we love entertaining outside and would the extra room to our cosy little townhouse…that being paid for would be our dream. What a great competition
