Having initially bought this house as a weekend retreat, artist and graphic designer Georgie Wilson and her husband Chris, managing director of Fathom Creative , decided to move permanently down the coast from Melbourne two years later. Along with their two young children and Sookie the bull terrier, they had to undertake a renovation to make the 1960s-era coastal house work for them as a full-time home.
They reconfigured the layout of the upstairs space, opening up the kitchen, living, and dining area to be an airy, modern space. They also added on a home studio for both Georgie and Chris to work from. Absolutely filled with Georgie’s colorful artwork (along with the art of talented friends), it’s a stunning, creative home nestled among the among the trees on the Mornington Peninsula.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: Eclectic, mid-century Inspiration: Mid-century and boho vibes
Favorite Element: Ply timber—it adds this lovely golden warmth Biggest Challenge: Two kids’ and hubby’s clutter in an open plan space!
What Friends Say: Our house is so interesting and colorful. Biggest Embarrassment: Still don’t have a laundry [room]! The washing machine sits outside under an awning made out of old doors that Chris built for me (but it still works fine until the next reno!)
Proudest DIY: Painting the splashback [backsplash] wall in our kitchen a new color every couple of months! It transforms the space and gives me new energy. Biggest Indulgence: Buying new rugs—was a game changer in the space!
Best Advice: Wait until you find what you want furniture-wise and in the meantime, distract with indoor plants. Greenery always makes everything look beautiful. Dream Sources: Leonard Joel Auction House , CCSS Shop , Space, Facebook Marketplace, Greenhouse Interiors , Ebay, Dulux paint
