Home of Ted didn't begin as a business.

It began with a slightly impulsive twenty-something-year-old who bought a miner's cottage she'd found on a road trip in a town she'd never heard of.

There was no grand plan.

Just a house that felt special and a growing obsession with making spaces feel like home.

Over the years that followed, I renovated and styled six homes across Victoria and New South Wales. Some ideas started were tiny and grew ambitious. All of them taught me something different about how people live and what turns a house into a home.

Somewhere amongst paint charts, marketplace finds, budget blowouts, moving boxes, dogs, babies and countless late-night furniture rearrangements, I realised the part I loved most wasn't the renovating.

It was the storytelling.

The way a room could reflect a family.
The way colour could change how a space felt.
The way a home could quietly hold the history of the people living inside it.

Today, Home of Ted exists to help others create homes that feel personal, layered and genuinely lived in.

Not homes that look like everyone else's.

Homes that tell your story.

These days you'll usually find me juggling moodboards, coffee cups, school drop-offs, Ted (the teddy like dog) under my feet, and two small humans who seem determined to redecorate every room I finish.

And honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Because the homes I love most aren't perfect.

They're full of life.

And that's exactly what Home of Ted is all about.
