DESIGNED WITH THE DOLL'S HOUSES OF YESTERYEAR IN MIND, THIS PRETTY HOME IS SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL
When Olli Ella co-founder and director Chloe Brookman hops on the phone to catch up with Home Beautiful, she sounds like she's been having a busy morning. "I'm laying tiles!" she says. "There's a side of the house with original concrete slabs that we were going to leave. Then we were like, 'You know what, let's try our hand at crazy paving.' So my husband and I are doing it right now." The mum of five has a track record of throwing herself into projects others see as challenging. Buying and renovating this Eastern Suburbs home in Sydney is top of the list.
