Treasure TROVE

Living the high life As the magnetic directors of hospitality agency The Big Group, Chyka and Bruce (pictured opposite, in their kitchen) design whimsical and stylish events, from high-society Melbourne Cup parties to a royal wedding in Saudi Arabia featuring seven elephants. They've instilled this same sense of wonder and fun in their Richmond abode in Victoria.

INSIDE STORY

Chyka & Bruce's home

Who lives here? Entertaining doyen, author and TV personality, Chyka Keebaugh, her husband Bruce and Cavoodle, Otto. They're both founders of catering and events company The Big Group. Their adult children, Chessie, 31, and BJ, 29, are frequent visitors.

How do you like to entertain? Chyka: “We love cocktail parties and dinner parties; we can comfortably seat about 12 people here.” Bruce: “Sometimes it’s nicer to have three or four people over for a beautiful lunch, so you can really connect. That said, I often end up inviting everybody.”

Best styling tip? Chyka: “Move your decor around every couple of months. I get so much joy from changing things up.”
