Interior designer and TV presenter Sibella Court is an expert at creating spaces that feel like they have a storied past, and her Bundeena family home is the perfect example. It took a five-year renovation to bring the interiors to life (designed around the character of an imagined sailor!), using salvaged materials and vintage treasures that fill the house with character! 

Hear how the project evolved into her own 'experimental design lab', along with her tips and tricks for creating eclectic interiors. See photos of this unique abode in the full story on The Design Files here, and follow Sibella for more on Instagram here.
