Welcome Back to Renovating Australia today’s episode is another pre-record and it is with our faves from Zephyr and Stone 

Now the content of this episode is incredible but I do want to preface that we lost all of our connectivity with zoom right at the start of this one so if you hear us talk over each other it’s because we were running pretty blind! 

Regardless there is so much gold in here - we talk about 

• Where Zephyr and Stone started 
• How they self-taught all of the knowledge they have today 
• Game changing tips for your kitchen layout 
• The number one splurge you must all have for your home 
• And so much more

Today on the podcast we speak to Emily and Dave from Hawney House Reno 

You’ll laugh at the start as I  (Alycia) try to figure out how to pronounce Hawney House and we decided to keep that in as it really set the tone for the fun and vibrant Real Life Reno chat that this is. 

Aside from creating a truly Pinterest worthy home You may Know Emily and Dave from their cute Swimwear brand @pinaandpalma or Em’s beautiful leather brand @elzapato_  - these incredible entrepreneurs talk us through running businesses, navigating covid and getting everything done with a baby on the way and very tight timelines! 

Em & Dave are generous enough to share some top secret tips about their international suppliers along with advice for creating that perfect outdoor area.

We also chat through what it’s like doing a renovation with a builder especially if you like to be across all the details.
