In this episode of She Renovates, Bernadette Janson speaks with Tina Dawes, an interior and building designer and the senior design consultant at Caroma showroom at the Design Center in Brisbane. Tina discusses the latest bathroom trends and products available for renovators, as well as the new Livable Housing laws and requirements for making homes more accessible. With over 30 years of experience in construction and renovating, Tina shares her expertise in the industry and offers valuable insights for those embarking on a renovation project.

“I think the best thing I ever did was working on the tools with the boys on the site, getting my hands dirty because as a designer there's only a certain amount of things you can learn on a piece of paper or on a screen, and there's nothing quite like getting your hands dirty and seeing how it actually all goes together.”

In this She Renovates podcast, Bernadette Janson speaks to professional organiser, Virginia Wells about breakthrough ways to improve the quality of your renovation projects through better organisation.

When Virginia Wells, a professional organizer, and productivity coach, helps a renovator tackle their chaotic project, she must overcome her client's denial of the problem and create custom storage solutions that are both manageable and efficient.

"By having cupboards and storage that is able to be changed and adjustable shelves, you can make it easier to fit in what you want in any given space and create storage solutions that make you smile when you move in."

Virginia Wells is a professional organizer located in Canberra and an accredited member of the Institute of Professional Organizers and the Institute for Challenging Disorganization. She enjoys helping people to let go of their stuff so they can live their life more harmoniously.

Virginia Wells was faced with the challenge of organizing a space for multiple visitors. Through her research, she discovered Decluttering and Organizing, which she realized was the key to keeping things in order. She was inspired to become a Professional Organizer and help those with Chronic Disorganization and Hoarding Disorder. She learned maintenance steps to keep homes in flow and suggested to her clients to use a Getting Things Done system with an app to keep better track of tasks and calls. Virginia's advice on being mindful of when overwhelm is setting in and training contractors to tidy up has helped many keep their spaces organized and clutter free.”

"Organizing the space, how to keep the place, tidy as, between each of the people visiting and what that looks like. So in the decluttering world for just organizing your house, to me they're maintenance steps, to keeps things.Sort of inflow, rather than it becoming, this really big overwhelming, part in your project."

“if I set up a structure today for someone and then they go and change their mind cuz they're a bit wishy-washy on the strategy and they do something different once that property's sold or if they keep it or whatever they end up doing, we can end up with an adverse tax outcome, which is not ideal.”
