As the owners of boutique agency @wheresbrentbeen, Brent Wallace and Dan Ingram are practically professional globetrotters. However, it's this 1910 Federation cottage in the charming town of Picton where their hearts really lie.⁠
⁠
Taken with the property's bullnose verandah, iron lace trim, pot-belly stove and timber-lined rooms, the couple could hardly deny themselves its purchase. "We do feel connected here," Brent says. "We're lucky, because we get to travel. But we'll 
always be country now."⁠

For Holly Gilbert and her husband David, their Wamberal garden is a haven; a place they can relax and recharge.

“The trees are a real feature, standing up straight and tall with the gravel an attractive ‘carpet’ for them.”

Beaten tin and weatherboard, wooden sash windows and timeworn floors; this Post Office turned accommodation in NSW's Snowy Mountains has the air of perfectly preserved piece of heritage architecture - but it's a little more complicated than that.⁠
⁠
Resoration-obsessed Sonja and her chef partner Warren were the saviours of what was once an all but blown-away and burned structure - once the Pender Lea post office. "Our whole ethos, from the ground up, is to save beautifully made things, rather than discard them," Sonja says of her love of salvaged objects and recycled materials. "The Post Office is testimony to that."⁠

This small fibro ‘knockdown’ in Queensland’s Keppel Sands was rescued, raised and lovingly restored by a resourceful couple.

“I just love it here,” says homeowner Emma. “I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to do this house - although I’m glad we went into it not knowing what was ahead and the amount of work involved. One day, I’d like to save another old house.”

It was master ensuite week on The Block this week and once again the contestants delivered a mixed bag of results, with some still struggling to grasp the concept of 'contemporary country'.⁠
⁠
In the end, it was Omar and Oz's small but beautiful room that took the cake, the judges loving their clever use of space and authentically country touches.⁠
⁠
Did you agree with the judges' decision? Which bathroom was your favourite?⁠

Despite being one of five apartments in a 1950s "a large, red brick box", this delightful Hobart apartment could not feel more bespoke.⁠
⁠
"It was original – nothing had been touched. It was a complete mess inside, so it was a really exciting project to do," says owner Julie, who completed the project with her son, Jackson, and husband, Craig. "It was really hard work – there were quite a few 'Oh, my gosh!' moments," Julie says, laughing.⁠

"People ask us what we do, and I will often say we save marriages. Blokes get themselves into trouble and have to buy our peonies to make up for it!" jokes Richard, who owns and runs this 7-hectare peony farm (Weston Farm) alongside his wife Belinda in Brighton, Tasmania.⁠
⁠
Making the move to the then bare canvas of a property when they were just 24, the pair have poured years of love and hard work into achieving its now thriving status. "It's that connection with the earth and it gives you a lot of happiness."⁠
