Australian Holiday Home

Melbourne-based designer Sarah Quin, her husband John, and their three kids bought this property in Merricks on the Mornington Peninsula, near Melbourne, 4 years ago. They renovated it during a year, « generally working within the existing structure » says Sarah.  A fantastic kids rumpus room and two extra bedrooms have been created, the bathrooms and kitchen updated, and the home brightened throughout with the addition of larger windows and French doors. « Our favourite ‘picture window’ in the living room was originally a small, low sliding door » says Sarah. « It now creates a beautiful frame of the garden and Westernport Bay beyond ».
