READ NOWMatt said it was nice to go back and help the Morley area, where his family still lived in.
“My Embleton house – I must have spent my entire life there and it really hits home for me,” he said.
“Living in Mt Hawthorn feels quite strange because I am an Embleton-Morley boy.
“The most recent one (renovation) that we did was in Mt Hawthorn, which is a two-storey extension, completed about a year ago.”
Matt said he developed a checklist for people to put in place before buying a property.
“Basically it is an opportunity to share our design and going through the beginning of our journey of how we bought into property, what we chose to do with each property, the decisions we made and the renovations that we put in place based on our skill set,” he said.
“(I have) different design tips on how to do cosmetic renovations and help people to get a bit more of a clear picture of which house to buy and what they are going to do when they do buy it.”
His tips include putting emphasis in light areas and outdoor spaces, understand how a buyer would view the house before doing renovations, assessing skill sets and forming a budget.
The couple are looking to do more events and are in the early stages of working on a potential new show.
