23.01.2022 The weather sure is getting warmer! As Summer starts to hit, have a think about which plants will be able to endure the hot weather. These are some of our favourite hardy garden plants that stay strong all Summer, but if you’re looking for some others, here are some qualities we recommend keeping an eye-out for:... - Consider local endemic or Indigenous plants - they are used to the hot Australian weather and will thrive through the seasons. - Think about which plants will attract birds and wildlife. Plants that leaf all-year-round will attract birds and other wildlife, creating a lively ecosystem in your backyard. - Look for low maintenance and drought-tollerant plants. They will usually survive the warmer weather as they are used to being in dry ground. A lot of these types of plants are not only easy to look after, but will still bring plenty of life and colour to your yard. Need some more plant tips?

21.01.2022 How good is a hint of timber in the bathroom? We just completed these timber cabinets for a client's ensuite. We used reclaimed Tasmanian oak, which was polished-up nicely and compliments the other textures in the bathroom....

20.01.2022 Have you heard of the CERES Park in Brunswick? It's a stunning sustainability and environmental education farm and not-for-profit hub open for public enjoyment. We love taking the kids down there and learning more ways that we can be sustainable in our own homes. They have a nursery, cafe and children's play area for the whole family's enjoyment. One of our favourite parts about this place is the Makers & Flea Market on Saturdays. You can find so many awesome hanndmade goods ...made by locals, and hey, maybe one day you'll see us there too... : @ceresbrunswick #ascotvale #mooneeponds #flemington #sustainableliving #supportyourlocal #supportlocalbusiness #homeliving #melbourne #pandemicrecovery #handmade #ethicallysourced #recycledmaterials #melbournedesign #localstreets #ceresbrunswick #melbournecommunity #localprojects #localcommunity #melbournesuburbs #makersmarketsmelbourne #handmadegoods #sustainabilityeducation #begreen #environmentaleducation #melbournesustainability #supportlocalartists #dogood #greenermelbourne #zerowastemelbourne #melbournemakersmarkets
19.01.2022 It's nearly time to ring in the new year, and we're already thinking about how we want to work in 2021... Whilst a lot of people worked from home this year, many will return to the same grey office cubicles once the new year hits. But how do you actually want to work? How can you spice up your work environment? I see 2021 as the year we bring back natural materials in our office spaces. It's the perfect way to bring light to our working environment and to connect with the wor...ld outside with the natural timbers and textures. We are working on a number of home offices at the moment. Here is one we've made that's a height-adjustable standing desk - the top is made from Australian hardwood, and the black base is from Melbourne based @theomnideskau. There's a perfect office situation for you - why not ask us to help sketch-up your dream office situation? #ascotvale #mooneeponds #flemington #sustainableliving #supportyourlocal #indoorliving #homeliving #melbourne #sustainablefurniture #ethicallysourced #recycledmaterials #melbournedesign #homedecor #recycledtimber #homeoffice #madetoorder #indoorenvironment #melbournejoinery #familyhome #timberproductsmelbourne #bespokedesign #hardwooddesk #designedforyourhome #timberliving #newoffice #naturaltimber #desklife #workinprogress #joinerymelbourne #standingdesk

17.01.2022 Has lockdown got you thinking about your dream deck? With more time at home, many are thinking about making their outdoor area more liveable and inviting. Creating a timber deck is one of the best ways to do this. Some factors to consider when choosing a timber species for your deck are:... Appearance: what timber "look" do you like? Location: is your deck in a sun-drenched location? How big will it be? Maintenance: what will the ongoing maintenance look like? Budget and availability: what types of timber is available and is it within your price range? We have written a thorough guide explaining decking materials and how to choose them on our website in the 'Resources' tab. Check it out via the link in our bio. www.valeliving.com.au/resources
15.01.2022 What kind of effect can a dark room have? Many people have concerns when it comes to dark feature walls - will they make my room seem dark or small? Will dark walls effect the resale value of my home? Darker walls can actually give a space a feeling of warmth and cosiness, and can be the perfect backdrop for signature furniture textures or pieces.... Shadows can be your friend - especially in a small space. Painting your room a darker colour can camouflage its small size. A deep blue/green like this creates the perception of depth. Think about the personality you want to add to your living space. COVID is not the time for blank and boring walls... you want to bring life, colour and comfort into your home - a coloured walls can be one of the easiest ways to do this! What do you think about dark feature walls? Pictured: one of our recent dark feature projects with built-in timber table. #ascotvale #mooneeponds #flemington #sustainableliving #supportyourlocal #supportlocalbusiness #homeliving #melbourne #australianhardwood #handmade #ethicallysourced #recycledmaterials #melbournedesign #localstreets #melbournejoinery #joinerymelbourne #localprojects #localcommunity #sustainability #bespokedesign #conservation #workinprogress #indoorliving #sustainablehomesaustralia #zerowastecommunitymelbourne #granddesignsaustralia #interiordesignmelbourne #interiorinspiration #darkfeaturewalls #timberhomesaustralia

10.01.2022 How to care for your cutting boards. We don’t think about them too often but our cutting boards need some extra love sometimes. Boards like our Accoya Cutting Boards have been built to endure, but by maintaining them you can prolong their life. ... Some tips to keep your cutting boards healthy: Give them a good scrub with hot soapy water after use, but never soak them. Apply a coat of ominary coconut oil monthly. Coconut oil is natural and food-safe! Need some more timber care tips?

09.01.2022 When a client approached us to help build a sustainable, recycled ecosystem in their backyard - how could we say no?! Jo was looking to create a peaceful and zero waste home environment for her and her young family. "Our idea to use recycled products in our garden and around our home is primarily based off protecting our valuable resources and creating as little waste as possible. For us it's really important to live as sustainably as possible!" I helped Jo build this outdoor... area by upcycling materials we had obtained, and it is now a fully-matured vegetable garden, chicken play area, green haven that the kids love to play in. If you're looking to bring some more sustainable practices into your outdoor living area, I'd love to help you draft up and build the yard of your dreams! #geelong #ascotvale #mooneeponds #flemington #sustainableliving #supportyourlocal #supportlocalbusiness #homeliving #melbourne #zerowaste #handmade #ethicallysourced #recycledmaterials #melbournedesign #localstreets #vegetablegrowers #plantcommunity #localprojects #localcommunity #sustainability #localwildlife #conservation
07.01.2022 Here's a work in progress we thought we'd give you a sneak peak on... Stage 1 of this decking and pergola area is complete - we've use Modwood-engineered decking boards, which is made from recycled milk cartons, making it a better choice for the environment than other materials. This timber also comes with a 20-year guarantee which is pretty remarkable. The aluminium frame is completely recyclable and is durable for years to come in all seasons of weather.... The pergola was constructed from Cypress timber, which gives it that beautiful grain and colour. The next stage of this project will be to complete the paving, create a custom bench seat with storate, construct a bar with an outdoor fridge and finalise the pergola structure. Keep your eyes peeled for the finished product! #ascotvale #mooneeponds #flemington #sustainableliving #supportyourlocal #outdoorliving #homeliving #melbourne #upcyclingtimber #sustainableliving #ethicallysourced #recycledmaterials #melbournedesign #gardendesignsaustralia #recycledtimber #homegarden #madetoorder #outdoorenvironment #melbournejoinery #familyhome #timberproductsmelbourne #bespokedesign #modwoodengineered #designedforyourhome #timberliving #australianliving #naturaltimber #australianlife #workinprogress #joinerymelbourne
06.01.2022 One year later and we're back to visit Wendy and her puppy Munji to catchup and see how things in her shade garden are evolving - just before we can’t visit any friends again We built this pergola structure to create a micro climate for Wendy to grow a collection of exotic shade-loving plants. She can also enjoy them on her bench seat nestled in the garden. The plants are thriving in this environment! ...
