Nowadays, you don't need to dust off the crockery set you received as part of your wedding registry to make an impression. @freedom_australia and @hmhome all have modern, affordable choices for you to decorate your table. In saying that, the one thing I will never skimp on is glassware 🍷. A glass of Perrier-Jouet just won't taste the same from a thick-rimmed goblet. Pay attention to sizes and make sure you have practical and elegant options for your whites and reds.

SOLD | ​24 Balmoral Crescent, Surrey Hills.

A fantastic result for Fletchers Canterbury Director & Auctioneer, Tim Heavyside and his team. This 5-bedroom 🚪 Californian Bungalow was a stand-out at auction back in June. Providing a private retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the timeless home offers its new owners an attractive dining and family room with open fireplace, solar-heated pool and fully tiled vogue ensuite.

Traditionally, Spring is known as the season to sell. From de-cluttering, cleaning, making small repairs, styling the home and choosing an agent, there's much to do before listing a property for sale. One of the most important elements of getting a house ready is to style it in a way that maximises its appeal with buyers. ​Fletchers Director & Auctioneer, Tim Heavyside, estimated preparing a home well for sale lifted its value by about 5 per cent.

​This magnificent entertainer was sold via private sale last month by Robin and Bev Waterbury of Fletchers Warrandyte! Configured with a separate living room, gym/studio, guest bedroom/retreat with ensuite, and a master bedroom with walk-in robe and gleaming ensuite, we hope the new owners will be enjoying their extensive decking with lush views from the dining and stylish lounge featuring stacked-stone gas fireplace.

🌹 Roses be gone. A sales campaign can often take up to four weeks so make it easier for yourself and opt for hardy greenery like Eucalypt or natives. Changing the water regularly will definitely help them last the distance - anything to keep the cumulative costs down! ​
​If choosing fake foliage, always blend with real plants 🌺 and try and steer clear of the cheaper options, making sure you're only selecting imitation for small areas like bathrooms and bedside tables.
