MY HOME

Interior Designer Gina Ciancio shares the journey of her home build on Style Curator. From the planning stage to building, and now the never-ending job of styling and personalising her home, she shares it all.

See the journey from run-down ex-guvvie house to their new architectural home. Designed by architect Rob Henry, the build of Gina’s contemporary Australian house is now complete. Learn from Gina’s building lessons, like her bathroom mistakes to avoid.

And now she shares updates of how she’s continually redecorating rooms or finishing off projects on the to do list.
