Better Homes & Gardens: July 27

Better Homes & Gardens is on at a special time this week due to the Commonwealth Games underway from Friday.

Johanna + Pete – Amazing Homes – The Lee House
What appears to be a simple restoration of an original building, turns out to be a completely new build as Johanna and Pete discover during their walk through of The Lee House in Watsons Bay. The architect has taken the signature traditional fisherman’s cottage of the area and reworked the design for modern living. A beautiful melding of concrete, maple and glass that seamlessly connects this modern renovation to the heritage origins of the home. Journeying through the home, framed views to the surrounding landscape provide delightful surprises and a connection to the area.

Adam – Easy Peasy Coffee Table
This would have to be the easiest build ever done on Better Homes and Gardens. Tonight, Adam builds a stylish coffee/occasional table in the scandi-style with tapered and splayed legs. All the materials you need to build this project are available off the shelf from the hardware store, but there are only four, and even if you’ve never touched a hammer before, we think you could still easily make this super stylish coffee table.

Karen – Ragu Alla Bolognese
Bolognese is one of the most well-known and well-loved dishes in the whole world, but not all Bolognese sauces are equal! This week, Karen is sharing her deluxe version, which takes the classic dish to a whole new level. Rich and full of favour, you will really taste the difference.

Fast Ed – Roasted Brussell Sprouts And Cottage Cheese Potstickers
We are in the thick of winter right now, which means it’s harder than ever to get the kids to eat their greens. That’s where Fast Ed comes in. He’s turning Brussel sprouts into a kid-friendly favourite, dumplings, which the whole family will love.

Fast Ed – A Cake To Bake On A Rainy Day
When the weather is chilly, rainy or gloomy, nothing says comfort like a chocolatey-warm cake. Fast Ed’s sharing a simple chocolate and hazelnut version that relies on pantry staples. It’s the perfect way to make the most of staying in.

Graham – Small Family Garden
It has long been said that gardens can heal the soul and replenish our spirits. Tonight, Graham visits a family who have a passion for growing their own produce and connecting with nature, as well as having fun in the garden. With great planting combinations, a chill out zone, a play zone, a pizza oven and plenty of small space big ideas – the garden ticks all the boxes and provides for the needs of the growing family. This one is sure to inspire!

Charlie – Park In Style
Just because the front of your house is a practical place where you might park your car or in this case, motorbikes, doesn’t mean it can’t have some joie de vivre. Tonight, Charlie will freshen the parking spot for a couple of avid travelling motorcyclists who need a practical place to park their bikes when they’re at home. And while he’s at it, he’ll give the front of their house an achievable do-over too!

Juliet – A Kitchen With Colour & Character
For new homeowners with a young family, a complete kitchen rip-out and reno might be top of the list of wants but isn`t within a recently depleted budget. Well, Juliet will show you how to add cosmetic style and charm to the kitchen and make it feel like yours. With a fresh lick of paint, clever DIY touches and some antique style pieces, this kitchen will soon ooze character and contrast.

Dr Harry – Happily Heifer After

With a deep love and commitment for all animals, this sanctuary which aims to help mistreated, neglected and abandoned farm animals and find them a forever home.
