On Better Homes & Gardens this week, giving your outdoor entertaining area a refresh plus the vertical garden and seven-storey waterfall highlighting green spaces for mental health.
Johanna + Pete – Amazing Homes – The Shed House
What do you do when you’ve only got a small block of land to work with, but you want to build a large shed for your business and a family home? You build the house on top of the shed, of course! By placing all the living areas on the first floor, the entire ground floor is available as multi-functional shed space, incorporating the garage, party area and even a Japanese soaking bath. Johanna and Pete are exploring this unique home, where thinking outside of the box has really paid off. It’s chock-full of clever money and space-saving ideas for the future.
Colin – Spring Pizza
A tasty pizza is built on a good base and this week, Colin’s showing you how easy it is to make your own dough…and it’s a lot easier thank you might think. But a pizza is nothing without delicious toppings, so he has some great ideas for building the perfect flavours for the warmer weather. With Colin’s tips, your homemade pizzas will soon rival anything your local Italian restaurant can deliver.
Dr Harry – Cocker Spaniel Swims Off
When you have a dog that loves to swim, and you live just three minutes from the beach, you would think it is a match made in heaven. But as Dr Harry discovers with Indy the Cocker Spaniel, this is only the case if your dog actually swims back to you! He’s teaching this water-loving dog to come back when called, or next time he goes for a swim, he might end up in New Zealand!
Adam + Charlie – Transforming Your Outdoor Entertaining Space
With the warmer weather here, it’s a great time to give your outdoor entertaining area a refresh. And that’s what Adam and Charlie are going to do for a single mother with teenage kids. Their home has a good-sized deck but is mostly just used as a thoroughfare through to the backyard. Adam and Charlie are keen to encourage this family to make the most of this neglected space, so they’re building a new pergola, bringing a few pieces of furniture back to life and creating distinct garden zones for entertaining and chilling out, in one harmonious design.
Clarissa – Tapioca Pudding & Pan-Fried Bananas (From Ep 19, 2024)
For a delicious dessert that’s like an old favourite, but has a Malaysian twist, look no further than Tapioca pudding with pan-fried bananas. You’ll often see this dish on the menu in Malaysian restaurants and, not only is it super tasty, it’s easy to make because it only has three ingredients. Give it a go, you won’t be disappointed.
Graham – Greening The Urban Lifestyle
City living has many benefits, like being in the heart of the action, but it does have its drawbacks, with limited green space being one of the biggest. Well, there’s a new apartment block that connects residents with nature through garden spaces that incorporate lagoons, plants and a multi-layered rainforest, but it’s the seven-storey waterfall and huge vertical garden that is most impressive to Graham. This residential project highlights the importance of green spaces for our mental and emotional wellbeing and points to an exciting future for apartment living.
Juliet – Side Table With Style
Side tables can be utilitarian, but a good one is like a fashion accessory, adding an element of character to a space. Whether colourful, whimsical, or ornate, they help tell the story that this space represents your taste. So, Juliet is going to show you how to build one with minimal tools, but maximum style. Using off-the-shelf parts, this is a project you can easily achieve this weekend!
Melissa – Heartland Garden With Jac Semmler
Melissa is exploring a garden that evokes beauty and wonder in all seasons. This may sound like a professional show garden but is actually a modest sized suburban corner block. The garden is so abundant, there is virtually no lawn left but that makes it a haven for pollinating insects and birds alike. Owner, Jac Semmler is a self-confessed “plant maximalist” who lives and breathes plants. Come with Melissa and explore this wild, although tamed, usage of flowers and foliage, where no empty space is safe.
7pm Friday on Seven.
