WELCOME TO SEASON 4 | EPISODE 37
Kirsty Ristevski’s epic transformation
OF A COMMERCIAL SPACE INTO HER FAMILY HOME
SOME PEOPLE HAVE A GIFT FOR SEEING THE POTENTIAL
Today we chat with Kirsty Ristevski – interior designer, creative director of Furnishd and developer.
Kirsty’s most recent project is one of those unique, interesting homes that you don’t come across all time. We explore how she turned a commercial property into a fun family home.
IN THIS PODCAST WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
Initially, Kirsty and her husband planned to turn the property into a boutique hotel. However, it was conveniently located across the road from their boy’s school and, despite being a dog’s breakfast, it was interesting.
Kirsty Ristevski certainly has the ability to see what other people may not see in properties. We learn about how she and her husband secured the property via a letter drop, the backstory behind the living room’s massive marble mosaic wall, and the bar that is actually a kitchen!
This conversation is a great reminder of what can come from openness and being willing to experiment. Kirsty shares how liberating it was to take on a project just for themselves and the joy that comes from doing something for fun, without getting too precious about it all.
Kirsty also shares what her business, Furnishd, does as well as a special offer for our BuildHer listeners! Furnishd is a fixed-price digital furnishing service, with two levels of services from a basic floor and furnishing plan, right through to the whole works including selection, purchase, and delivery.
We hope you enjoy this one – some great inspiration to be open to all the opportunities and never afraid of a letter drop. Will we also start to see more bars as kitchens?! We hope so.
