So, like, I stumbled across this Gathering Walls thing online, and honestly? I’m kinda hooked. It seems to be this Melbourne-based interior design gig run by, from what I can tell, Lisa McInnes-Nelson. And let me tell you, this chick *gets* it.
First off, their Facebook page shows off some seriously impressive transformations. One high-rise apartment reno really caught my eye. The before and after? Whoa. Apparently, the client was crying out for more storage (aren’t we all, though?), and Gathering Walls totally nailed it with the kitchen cabinet space. Like, *maximized* it. You can tell they actually *listen* to what people want, which is a big deal in this industry, let’s be real.
And then there’s the TikTok. Yeah, I went down that rabbit hole. Lisa’s got, like, half a million likes on there! It’s all about sharing their “pretty home” and apparently not taking themselves “very seriously.” Which, I gotta say, is refreshing. I’m so over these perfectly staged, sterile homes you see everywhere. This feels… real.
But here’s the thing that *really* got me interested: their website, gatheringwalls.com.au. Specifically, the blog post on installing wall panelling. I’ve been low-key obsessed with wainscoting lately (don’t judge!), and this post is actually, like, *helpful*. It’s not just pretty pictures (although there are those too, obvi). It’s practical, down-to-earth advice. They even cover the “do’s and don’ts,” which is a godsend for someone like me who’s prone to DIY disasters.
Now, I’m no expert, and I haven’t actually used their services (yet!), but from what I can see, Gathering Walls isn’t just about making things look pretty. It’s about creating spaces that are functional, livable, and, dare I say it, a bit fun.
I dunno, maybe it’s just me, but I’m digging their vibe. Plus, they seem to have a knack for taking these older, kinda dated homes and turning them into something fresh and modern. The “early 1980s brick home” they renovated, for example? Total glow-up.
