And tonight we are talking about repurpose ing materials for your00:00:29 - 00:00:35renovation and for home improvements. So to help me of that topic, I have00:00:35 - 00:00:41Anne and her husband, Shane, from salvage merchants in the studio. Now00:00:41 - 00:00:45their business specialises in renovating and making over space is using00:00:45 - 00:00:50salvaged and repurpose materials. They offer a solution beginning from design00:00:50 - 00:00:54right through to implementation and everything in between. They're00:00:54 - 00:00:59completely hands on from beginning to end, and they don't mind getting their00:00:59 - 00:01:06hands dirty to truly crypt create beautiful, sustainable spaces for their client.00:01:06 - 00:01:12Welcome to the studio. It's lovely to have you here, and I think what we might00:01:12 - 00:01:16start off where before we get stuck into the nitty gritty because we're going to00:01:16 - 00:01:20look at what sort of materials you can use when you're repurpose ing for00:01:20 - 00:01:24renovation. Home improvement. We're going toe. I'm going to pick anyone00:01:24 - 00:01:33Shane's brains for tips that you can use and also look at mistakes that people00:01:33 - 00:01:37make when they're using repurposed materials. We're going to look at all that00:01:37 - 00:01:42stuff is loads of value in this episode. But before we get started, what led you00:01:42 - 00:01:47to create a business that uses repurpose ing for renovation and home00:01:47 - 00:01:53improvement? So why salvage merchants? Joe, we didn't really have a plan,00:01:53 - 00:01:58to be honest almost two years ago, we were both feeling pretty dissatisfied00:01:58 - 00:02:05with the 9 to 5 grind, and we just had a desire Teo work together. We've got00:02:05 - 00:02:10what we consider a pretty unique combined skill set, and we work really well00:02:10 - 00:02:15as a team. And so this was something we wanted to have a go it. We weren't00:02:15 - 00:02:18exactly sure what salvage merchants would look like, and it has certainly00:02:18 - 00:02:26changed in the two short years we've been going. But at the rial heart of our00:02:26 - 00:02:31business was a passion to churn a little more gently on this earth and which we00:02:31 - 00:02:37are doing in our home life. But doing it our business life as well. I absolutely00:02:37 - 00:02:42love that, and there does seem to be a riel movement at the moment towards00:02:42 - 00:02:48more sustainable living and particularly it comes to crew creating homes with00:02:48 - 00:02:53here on the peninsula. There's definitely a move towards using more00:02:53 - 00:02:58environmentally friendly materials. Ram Jeff Walls, for example. So I love00:02:58 - 00:03:04that. That's one of the inspirations behind your business. So what kind of00:03:04 - 00:03:12materials do you repurpose anything from furniture? Anything from building00:03:12 - 00:03:18materials, doors, windows. There is so much out there to be used, and I see it00:03:18 - 00:03:22every day because we look for it and it sze everywhere and everyone's00:03:22 - 00:03:30backyard or so one of the main basis off our business is to reuse repurpose. So00:03:30 - 00:03:33find something that you've already got or something that already exists instead00:03:33 - 00:03:38of going out and buying the new all the time. So we work around sourcing00:03:38 - 00:03:43materials. That would be, as I said, furniture from antique shops, vintage00:03:43 - 00:03:48shops, anything that takes your fancy, and you, Khun with the styles, he says00:03:48 - 00:03:51you can mix all that up so we look for that and we also looked for building00:03:51 - 00:03:54materials from wrecking yards, houses getting knocked down, a ll the time we00:03:54 - 00:03:59see them beautiful houses knocked down and then something a big box built00:03:59 - 00:04:03back up there and nothing reused, and it's quite sad to see it all go to waste.00:04:03 - 00:04:07So anything from anything from furniture at the end of the smallest piece,00:04:07 - 00:04:12right up to a whole house full of full of gear that we use, that's it. Basically.00:04:12 - 00:04:19Wow. So it Khun Bay furniture. It could be building materials like tiles.00:04:19 - 00:04:22Would trials are hard won. Yeah, and it's one of the hard ones to get up. But00:04:22 - 00:04:28timber flooring, skirting boards, doors, windows A ll, that sort of thing. Yes,00:04:28 - 00:04:32yes, they're pretty much anything. Get out of the house without breaking it is00:04:32 - 00:04:38reusable. Wow, that's amazing. And I greet is really sad. You do see a lot of00:04:38 - 00:04:44beautiful mid century homes, older homes, beautiful with sometimes a00:04:44 - 00:04:50beautiful art Deco features and they just ripped down on. We put four town00:04:50 - 00:04:55houses on top of where they, which is fine, like, you know, I totally get that.00:04:55 - 00:05:01We want to develop affordable housing and invest in property and all that sort00:05:01 - 00:05:06of stuff. But it is sad if that's right down and then nothing is. It's just gone00:05:06 - 00:05:13completely. Yes, so do you have any tips for people who would like to use00:05:13 - 00:05:18repurpose and up cycled materials in their homes that they want to do a bit of d00:05:18 - 00:05:24I y Yeah, look, I think for a lot of us, we all think everything's too hard, and00:05:24 - 00:05:28so there's a lot of procrastination and nothing happened. So my advice, really,00:05:28 - 00:05:32just like our business is, Just have a go. You know, there's so much to be00:05:32 - 00:05:37learned out there. We're so fortunate with the Internet, with Pinterest YouTube00:05:37 - 00:05:44all those avenues available, asked to us tto learn and to explore different uses S00:05:44 - 00:05:49O if you've got something that you love and you cherish but sitting in a carbon00:05:49 - 00:05:53, it's not being used. Just jump on Pinterest, jump on some of those online00:05:53 - 00:05:58sites and have a look for some ideas and you'll find tutorials. You find all sorts00:05:58 - 00:06:05of things. Teo learn how how to do things. But yeah, I guess my main advice00:06:05 - 00:06:10is just have a go. Just give it a crack. What have you got to lose? And00:06:10 - 00:06:21Pinterest is a great source of inspiration. It's also Rabbit Hole. You can get E00:06:21 - 00:06:26and I can actually track my life through my boards. You know, 10 years ago it00:06:26 - 00:06:34was wedding staff and then it's like baby staff. And now it's like cleaning stuff00:06:34 - 00:06:44, eyes happening to my life. Thea Pinterest is great. Ah, lot of because I get a00:06:44 - 00:06:50lot of real life. You know, people on the show is just ordinary people that have00:06:50 - 00:06:59done their own renovations and love them like YouTube. U e. But I really love00:06:59 - 00:07:05that. Just give it a go. Give it a go. You offer a service where you create00:07:05 - 00:07:09among your other services. You offer a service where you create bespoke00:07:09 - 00:07:16pieces for your clients. What does that process involve? So, Joe, usually00:07:16 - 00:07:22what happens is a client will come to us either with an idea or potentially a00:07:22 - 00:07:29problem that they need solving and to give you an example way really00:07:29 - 00:07:34encourage our customers to reuse things they've got. And we have beautiful00:07:34 - 00:07:37customer that we've done quite a few pieces for. And she had her00:07:37 - 00:07:44grandmother's vintage mix up bench mix up and she'd seen Shane had made a00:07:44 - 00:07:50similar lamp out of an old mixer in store. We used to have a little retail store,00:07:50 - 00:07:54which we no longer Joe on DH. She came one day and she said, Look, I've00:07:54 - 00:08:00got this in the cupboard and I don't use it But I love it and it has great sentiment00:08:00 - 00:08:03And I said, What? You let us turn it into a lamp on DH? She was just thrilled00:08:03 - 00:08:09. It just is incredible to see how people feel and the connexion that they have.00:08:09 - 00:08:14Teo really simple pieces. They don't have to be expensive, but they create true00:08:14 - 00:08:18meaning. And that's really what we're about. ATT. The moment chains00:08:18 - 00:08:24building a beautiful outdoor table for some clients who were doing it a big00:08:24 - 00:08:29outdoor renovation for and they haven't existing table. But they don't love it00:08:29 - 00:08:34and said, What can we use and way happen? Tohave instructs, um, old00:08:34 - 00:08:42timber palate pieces. Once of a better word, they were packing pieces of00:08:42 - 00:08:46packing timbered. These we've little pieces of hacking timber and Shane's00:08:46 - 00:08:51laminate them all together and made this incredible table on bench seats,00:08:51 - 00:08:55which they haven't seen yet. So, George, if you're listening, just stand by00:08:55 - 00:08:59because it was really exciting. Further it, it's just it's beautiful and, you know00:08:59 - 00:09:03, these are pieces of timber picked up off the side of a road actually by another00:09:03 - 00:09:07customer of ours who saw them and couldn't let them go to waste loaded them00:09:07 - 00:09:10up in is you brought them down to us and he said, Hey, guys, could you we00:09:10 - 00:09:14use them We said, Well, not now, but we will and we have. And that's00:09:14 - 00:09:20fantastic. Well, so that they would have ended up in landfill. Correct. And00:09:20 - 00:09:27now can we just go back to the mix up? Hold on What? The mix. It became a00:09:27 - 00:09:36lamb mixture like a MENSA and then e a nick so that you make cakes. We do00:09:36 - 00:09:41that, um, insight still into elect. You know, the ones that used to be, oh,00:09:41 - 00:09:45handled. It's great looking pieces, but no one knows what they're doing00:09:45 - 00:09:51because it's all electric these days. So turned into a lamp so you could have00:09:51 - 00:09:56something at home that has great sentimental value. But there's no riel00:09:56 - 00:10:03everyday use for it. You'd like to be able to see it or use it or borrow, and you00:10:03 - 00:10:07could go. We could got come to you and just say, this is what I've got what00:10:07 - 00:10:14can what do you believe that one of the favourite lance that chains made was a00:10:14 - 00:10:19old silver tea set. So the coffee part in the Sugar Bowl and Crema and hey00:10:19 - 00:10:24stepped it all up into a beautiful, beautiful lamp. And you know that that was00:10:24 - 00:10:27something that belonged to somebody that was sitting in a cupboard not being00:10:27 - 00:10:34used. And now it's enjoyed every day. I love that. That is so very clever. Are00:10:34 - 00:10:40there any other very special bespoke pieces that you've created for a client that00:10:40 - 00:10:47really stand out for year? Look, the ultimate is a complete cottage. So we00:10:47 - 00:10:53were very fortunate, really Early in our business, Tio have been contacted by00:10:53 - 00:10:59some some people that we knew through through other connexions and they00:10:59 - 00:11:02asked us for some input into little cottage. They have down here on the00:11:02 - 00:11:08Mornington Peninsula on their property and we're looking at ways Teo utilise00:11:08 - 00:11:12that space and I don't think either of us. We're quite sure what we're going to00:11:12 - 00:11:16do. And we put together some ideas and basically they turned around and said00:11:16 - 00:11:22, Yes, Tio, what we propose, which was back in that day, a Pinterest board00:11:22 - 00:11:28and with great faith and trust in us. These incredible people literally and00:11:28 - 00:11:34figuratively handed us the keys to their property and said, Do what you like00:11:34 - 00:11:40and we delivered them. And Airbnb business full off completely bespoke00:11:40 - 00:11:44pieces. So speaking about Lance being made, they've got a beautiful little old00:11:44 - 00:11:51bell in the on sweet that's made from a light Sorry, that's made from a bell.00:11:51 - 00:11:57The vanity sink in the bathroom is an old jam, copper posh on DH. Pretty00:11:57 - 00:12:02much everything in that cottage was either secondhand or actually belonged to00:12:02 - 00:12:08the clients and had been repurposed or part from mattresses and linen, which00:12:08 - 00:12:15we really don't go second hand on fair. Everything else was created by us, so00:12:15 - 00:12:21it's a complete bespoke solution for them, and we're just so incredibly proud of00:12:21 - 00:12:26it. And so, you know, thrilled that somebody would have that trust Eunice00:12:26 - 00:12:32Teo build a business for them like that. Have I seen photos of that little Jack00:12:32 - 00:12:40cottage? So if you're listening to the live show head on over Teo, either goatee00:12:40 - 00:12:46instagram and go to either the Dream Home Movement page, the latest couple00:12:46 - 00:12:54of posts the Jack Cottage or go to is it salvage merchants. Yet on Instagram,00:12:54 - 00:13:00and I'm pretty sure that was one of your most recent posts as well was the Jack00:13:00 - 00:13:05If you go on overto ira, go to both instagram accounts and have a look and you00:13:05 - 00:13:11you will see just how gorgeous this piece of I think it's like livable artwork. To00:13:11 - 00:13:15be honest with you, I was really quite stunned. You may have noticed I went a00:13:15 - 00:13:21little bit over the top with Instagram storeys that cottage this week. It's00:13:21 - 00:13:25gorgeous and people can stay. There certainly can, eh? So what, They just00:13:25 - 00:13:31look up Jack Cottage Instagram. It's Jack Underscore Cottage and got the most00:13:31 - 00:13:36beautiful garden surrounds Just down in Somerville on DH. It's a really00:13:36 - 00:13:40beautiful place to start. Hell over. There we go. You just get your clients a00:13:40 - 00:13:51little Ah, that sounds amazing. And to be given creative licence is amazing On00:13:51 - 00:13:56the topic off Airbnb Tze and bed and breakfasts and that sort of thing the00:13:56 - 00:14:02peninsula is brimming with holiday rentals. I just stayed in a gorgeous one in00:14:02 - 00:14:07German or a couple of weeks ago, but there's just so many Airbnb. He's on the00:14:07 - 00:14:13peninsula, and I was doing a bit of research for this episode, and I noticed that00:14:13 - 00:14:19you've got a service called the Elevate BNB service, which I think would be00:14:19 - 00:14:24perfect for the peninsula. All these Airbnb he's on the peninsula. So can you00:14:24 - 00:14:30tell us about that that service? What? What does it involve? Sure, So it's a00:14:30 - 00:14:35service that we provide. And Jack Cottage was really eye opening for us and00:14:35 - 00:14:41was footing the door to the short term rental market. And we just absolutely00:14:41 - 00:14:48love it and very keen to provide experiences for people and help people that00:14:48 - 00:14:54already have event. These short term rentals really elevate their experience00:14:54 - 00:14:58because there are some horror storeys out. There s o the service that we offer00:14:58 - 00:15:05provides. It's going to have a look at the property and really looking at every00:15:05 - 00:15:09aspect of the property, from online presence, social media presence,00:15:09 - 00:15:17photography and imagery of the cottage pricing structure right through00:15:17 - 00:15:25everything to do with with house manuals, all sorts of tips and tricks that we00:15:25 - 00:15:29know. We've spent a lot of time on a lot of energy and researching thiss field.00:15:29 - 00:15:35So we go and we then compare this property with other comparable listings in00:15:35 - 00:15:40the immediate area. So if it's a two bedroom sleep, small people, we would00:15:40 - 00:15:44We would present a really comprehensive report of recommendations based on00:15:44 - 00:15:48comparable process properties where where we feel your property could sit00:15:48 - 00:15:52pricing wise. And you know what? Your occupancy should be sitting out,00:15:52 - 00:15:56what sort of returns you should be getting. And from there we provide a really00:15:56 - 00:16:00detailed list of recommendations of what we could do to really get you up to00:16:00 - 00:16:05that stage. Because, as I'm sure you're an Airbnb user, I'm sure you've looked00:16:05 - 00:16:10at lots of properties online, looked at an image, and I never stayed there. Yeah00:16:10 - 00:16:17, and imagery really is the first thing, and it's an easy thing to solve. And so00:16:17 - 00:16:22we help clients right through every step of that process through the having, as00:16:22 - 00:16:27we say, having the pantry stopped ready to go. So that's what we offer. We00:16:27 - 00:16:31provide a report. We come down, we have a look. We provide a report, and00:16:31 - 00:16:35then you can choose which recommendations you like to pursue from there.00:16:35 - 00:16:42Wow, that's like a four consultancy services. Well, that's amazing. And so00:16:42 - 00:16:47needed because the competition is fierce on the peninsula. Yes, a lot of people00:16:47 - 00:16:53like to holiday here, but there are a lot of being based to compete with. But I00:16:53 - 00:17:00still think you can make great money if you've got the right product. And yet00:17:00 - 00:17:06imagery is just so important, isn't it? Absolutely. It's gotto feel like you're00:17:06 - 00:17:11having a break from reality. You know, you're providing an experienced, you00:17:11 - 00:17:15get experience. It's not. You're not just doing in somebody's home, you know00:17:15 - 00:17:19you are or rental or whatever. It's an experience. That's what people want.00:17:19 - 00:17:22And that's what they should be demanding for the money that they're spending00:17:22 - 00:17:27something out of the ordinary, something different and unique and spoke on00:17:27 - 00:17:31DH. That's what we help our clients create. And then they choose the00:17:31 - 00:17:36recommendation, and then you go and we do and then do it all case. It's00:17:36 - 00:17:41consultancy, and then it's the actual implementation that's correct, so they can00:17:41 - 00:17:45take on board a ll the ideas and tips that we give them and do it themselves if00:17:45 - 00:17:49they work. Ideally, we like to get in there and, you know, get it looking,00:17:49 - 00:17:54looking good online style, A little bit, you know, with a reasonably low00:17:54 - 00:17:59budget actually just boost the sales, boost the accommodation and that's what00:17:59 - 00:18:03it's all about. You wantto you want your business to go online and be00:18:03 - 00:18:09successful. But if you haven't got a ll these little boxes ticked. It's really hard.00:18:09 - 00:18:13A CZ, you said with with all the other ones around. It's just so hard to get into00:18:13 - 00:18:20the market. And the competition's pretty and you're styling is on point as well.00:18:20 - 00:18:26Who's in charge of the styling? E. Try really? D'oh! And I'll put something00:18:26 - 00:18:29on or move something. Sure, she'll look at it and I go, What do you think?00:18:29 - 00:18:34And she just gives me this little look and I go, It's no good. So I just leave that00:18:34 - 00:18:38to her most of the time. You know, right from when I get up in the morning00:18:38 - 00:18:42and I'll set up the pillows on the bed and all that sort of thing and ensure00:18:42 - 00:18:46passing. Just look at it and I just still haven't got It just happened. So that's a00:18:46 - 00:18:50no on the duo are put things together. I screw things together and now things00:18:50 - 00:18:54and paint things and and she does to you. We both get into the into the tools00:18:54 - 00:19:02and all that sort of thing. But stylist Shane you and I like birds of a feather00:19:02 - 00:19:07soon because I just don't know what looks good with what? That's why I think00:19:07 - 00:19:10that's why I started this show so I could make friends. Have lots of stylists like00:19:10 - 00:19:16send them photos of my housing. Is this right with you on? And he says, I00:19:16 - 00:19:20want this make this like the last year she said to me, I want a Christmas tree00:19:20 - 00:19:24made out of fence pickets like, you know, the old style. Oh, cool. And she00:19:24 - 00:19:29said, He's the pickets and Christmas Trail. Okay, sat down and come back00:19:29 - 00:19:32and see. What do you think of this? You know, you're not too bad, but00:19:32 - 00:19:36changes and change that took it away again. Come back. What do you think?00:19:36 - 00:19:40I think that's really close. But you just need this and then it'll come together.00:19:40 - 00:19:46So I'm on the tools, but she's got putting himself down a lot. He has an00:19:46 - 00:19:50incredible creative. Yeah, that is honestly the real reason why we wanted to do00:19:50 - 00:19:55something together. He's got He may not know how to fluff a pillow or use00:19:55 - 00:20:01your room. That's so he does have a really great creative eye on. So00:20:01 - 00:20:06everything we do really is a combined effort way bounce ideas off off each00:20:06 - 00:20:11other all the time, and I just I just want to add about that elevates service, You00:20:11 - 00:20:16know, what I really want to say is at the heart of that whole service is the ethos00:20:16 - 00:20:21of our business, and it is reused. And so we don't come in and go and get rid00:20:21 - 00:20:26of every piece of furniture. That's just not who, Where about where about00:20:26 - 00:20:29what else have you got? What have you got hiding in the garage that I can use00:20:29 - 00:20:34? What can I say? You know, throw a lick of paint on to completely transform00:20:34 - 00:20:40that. So it's very much of the core of everything we do is our reuse repurpose00:20:40 - 00:20:44philosophy. I love that, and I just love how complimentary you are of each00:20:44 - 00:20:54other as well. I wish everyone could see in the studio that is like smiling. But00:20:54 - 00:20:59I do really appreciate the fact that you can transform and Airbnb or a home, for00:20:59 - 00:21:04example, and use stuff that you already have. We don't realise what treasures?00:21:04 - 00:21:08We've got it. You can buy it anymore. You just can't find all this stuff. You00:21:08 - 00:21:12can go into your stores so the name but and you could get a piece of furniture.00:21:12 - 00:21:17But if you go put that piece of furniture out on the front lawn and it rains on it,00:21:17 - 00:21:22it's gone. You know where some of the old stuff is just so good. And it's00:21:22 - 00:21:26coming back in, and we are. There is a turn. There's a really big shift, I think00:21:26 - 00:21:30. And we're right at the start of it because, you know, the planets all going Tio00:21:30 - 00:21:35, you know, and we're all going to get in and work out ways of doing it. And00:21:35 - 00:21:40it'll happen. It's all goingto have tto happen where we all have to actually think00:21:40 - 00:21:44about what we're actually doing day to day. Yeah, yeah, we do. Yeah, And it00:21:44 - 00:21:50is I feel like that shift is happening. I d'oh, it's very slow yet, and we're really00:21:50 - 00:21:56at the start of it. But for a long time, I didn't make a lot of changes and we00:21:56 - 00:22:00didn't as a family make a lot of changes because we all feel so overwhelmed by00:22:00 - 00:22:04how much we should be doing. And then we just made a decision as a family,00:22:04 - 00:22:09you know, progression over perfection, progression over perfection every day00:22:09 - 00:22:15. You know, if I'm better than I was six months ago, Better than I was child00:22:15 - 00:22:20months ago. We all still got a long way to go. But we've just got to try. Yeah,00:22:20 - 00:22:26I love that message. I did have Andrea from roving refills Frankston in the00:22:26 - 00:22:31studio a few months ago. She and she has a blood caught on wasteful Andrea.00:22:31 - 00:22:37And she has that same message that we get too caught up with trying to be00:22:37 - 00:22:42perfect when it comes to sustainability and reducing waste that then people just00:22:42 - 00:22:48do that. Then they become paralysed and do nothing but small changes. They00:22:48 - 00:22:53do actually add up, and they are quite significant. Don't worry. Andrew is not00:22:53 - 00:23:05. She's not perfect. No one. Every day we're still changing. We're still00:23:05 - 00:23:08becoming aware of what we're doing, and we still may. We can change that00:23:08 - 00:23:13now and, you know, and what a lover. And she'll go out and forget to take the00:23:13 - 00:23:16shopping bags with their and she'll come home with a plastic shopping where00:23:16 - 00:23:20get again and you know, you just come on and you know, the younger00:23:20 - 00:23:25generation of you got to save themselves a cz well, but yeah, and we do. We00:23:25 - 00:23:28keep making those mistakes, and sometimes you have to. You can't bring00:23:28 - 00:23:34them 20. Apple's a bag. That's fair enough. You just gotto practise it. I think00:23:34 - 00:23:38we're all gonna practise, and we'll get there eventually. What are some of the00:23:38 - 00:23:42mistakes that people make when they are using repurposed materials in in their00:23:42 - 00:23:46home? And how can they avoid those mistakes? I think one of the biggest00:23:46 - 00:23:51ones is people think it's going to be cheaper, which is not always going to be a00:23:51 - 00:23:58it. Generally it is. But if you're going to go out and buy a sticker timber from00:23:58 - 00:24:02Bunning's, it's quick. It's easy. It's reasonably cheap, and it really is. But it's00:24:02 - 00:24:06not about saving money for us. It's more about saving the earth at the end of00:24:06 - 00:24:11the day, so don't make that mistake. You think it's going to be cheaper because00:24:11 - 00:24:14quite often you'll go out and buy a piece and have to bring it back and modify it00:24:14 - 00:24:19and change it or sand it back or painted or whatever it is S O that's that's the00:24:19 - 00:24:26first thing it's never, never, never, always cheap. So that's one of the other00:24:26 - 00:24:31thing would be If it's out of your depth, just don't do it way. Can't do00:24:31 - 00:24:34everything. We can't do everything but have a go. If it's something that is00:24:34 - 00:24:38qualified tradesman like Electrician's or plumber and all that sort of thing,00:24:38 - 00:24:42they're the things that don't like to touch. I do a little bit of election electrical00:24:42 - 00:24:48work, but it's all well within my scope of skills and always get it checked by00:24:48 - 00:24:51an electrician's anyway. So I'll get it tested and tag in the light special with my00:24:51 - 00:24:58lamps and things like that s o that sze another thing have ago. But, you know,00:24:58 - 00:25:03make sure you're not well, you know, out of your depth on I think the third00:25:03 - 00:25:08more third thing, I think, was if you really need it done, if the biggest mistake00:25:08 - 00:25:16is if you haven't called us, that's a really I think that's a thing call and we'll get00:25:16 - 00:25:21it sorted for you. You know, the D I Y things is massive. Now it's you see it00:25:21 - 00:25:25on TV. Everywhere people are getting in, getting their hands dirty and having00:25:25 - 00:25:31go and it sze really a big achievement when you do something yourself and00:25:31 - 00:25:35there's plenty of help that out there A said YouTube. Get on there, you learn00:25:35 - 00:25:39how to do anything. I taught myself how to play the piano off YouTube, you00:25:39 - 00:25:43know, all rose sorts of things. And the other day I was out there learning how00:25:43 - 00:25:47to fix my car. There's something broke on it, and I fixed it. You know, it's I00:25:47 - 00:25:53didn't have to send it off and pay top dollar to get it fixed. So there's things00:25:53 - 00:25:58like that. So I have a go at it on DH. Enjoy what you do, Teo. That's what it00:25:58 - 00:26:02comes down to us. We really enjoy fixing things, and I'm Mr fix it. I just love00:26:02 - 00:26:05getting in there and getting something sold in solving problems for people. I00:26:05 - 00:26:11love that. So the biggest mistakes. Number one, not having an understanding00:26:11 - 00:26:15of your budget. When you when you embark on these projects, it just just cost00:26:15 - 00:26:24it up. So you understand how much it's going to cost and number two is trying00:26:24 - 00:26:27to do things that are actually out of your depth, and that's a message that we00:26:27 - 00:26:32share a lot on the show is that day. I was great, but there are certain things that00:26:32 - 00:26:37you actually need a qualified trades person. And also, I think, something that00:26:37 - 00:26:43I see when I watch shame, work, a cz his apprentice. But I would quite often00:26:43 - 00:26:47say to him, are We're just, you know, we just need to pop that door on there.00:26:47 - 00:26:50Or I think sometimes people underestimate that, particularly when you're00:26:50 - 00:26:55working with salvage materials. You're starting with something that perhaps00:26:55 - 00:26:59not the correct size to go in that area. It's it's not the correct think nurse. The00:26:59 - 00:27:04hinges air in a different spot. All those sorts of things that you think way have00:27:04 - 00:27:08a bit of a joke amongst ourselves. He always says, Yeah, I'll just put it in. It's00:27:08 - 00:27:16just four screws, darling e like No, it's not, is it? And Weigh replaced a door00:27:16 - 00:27:23for a client recently in her home, and it was a full day's work because we00:27:23 - 00:27:28bought a second hand or for her, and the whole jam had to be modified and00:27:28 - 00:27:32that's fine. That's exactly what we love doing. But I think people sometimes00:27:32 - 00:27:37under Estrada, underestimate how much time and effort is involved in using00:27:37 - 00:27:40salvage materials. Which brings us to mistake number three, which is not00:27:40 - 00:27:47calling. So before we get to our signature questions, let's just tell people how00:27:47 - 00:27:51they can fix mistake number three, which is how would they get in contact00:27:51 - 00:27:56with you so you can jump on? All our socials are at salvage merchants on00:27:56 - 00:28:00Facebook and Instagram, or you can find us on our website salvage merchants00:28:00 - 00:28:03dot com dot you. We're just based in Maadi, Alex. So we're just up the road00:28:03 - 00:28:06from the peninsula and we do a lot of work down this way, and we always00:28:06 - 00:28:11enjoy hopping on Peninsula linked to come down here for the day. So, yeah,00:28:11 - 00:28:15just give us a call. We'd love to chat when love to visit people's homes. We'd00:28:15 - 00:28:19love to see how people live and listen to their ideas and their concepts, and we00:28:19 - 00:28:24just really enjoy working. Their business attracts the most incredible people,00:28:24 - 00:28:29and we're really fortunate in that way really like minded people. So, Richard00:28:29 - 00:28:33Yeah, the results are stunning. Do make sure that you pop on over and cheque00:28:33 - 00:28:39out those socials and the website. All right, signature questions. What is your00:28:39 - 00:28:44favourite? Thiss question was made for you. Thiss question was made for you00:28:44 - 00:28:48. What is your favourite interior design or architectural style from a bygone era00:28:48 - 00:28:56? Well, I'd have to say as owners are very owners are. What's a CZ?00:28:56 - 00:29:02Custodians of 150 year old church would have to say. It's a Victorian era. We00:29:02 - 00:29:07have very fortunate to have a beautiful little church out past Bella Rat that00:29:07 - 00:29:16we're currently renovating to be an Airbnb for people and just that era off. It00:29:16 - 00:29:21was a really tough time in Australia, the gold rush, and we look at our little00:29:21 - 00:29:28church that is five metres high, the roof at the lowest points, five minutes high00:29:28 - 00:29:35, and this was all built by men from ladders with hand tools. And so just I00:29:35 - 00:29:41guess for me it's the appreciation off that the love and the dedication and the00:29:41 - 00:29:46care that went into buildings of that time and they are beautiful and detailed,00:29:46 - 00:29:51and it was done by hand. And that's just incredible to may. So with all that00:29:51 - 00:29:56preserving that it is incredible, isn't it? You know, we need to preserve those00:29:56 - 00:30:01sorts of buildings and that history we cannot lose that it's so important. What00:30:01 - 00:30:08does the phrase dream home mean to you? Oh, he's looking at May E May.00:30:08 - 00:30:13Well, certainly a dream. Hofer may. It's not for walls, and it never has been.00:30:13 - 00:30:19I've lived in beautiful homes. I've lived in plane, home, small homes and my00:30:19 - 00:30:27dream home is the people within a on the people that I cherish. And the items00:30:27 - 00:30:31within that means something to me that have value. Having said that, though,00:30:31 - 00:30:34Joe I have it. I have got a bit of a Pinterest board going because we have a00:30:34 - 00:30:39mutual prince Pinterest, love and Shay and I worked very hard on our Pinterest00:30:39 - 00:30:42board for our dream home property that, you know in the future will look00:30:42 - 00:30:48something like a rambling country estate with workshops being held and00:30:48 - 00:30:52community gatherings. And that's what our plan for our dream home is. But00:30:52 - 00:30:58you know, right now we live in a factory and it's unreal, and it contains00:30:58 - 00:31:04everyone that I love. That's my dream Home contains everyone that I love. I00:31:04 - 00:31:14can't wait to see your rambling one well again. If you want to find any in00:31:14 - 00:31:20Shane, you Khun, go to salvage merchants on Instagram and Facebook or all00:31:20 - 00:31:26the W's salvage merchants dot com dot a. You got that right.
