Feature Friday:At home with Chyka Keebaugh

source

It is clear that the Real Housewives of Melbourne star Chyka Keebaugh is house proud.

With a natural flair for making everything look and feel beautiful  - Chyka is one of the most sought after event stylists and planners in Australia. From the photos of her home tour I am sharing with you today you will see why. 

A manor style abode, this three bedroom, four bathroom home, plus a granny flat is impeccable. Organised, colour coordinated (you should see Chyka's wardrobe!) and effortlessly elegant, it is a home that I know you will love to see inside of.

Alongside husband Bruce, Chyka owns The Big Group, one of Australia’s largest privately owned catering and event-management companies. Hard work has clearly led to success, with them residing in the home of their dreams in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. 

Lets take a look shall we....

Often compared to Carrie Bradshaw, Chyka's favourite room is her dressing room. You can see why can't you!
 There are rows of sunglasses on show, shelves of shoes, drawers solely dedicated to necklaces, earrings or watches, everything colour coordinated. Its the thing dreams are made of!

Chyka has described her home as eclectic and layered and describes it as having a heart, soul and story.

The family have lived in the home for sixteen years, with every inch of it being renovated in that time. She is one to not be able to sit still however and always has ideas of fixing, rearranging and organising.

There are neutral base tones, but pops of fun colour and texture, which is certainly Chyka's style! I am totally in love with the cute fluffy pooch on the lounge, who is conveniently also matched to the neutral colour scheme!

Chyka opted for a galley kitchen when the renovations took place and says it works really well in their busy household. The white cabinetry and simple stainless-steel range hood gives the space a clean and modern style. “When we put in the extra-high benches, the builder told me they were too high! However, I think they’re perfect and make the kitchen look bigger than it is,” Chyka says.

The living room was part of the extension that Chyka and Bruce added on seven years ago. The most striking feature of this space is the generous bank of windows, which allow floods of sunlight to come into the room. “I also love the layering of cushions on the neutral linen couch,” says Chyka, “and the love seat is where you will find me with a dog on either side reading a new magazine.”

Chyka's home is all in the detail, with obvious contrasts of old and new.
 It is a home with personality, but class.
 A subtle elegance.
