With their combined skills and experience — Andrew, 64, is a builder while 59-year-old Vicki owns home and lifestyle store Deer Willow in Kiama — the project was guaranteed to be a success.

"I love our home," says owner Leah, "It's beautiful to move into a new place where you've put all your ideas and designs."
