Who, what, and why of Love of Home
Love of Home is owned by Jodie Bowker. Jodie is an interior decorator and window furnishings specialist with nearly 30 years experience, Jodie has also been a three-time exhibitor at National Trust Home Shows and decorator of some beautiful period homes in Melbourne.
An absolute passion is older Australian houses and restoring these beautiful old homes to new days of glory. Going beyond the interior design aspects and really looking into the history of the home is important in the restoration process.
Jodie has loved dressing up houses, making things, and creating things for as long as she can remember. Jodie's favourite past-times are talking about, reading about, and dreaming about ... interiors, exteriors, gardens, decorating, anything at all that makes a house a home! Love of Home is about bringing all of that together and connecting the professionals with the home-lovers and dreamers.
Love of Home is all about creating a space you can love and be very much at home ... your space, your home.
