After decades spent renovating for profit, Cherie Barber is doing things a little differently.
In Part 2 of her conversation with Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock, Cherie takes us inside The Farmhouse, her sprawling Western Sydney project blending modern farmhouse style with her love of mid-century design. She explains why even a deeply personal home still needs to make financial sense, and how she decides where to follow her heart and where to think about resale.
Plus, Cherie reveals why she starts her days at 3:30am, how she solves renovation problems in her sleep and the incredible story of how she came tantalisingly close to owning Elvis Presley’s Palm Springs honeymoon home.
This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation with Cherie Barber.
“Your home truly doesn’t need to be glamorous. It doesn’t need to be designer. It can be the most simple house but bring your family joy – that, for me, is home.”
Cherie Barber
“Renovating for profit is based on return on investment – the numbers. Renovating your own home is based on emotion.”
Cherie Barber
