Welcome
Spring is all about new beginnings – whether it’ s by giving your home a much-needed refresh or prepping your yard ahead of outdoor entertaining season. That’ s why we’ ve packed this spring edition of the Connection with myriad ways to improve your home and garden.
Starting on page 21, health and lifestyle journalist Kim Gillan explores tried-and-true strategies to turn your sleep space into the bedroom of your dreams. While on page 25, we speak to Costco supplier Koala about their award-winning mattresses, now available in warehouses and on Costco. com. au.
Speaking of refreshing your home, we explore the hottest trend in home storage and organisation: mud rooms. See page 17 for expert advice on how to turn your entrance into a neat, tidy and stylish wet room.
Plus, our‘ For your table’ section is filled with delicious ideas for spring entertaining. The season is ripe for asparagus, and chef Leanne Kitchen offers ideas and inspiration to take this veg to the next level. See more on page 32. From page 35, regular Connection contributor Tina McLeish offers four bright ideas for cooking with sweet, beautiful beetroot.
Finally, from page 46, Brazilian-born professional chef Aline de Freitas shares some of her family’ s favourite traditional churrasco recipes and explores the power of barbecue to break boundaries and dissolve cultural differences.
