Alexa Kempton Can you tell me a little bit about yourselves and where you live?
Jules Vleugel We are a family of four, and we’re deep in the throes of young family life. Before we bought this house, we had been living on the Mornington Peninsula, but after four years of commuting to the city each day for work – Rhys as a builder, and me as the owner of a retail store – we decided to move to Fitzroy North.
AK What condition was the house in when you bought it?
Pretty dilapidated. Structurally, it was fine, and the front rooms were beautiful – but it hadn’t been shown much care
