In this week's instalment of #TheMakers, we tour ballet teacher Tonia Kelly's mid-century home in Sydney's Newport. ✨
The vast majority of those interested in pursuing a career in dance are naturally creative types, and when she retired Tonia went to colour and design school as a side interest. "I was a Bun Head with a passion for shuffling my bedroom furniture around constantly," Tanya shares of her childhood. ✨
A passion for interior design has led her to revamp @sundowner_house, her beachside abode that was built in the ‘60s. “I have spent the past 12 years re-injecting mid-century character back into the house.” ✨
In revamping this home, Tonia has paid homage to its heritage, adding elements that are an ode to the era. One of the loveliest examples of this is the stone fireplace surround which takes centre stage in the living room. ✨
