Stories from Our Place to Yours: Georgia’s First Home, Her Way

For Georgia, building her first home was an exciting but nerve-wracking experience. She wanted her space to feel like her – stylish but not over the top, timeless but still fun. She chose to build with Celebration Homes, and when she walked into Home Collective for her selections consult, she admits she was a little nervous and unsure where to start.

Those nerves didn’t last long once Georgia met her Selections Consultant. “She was so good – she was phenomenal. She was so much fun and made the whole experience so personal and exciting,” Georgia says.

Having someone who understood her made all the difference. “I went in there originally so nervous and not having a clue because I didn’t want to do too much, or for my home to be really basic,” she says. “It was such a cool experience to have someone there who understood me. I felt like she was in my head with what I wanted and the feeling I wanted for my house.”

Her consultant’s encouragement gave Georgia the confidence to make decisions with certainty and embrace choices that reflected her personality. She took Georgia outside of her comfort zone – reassuring her to go for the statement pieces she loved, like the oversized mirror that became a favourite feature in her home.

With that support and encouragement behind her, Georgia began to see her personal style come to life. She wanted her home to feel warm and inviting with playful touches that reflected her personality.

One of the standout spaces is her ensuite – featuring pink feature tiles that balance fun and sophistication. “She helped me go with my gut with the pink bathroom,” Georgia says. Seeing the tiles laid on the wall during construction became a core memory from her build – a bold choice she’s so glad she made.

During her visit to Home Collective, Georgia had the chance to see, touch, and compare all the finishes that would bring her home together – from tiles and flooring to taps and cabinetry. Experiencing everything up close helped her visualise how her choices would come together and trust her instincts when it came to colour, texture, and style.

From selections to statement pieces, Georgia’s story captures what makes the Home Collective experience so special – it’s not just about choosing colours and finishes, but about having the confidence to create something that feels truly personal.

Guided by our team of experts – from Home Consultants and design professionals to finance and land specialists – Georgia felt supported every step of her home building journey. ‘The whole experience was great,” she says.

At Home Collective, it’s this combination of expertise, creativity, and personalisation that helps turn a house into a home.
