Suzi Trajkovska is one of those women who loves organising. Cupboards, home offices, pantries and closets: the messier the better. She has systems for her systems and has had an eye for creating beautiful rooms ever since she was little.Suzi works as a family daycarer from her home suburb of Googong, but recently started taking Fridays off to spend time completely making over the rooms of homes in surrounding suburbs. It all started when Suzi made over her own pantry, and a girlfriend demanded she come and do the same for hers.<img alt="pantry" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1000" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/pantry.width-800.jpg" width="800">“It was not an intentional start to a business,” Suzi laughs.“But more and more people heard about what I could do and started contacting me.”Today, her interior decorating business <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554290319869" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Edited Living Co</a> is thriving — she gets most new clients by word of mouth — and Suzi’s Fridays are booked solid doing what she loves: researching interior trends, finding furniture for clients (recycled where possible) and shopping at Kmart.Her most recent project included surprising her niece, Gabriella, with a brand new look for her home business, Beauty by Gabriella.<img alt="before beauty room" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1000" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/before_beauty_room.width-800.jpg" width="800">“Gabriella has had a pretty tough couple of years, including losing her mum,” Suzi says.“I wanted to do something really special for her.“We agreed to meet the Saturday after Anzac Day to talk about her desires for the room but I actually snuck in while she was away on the Anzac Day long weekend and did the makeover for her.”Here’s the approach Suzi took.<h3 data-block-key="489k2">Start with three words you want the space to feel.</h3><img alt="makeover prints" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1000" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/makeover_prints.width-800.jpg" width="800">“For Gabriella’s therapy room I chose modern, luxurious and relaxing. Modern is about a neutral colour palette and relaxing is about minimalism, having spots for things and reducing clutter.”<h3 data-block-key="bfee1">Invest in an excellent bed.</h3><img alt="makeover bed" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1000" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/makeover_bed.width-800.jpg" width="800">“In a home beauty business, your clients spend most of the time laying down. The most important thing you can invest in is a comfortable place for them to do this.“Spend most of your budget on this, and you can decorate around it on a budget.”<h3 data-block-key="110v0">Curtains make the room.</h3><img alt="image000001 (1)" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1600" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/image000001_1.width-800.jpg" width="746">“Window dressings can make or break a room so we stripped back Gabriella’s old curtains and put in a sheer curtain from Freedom. The room was instantly transformed.”<h3 data-block-key="etamv">Repurpose what you have.</h3><img alt="makeover details" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1000" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/makeover_details.width-800.jpg" width="800">“A lot of what you see, Gabriella already had in the room. It just needed a new set of eyes and some accessories to bring it to life.“The baskets, marble-look trays are from Kmart and the big banana leaf plant in the corner is from Spotlight. All sourced locally in Queanbeyan and on a budget.”

Unleash your inner entertainer in 'never been lived in' ex-display home

“It’s stupidly expensive in Canberra — I might have to buy in Queanbeyan!”For years I’ve heard this quip around the office and among my friends in the market for a new home, and it’s always baffled me.Where did the perception that Queanbeyan is where you go to buy if you can’t afford to live in Canberra come from? Queanbeyan has always been pitched as Canberra’s older, poorer cousin but I’ve reviewed the data and it’s much cheaper to buy in several Canberra suburbs than it is to buy in little old Queanbeyan.<img alt="2-yuruga-close-karabar-nsw-2620-87700-image-0-20231004054636525281-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/2-yuruga-close-karabar-nsw-2620-87700-image-0-.width-800.jpg" width="800">The median house price in Queanbeyan in 2023 is $765,000 – so if you’re looking to live somewhere less expensive try Charnwood ($641,000), Holt ($740,000) or Banks (also $740,000). Even Ngunnawal is more affordable.So while they’re not strictly the cheapest properties on the market, homes in Queanbeyan do sit at the lower end of the median house price scale.<img alt="9-hirst-avenue-queanbeyan-nsw-2620-91218-image-0-20231123023135217593-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/9-hirst-avenue-queanbeyan-nsw-2620-91218-image.width-800.jpg" width="800">Add a “rural NSW town vibe” to the mix, and it’s a combination more and more Canberrans are seeking, according to Ian McNamee &amp; Partners sales agent Lucy MacGregor.“I would say a high percentage of our purchasers are from the ACT – we see a lot of first home buyers finding value for money in Queanbeyan,” Lucy says.“We typically have larger block sizes over here, and charming designs that are harder to find – and therefore harder to buy — in Canberra.<img alt="153-carwoola-street-queanbeyan-nsw-2620-87858-image-0-20231129040205093982-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/153-carwoola-street-queanbeyan-nsw-2620-87858-.width-800.jpg" width="800">“As prices rise in the ACT, people are realising just how conveniently positioned Queanbeyan is. It’s literally 15 minutes to Civic, Tuggeranong and Woden.”Ray White Queanbeyan sales agent Brad O’Mara remembers a time when it actually was a lot cheaper to buy in Queanbeyan than Canberra, but that gap has closed.<img alt="23-hakea-street-karabar-nsw-2620-89624-image-0-20231101223135222320-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/23-hakea-street-karabar-nsw-2620-89624-image-0.width-800.jpg" width="800">“We do see Canberra buyers coming out to our properties from as far as Belconnen, Weston and Tuggeranong,” Brad says.“It really depends on what each client wants. What are they looking for? What lifestyle do they want? What services do they need, if any? What budget do they have? Can that be found in the Queanbeyan region for cheaper?“In most cases, the answer is yes.“Myths are usually based on a generalised market median, and the reports show that the Queanbeyan region is more affordable.“Combine that with the great services we have here, and you’ve got an excellent value proposition.&quot;<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/search/?listing_type=buy&amp;address_suburb=Queanbeyan,%202620,%20NSW&amp;surrounding=true&amp;order_by=-created&amp;property_status_groups=current,underOffer,includePrivate&amp;page=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View our Queanbeyan region listings.</a>

Why do people still think it’s cheaper to buy in Queanbeyan?
