Kasturi Wren on Creating a Home That Centres You and Your Life

If you were to start your home and life all over again, what would you create? This is the journey that this week’s guest has had to discover for herself. Meet Kasturi Wren, a lawyer turned creative who moved away from the city to a small country town to start not only a new chapter, but a new life.

Come listen to our conversation where Kas shares how she has created a home on a tight budget, and embraced colour to great effect, as well as what she has learned along the way.
