Wendy Moore, Editor of Home Beautiful Magazine
Having amassed twenty years experience with the likes of Australian Women's Weekly, Burke's Backyard Magazine and now heading up Home Beautiful, Wendy Moore can truly be hailed as one of Australia's foremost experts on beautiful things in everything from personal style to home interiors.
During this time, she's developed a firm belief that creating a warm, inviting home should be a holistic approach that's based not only on the building itself, but on personal flair, individual budget and practical lifestyle considerations.
Now Wendy is not only passionate about providing her readers with an endless source of inspiration, but also ensuring they have the practical tools needed to create a home they love to live in.
She's looking forward to seeing some inspiring bathroom entries that prove that individual style can be achieved on any budget.
Noeline Lee, Manager of Bathroom Warehouse's Newstead Showroom
As well as being the manager of Bathroom Warehouse's Newstead showroom, Noeline has owned and operated her own business designing commercial and residential interiors for over 20 years.
She also spent three years with Amber Tiles as a specialist design consultant on their residential as well as commercial projects.
Her skills are so valued within the industry that when it was time to redesign their showrooms at Newstead and Stafford, the Bathroom Warehouse team could think of no one better than Noeline for the job. And the results were impressive.
With a special interest in interior design, Noeline is looking forward to seeing how contestants add this little bit extra to their bathroom design to really make their entry sparkle.
Sam Davidson, Marketing Manager of Methven
A marketing professional in the hardware and bathroom industries for over 10 years, Sam's passion for renovating doesn't end at 5pm on a Friday afternoon.
Sam finds a fantastic amount of satisfaction in transforming spaces and turning his visions into reality.
Having completed three major house renovation projects, including the complete remodelling of four bathrooms, he's a firm believer that when renovating a home, if designed and executed well, the bathroom can add significant capital value to a house.
From experience, Sam knows that this relies on choosing the right blend of products to achieve the design vision and it's something he'll be looking to shine through in contestant's entries.
Weeden Jorgensen, General Manager of Bathroom Warehouse
With 20 years experience in the renovating and design industry, and being an integral part of Bathroom Warehouse since its conception over ten years ago, Weeden has seen his fair share of bathrooms.
He’s also seen how far the DIY renovation industry has come over that time and is confident he’ll be seeing some world-class entries in this year’s competition.
As part of his role heading up the Bathroom Warehouse team, Weeden regularly attends world trade fairs and visits international suppliers to keep up date with the latest trends and newest ideas in design.
He is now using this knowledge and experience to take on a new challenge to create vanities and toilet suites with better designs and better value, catering specifically for the Australian market.
