Guest bio
Jodie Bowker owns Love of Home. She lives in south-west Victoria, having relocated from the stunning Dandenong Ranges last year … this is her country adventure! She is currently living in and renovating a 1904 Federation home.

Jodie is an interior decorator and window furnishings specialist with more than 30 years experience, Jodie has also been a three-time exhibitor at National Trust Home Shows and decorator of some beautiful period homes in Melbourne.

Jodie has loved dressing up houses, making things, and creating things for as long as she can remember. One of Jodie's favourite past-times is talking about, reading, about, dreaming about ... interiors, exteriors, gardens, decorating, anything at all that makes a house a home!

Jodie has renovated three homes from “dump” status to beautiful homes to live in. There is a huge difference between renovating to sell and renovating to live in and Jodie has renovated to live in each time using her renowned talent for bargain shopping, DIY skills, and decorator’s experience to create homes that look beautiful but are affordable and within a budget.

Since 2014 Jodie has also run a successful online business support and management service and provides administrative support and online business management to business owners in the creative space - she understands the industry and can offer so much more to her clients than "simple admin" and with a team of superstar VAs behind her there's a guarantee of support in pretty much any task that a creative professional needs to make their business succeed!

Love of Home brings all of that together and connects the professionals with the home-lovers and dreamers – through podcast (launching in 2020), monthly shopping guides including interesting articles and “behind the maker/service”, and an online service directory. Jodie also provides advice and a sourcing service for others wanting to renovate their homes to live in on a budget.

Love of Home is all about creating a space you can love and be very much at home ... your space, your home.
