Bridie Marchant
Bridie Marchant has spent the better part of a decade paying attention to how Australian homes actually get furnished: on a budget, in a hurry, and usually in a room that is 300mm narrower than the floor plan suggested. She writes Cedora's buying guides on bed frames, dining tables and storage, with a bias toward measurements over mood boards. Before writing about furniture she moved house eleven times, which she counts as the relevant qualification. She lives in Sydney's inner west with a dining table she has sanded back three times, and she still recommends it.
