ABOUT US

You may know Brooke and Michelle from Season 4 of House Rules. Favourites with House Rules fans, this likeable couple from South Australia were described by Channel 7 as ‘one of the nicest teams we’ve ever seen on House Rules’. And they have the talent to match with two of their stunning renovations featured in Home Beautiful’s Top 6 Rooms of the season.

But there is a lot more to this dynamic duo than meets the eye...

WHAT WE'RE ABOUT

Married for 10 years, Brooke and Michelle are parents to two girls, Addison and Tildie. They still live in their renovated House Rules character bungalow in the eclectic Adelaide suburb of Goodwood, which also happens to be where Michelle’s Art & Design Studio, Ettie Ink, is located. Together they are a fun and social family who love being involved in community events.

HOW WE WORK

Brooke and Michelle love working on projects as a team. They complement each other, be it conducting workshops, appearing as guest speakers, transforming spaces or event coordinating, they are your friendly, reliable and approachable design duo. They are passionate about keeping up with current trends and enthusiastic about embracing new opportunities. Both have a strong commitment to supporting charities and helping the community.

WHAT WE DO

Brooke is a landscape gardener and Michelle is an artist, designer and stylist. Together, they have styled and renovated the interiors and exteriors of many homes. Brooke is the practical handyman who gets the job done, whilst Michelle possesses the creative flair and attention to detail.

More About Brooke

“Former Adelaide Crow and SANFL star, Brooke Fogden, landscaper and gardener, affectionately referred to as the BFG – “Big Friendly Giant” or “Big Friendly Gardener.”

Men’s Mental Health

Since the House Rules journey in 2016, Brooke has utilised his profile to increase awareness surrounding men’s mental health to create awareness and inspire other men to speak up and seek help when in need. Brooke has also recently completed his certificate in Mental Health First Aid and is in the process of becoming a Mental Health First Aid Trainer.

Charity Work

Being a hands on dad, Brooke is extremely passionate about helping kids. In October 2017 he trekked Kokoda with The Little Heroes Foundation to raise money for the children’s charity. In 2016 and 2017 he thoroughly enjoyed playing in the AFL Slowdown, Little Heroes’ signature event, featuring football legends and celebrities from across Australia to raise funds for seriously ill children and their families. Brooke is also a volunteer (and team leader) at Fred’s Van – an initiative run by St Vinnies to feed the homeless.

Sports & Bowls SA

Brooke is also quite the sportsman. He spent time on the Adelaide Crows AFL list before carving out a successful 165 game career in the SANFL. He is the current Bowls SA Ambassador and a proud member and Coordinator of Night Owls at Millswood Bowls Club in Adelaide. Brooke’s initiatives with Night Owls have seen the club go from almost closing its doors to thriving. At the recent Bowls SA Awards Night Brooke’s work promoting men’s mental health along with his ‘hug it out’ initiative resulted in the club winning the 2018 Innovation Award.

Brooke is also extremely passionate about sustainable living and enjoys planting veggie patches for his family and the community. Brooke hopes to build on this aspect of his business to encourage more families and workplaces to embrace a more sustainable lifestyle. It’s something he also believes will complement his work surrounding Mental Health issues.
