Sara went on to say that if she wasn't pushed each week on the show, she would not have realised her ability in creating beautiful homes.
'And now I'm putting that knowledge, along with everything I have learnt at Sydney Design School into practice, starting off with our forever home,' she penned.

Sara thanked everyone who assisted her on her design 'journey' and encouraged fans to reach out to her for design advice.
'If your home needs a refresher, a new lease on life or just some styling ideas, please just direct message your questions and I'll be happy to assist,' she said.

The couple, who are parents to daughter Harlow, three, and son Lawson, eight months, are busy renovating their 'forever home' in Stanwell Park, New South Wales.     
Sara and Hayden purchased the property for $822,000 in 2014, but it's now estimated to be worth $1.4million, and even more when the renovation is complete. 
The home contains four bedrooms, a separate studio above the garage, and a roof level with ocean views.

'Our en-suite in the master bedroom is going to have its own balcony with the view from the bathtub being the beach,' Sara told Daily Mail Australia in August last year.
The garden is what Sara is most excited for, with the star adding: 'We'll be installing a pool and have the garden area in tiers due to the shape of the block.
'There'll also be an outdoor shower, six-metre high hedges for privacy and a fire pit.

I can't wait to throw parties out there.'
