Matty J and Laura have revealed their most controversial reno choice yet
Reality stars Matthew Johnson and Laura Byrne have revealed their latest renovation updates, including their most controversial choice yet. The Bachelor favourites have been renovating a retro seaside property on the South Coast of New South Wales since they purchased it at auction in June 2024 for $2.19 million. The oceanfront house, known as ' Chante Mer house ' (sing the sea), has an Instagram account that charts updates with over 129,000 followers. Since choosing to share their progress, fans of the couple have been all too willing to share their opinions on the design decisions - and this latest reveal has been no different. Last month, Laura shared a post to the account with the caption, "Here is the great fireplace reveal for everyone who has been following along. The most controversial of all our reno choices and the heart of our little home." Loading Instagram Post In the video, Laura explains that she chose the controversial "spew tiles" because they wanted a "bold and beautiful" choice for the heart of their home. The Toni May jewellery designer said she couldn't "be more happy with how it's all turned out," and then urged followers to embrace fun when making design decisions. "Here's your reminder that it's ok to do something really fun with your interiors." Comments on the post were overwhelming positive with followers saying, "It's perfect", "Absolutely love it" and "Stunning". Another big reveal from the couple was the before and after of the downstairs bedroom. In the video, Matty J shares that he and Laura originally wanted a colour for the walls - alternating between yellow, green and salmon - but ultimately went for a neutral. "Thank god we came to our senses and went with a warm white," he said in the post. They choose a rattan bed frame, paired with toffee and green sheets, marble side tables, blue chair and a white floor rug. Followers were very complimentary about the view and styling of the room saying, "Love it", "Looks fabulous", and "The view is too good." Loading Instagram Post The couple also shared images of the foyer with polka dot sconce and marble console with the caption, "Making an entrance, our little foyer area full of personality." This was a far cry from the opinions shared when the couple revealed their main bathroom. Originally pink, the room was gutted and transformed to include a double shower, beige and bone subway stripe tiles and antique brass fittings. While some enthused about the updates, "MY JAW DROPPED! I love it" and "It's amazing", others were far from keen "I love you guys but I hate this. Sorry just hurts my eyes" and "Ekkk sorry but way too much going on. Seems all over the place and doesn't match". It seems followers are more on board with the more recent design decisions. But these weren't the only exciting reveals to come from the couple recently. In April, the parents-of-two shared that they were expecting a third child - another little girl to join the family.

How young Dockers midfielder is coping with the trolls
Fremantle midfielder Matthew Johnson has opened up about the online trolling he has copped since last year, saying the support he is receiving from his teammates and coaches is helping him deal with the haters. Johnson has filled a key midfield role this season, his ability to win the ball and bust through tackles proving crucial. The 22-year-old is averaging career highs in disposals (19), clearances (2.8), inside 50s (3.9) and tackles (3.2) this year. But Johnson's career return of 9.21 in front of goal, including 5.17 since the start of last season and a drop in disposal efficiency this year, have seen him become the target of online trolls. "Last year especially (it was bad)," Johnson said. "I don't think anyone likes getting shit thrown at them, but what can you do? "I've learned now that you don't pay it much attention. I try not to read it, to be honest. "I just turn my Instagram settings off, turn off the notifications for people who I don't know, so they can't get to me. "It was pretty hard at stages last year seeing stuff like that, but I just really want to keep improving and put my best foot forward." Johnson said the support he had received within the four walls at Fremantle had helped him deal with the haters. "It's not nice to read that stuff," Johnson said. "But at the end of the day, it comes from people that probably don't have a lot of idea about what's going on, and I've got a lot of support from the players inside the four walls and my coaching staff as well." Johnson entered last week's game against Port Adelaide with 1.6 to his name for the season. But the 48-gamer looked every bit a smooth mover when he nailed a 50m goal on the run during the second quarter. Johnson set up another goal moments later, with his efforts sparking Fremantle to a 49-point win. "I was conscious of the fact I've kicked a lot of points this year, but I've just been doing practice during the week and trying to get the reps in," Johnson said. Fremantle (6-5) pulled a selection shock on Thursday when they named veteran Nat Fyfe for Saturday's clash with high-flying Gold Coast (8-2) at People First Stadium. Fyfe, who is likely to be the sub, is yet to play at AFL level this year, and was widely expected to make his return from a hamstring injury via the WAFL. Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir is also backing in fit-again ruckman Sean Darcy to partner Luke Jackson in their battle with star Gold Coast big Jarrod Witts. Defender Josh Draper has been recalled to replace Dockers skipper Alex Pearce, who is battling a stress response in his left shin.
