Barry Du Bois 'EVERY DAY WITH MY SON IS A BLESSING

Barry Du Bois often has the sagest of advice. Not only has he provided renovating tips to Aussies in his 11-year stint on The Living Room, but he's also a New Idea columnist and a dad of two kids who often turn to him for answers.

"Like many people, terrible thoughts were running through my head," Barry tells New Idea.
