House of horrors cops another dose

Has been told investigators from the Santiago taskforce have examined the activities of some members of the Tiba family in recent years.

A home occupied by the family, in Guildford Ave, Coolaroo, was sprayed with bullets from a car yesterday morning.

Other attackers tried to plough a truck into a wall of the house at the same time, hours after a house 3.5km away in Sunset Blvd, Jacana, was shot at. Four people were inside when the shooter opened fire at 2am.

The Coolaroo house was firebombed on Tuesday morning and was also blasted by gunfire in February.

The Santiago taskforce was set up to investigate shootings and gang activity in Melbourne's north and west.

Family patriarch Abdul Tiba said he was not scared by the latest attack, but feared for his family and neighbours. One of his sons, Osman, was shot at Ascot Vale in 2008.

Osman was charged after a loaded pistol was found in a car in which he was travelling at Dallas last year.

Abdul Tiba said he didn't know why the home was being attacked or who was responsible.

He said if he, or any members of his family knew, they would tell police.

"This man is a coward, a mad dog," Mr Tiba said.

"I'm worried for my family and neighbours. I feel really sorry for my neighbours. What had happened in my home, I don't like that."

Mr Tiba said the attackers should show their faces. "This man can't kill me. My time is not finished," he said.

Detective Superintendent Kevin Sheridan said it was unclear why the house was a target.

But he could not rule out a link to a shoot-out between parties in two cars at Glenroy on Sunday. Police patrols were being stepped up in the area and the victims had been offered assistance to find temporary accommodation.

Det Supt Sheridan said it was lucky no one was hurt.

Success at the Dallas Home & Garden Show - Barbara Gilbert Interiors

I also had the pleasure of working alongside artist Michael Graves, owner of Michael Graves Studio and an expert in faux finishes. Examples of his work were on display and the finishes were beautiful. Michael specializes in murals, Venetian plaster and faux finishes such as brick, stone, Tuscan effects, crackle, embossed leather and metal. He’s actually been called the da Vinci of Dallas, but I was as equally impressed by his humor and welcoming demeanor as I was by his talent. I look forward to introducing my clients to his work in the future and creating many beautiful spaces.

A mural by Micheal Graves makes a stunning backdrop. All you need now is a comfortable chair and a glass of wine!

Brick is making a comeback, but with faux brick, you get the look without the price. It’s also much easier to remove than the real thing should you ever desire a different look! You can see more examples of finishes by Michael Graves at www.michaelgravesstudio.com .
