Concrete is growing in popularity for commercial and residential interiors. Today, I’m sharing the ‘what’ and ‘why’ of concrete with you thanks to two local guys in the trade.

I recently toured a character-rich Collingwood home that has just gone on the market! Do you ever get that feeling that some homes on the market lack soul? That they look a bit same-same? And nothing really stands out or leaves a memorable impression? Well, I had the opportunity to tour a Collingwood home that …

Join me as I discover Sydney’s stylish new salon, California Nails I bet I’m not the only one who gets a little grossed out by the state of some nail bars. The overbearing chemical smell… the nail clippings sprinkled like confetti on the floor… and the unnaturally bright gunk that gets scooped out of unlabelled …

I recently explored Melbourne furniture store, Weylandts, to discover their story and ethos. It’s rare to find a brand whose values resonate strongly with you. And it’s another thing to distinguish between values added as an afterthought, versus those that are integral to the very essence of the brand. In fact, it’s often the quieter …

I know I’m not the only one who chooses my dining destinations based on their interiors. So I am more than a tad excited to see the new Sydney opening of Melbourne foodie icon, Fonda.

Mid century living and throw backs from the past are so ‘hot’ right now.

I’ve curated some of my favourite pieces to create a timeless look in your …
I am a sucker for Scandinavian design. But let me make this clear: when I say Scandinavian design, I mean the true form that is full of integrity from its Danish roots, not the cheap, over-saturated, imitation Scandi pieces that are flooding the market. To us at getinmyhome, the markers of good design stand is …

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Australian author/publisher/entrepreneur/hilarious public speaker Lisa Messenger. I picked up the very first copy of her magazine, ‘Collective Magazine‘, back in March 2013, when the idea of running my own business was all but a thought hidden pretty deep (but certainly niggling away) inside. Reading the magazine …
