I first came across Barangaroo a couple of years ago, on one of my many trips to Sydney for a business course I studied. I decided to get up early one morning and go on a run. My destination? As close as I could get to the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge and back in an …

Why am I still surprised by how difficult it is to find time for household chores? I’m not the only one this happens to, right? I’d much rather spend my spare time exploring local cafes and stores or with my family, so these tedious tasks are often left unattended. Recently, with work seeming to be busier that ever, I’m starting …

Isn’t it funny when you have been subconsciously admiring something without realising what it really was? This happened to me recently when I thought the homes I loved were built from gorgeous weatherboards and it came to my attention that it was a different type of material altogether! Spending my teenage years in Ballarat, I …

I’m the first to admit I wasn’t a normal 22 year old. When I moved back to Ballarat to finish my Masters in Communications, most of my friends were still in Melbourne enjoying the partying lifestyle. I was living back at home and poring my time into my thesis and my new found hobby, getinmyhome. …

Byron Bay is right up there on my ‘must visit’ list. So you can only imagine when I saw the incredible renovation of Rae’s on Wategos. Managing Director, Jordy Catalano, said the resort hadn’t been renovated since its original owners, so it was time to take the resort ‘to the next level’. As Byron Bay continues …
Prahran has no shortage of amazing spaces, but this wellness centre sets the bar very high. The Sum of Us incorporates yoga, Pilates, treatments – such as physiotherapy and podiatry – AND a cafe (which is a combination of all of my favourite things!), and is all about health in mind, body and life. Behind …

We bring extra luxury and indulgence to our homes over this period as we add warmth and comfort. Take a read of the five biggest trends …
So I must admit, there is always dust to be found at my place. Whether it has quietly gathered on the windowsills or snuck its way onto the tops of wardrobes, dust is something I just can’t keep up with, and my vacuum cleaner ain’t helping cos it just can’t get to those tucked away …
There is no denying that I am a big fan of the strong, masculine, and very sensual aesthetic that is Zuster. I covered the Australian furniture brand’s Embellish range back in April. So, fast forward to June, seeing these pieces ‘in real life’ was quite the treat, and made possible thanks to the incredible design show that …
Earlier this week, I sat with wine in hand and piles of glossy interiors magazines in front of me as I was treated to the brains and charm of interior designer Petrina Turner as she led the ‘2017’s Design Trends’ workshop by the International School of Colour and Design here in Melbourne. What fun! The workshop was a …

When a collection draws inspiration from summer holidays and the joy of entertaining, you know it’s going to be bright, fun and oh so relaxed. That’s just what Georgia Macmillan’s Collection III is. The Dubai-based Australian creative of her self-named brand first explored her artistic flair through watercolour painting. Then, in 2015, Georgia experimented by digitally …
Back in the day, we wouldn’t dream of using LED lighting as a feature in our homes, let alone as chandelier style pieces. Well that has all changed and I’m calling it: 2017 is the year of the statement LED! Traditionally, LED lighting wasn’t something we’d associate with high end, designer living. But that’s exactly …
I’m a big fan of relaxed linen. When it was time to replace one of my older doona covers, it had to be a dove grey linen cover that has that soft, slightly worn and very inviting texture. And the bonus is that you don’t have to iron linen – it looks perfect slightly crinkled! …
When one of the photos from this NSW property popped up in my Pinterest feed, I was compelled to click through and see more. Ohh the soft, ooh the furniture choices, ooh those views! This Clovelly home oozes sophistication and restraint. It is bathed in a colour palette of blues, whites, creams and greys, and paired …
When interiors, brand and photography meet at the top of their game, the result is something special. One such is The Penny Drop in Box Hill. This cafe sits at the base of the newly refurbished Australian Tax Office building and its name plays on the concept of the ‘penny dropping’ from the pockets of the …
Is there anything better than escaping for a few days to a place of luxury, relaxation and indulgence? It’s hard to beat right? Well when I first laid eyes on this beautiful retreat and spa in the Margaret River Wine Region, Western Australia moved quickly up the ranks in my ‘must visit very soon’ list! I’m talking …
Everything Australian furniture design house Zuster does oozes sophistication and its new collection – Embellish – does this and more, with added elements of exquisite adornment. With a sexy, grown up edge, the release captures the essence of hotel living at its finest. It is Zuster’s first dedicated hospitality furniture range, and the pieces take their cue from high end fashion runways. …
As you all know, finding out the story behind the business is one of my favourite things. I came across Mornington Peninsula-based Kate Walker (of ‘Kate Walker Design’) just recently and – like I think of all working mums out there – I just don’t know how she does it!! With a couple of kids in tow, …

I’m sure we all love the smell and feel of freshly washed clothes. But if you’re anything like me, you get sick of packing and unpacking the clothes rack to dry your clothes, particularly if you’re a little pushed for space (hello apartment living and that spare room for ‘drying’!). This is the inspiration behind …

Spell & The Gypsy Collective was created by Aussie sister duo Isabella Pennefather (who was called Spell when she was young) and Elizabeth Abegg. Featuring floral prints and floaty fabrics inspired …

I love a good story about how a product came to be, and childhood friends George Wilkins and William McCallum of George and Willy certainly have that. Stumbling upon an old roll of butcher’s paper while rummaging through one of their granddad’s boat sheds, the pair created a simple wall bracket to hold and dispense the …
