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 …
One of my favourite email newsletters to receive is that by Broadsheet. Just last week, this amazing new cafe popped into my inbox – full of polished concrete, touches of teal in the tiles and upholstery, and polished, brass elements. It’s No. 19 in Ascot Vale – the new venture by Diana and Domenic Caruso, who are …
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 …
Who doesn’t love wildlife? Exquisite birds, cute fluffy creatures and quirky insects. But you know what’s not to love? That so many of these animals are at threat of extinction. In fact, we could lose 50% of all species on Earth in the next 100 years. Let me introduce you to two people who have set …
It’s a space I came across almost a year ago and it has remained one of my favourite office spaces since. The white walls dressed with art, the stunning floral arrangements paired with stacks of fashion coffee-table books and the refined but covetable furniture… I’m talking about PR agency AWPR’s Sydney office. Located in Surry Hills, 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, …

There’s nothing quite like the feeling when a four legged friend greets us when we get home from work after a long day. The excited wag of a tail or contented purr helps put back into perspective what’s really important. But as much as we love our little furry friends, there’s no denying that they can …
Entertainment units have become so much more than just a place for putting your beloved TV. The reality is that the TV unit for many of us is the focal point of our living room. And if statistics are correct, we apparently spend an average of 4 hours per day watching TV. It’s our go-to place …

Upcycling, also known as ‘creative reuse’, is where you take an item that’s going to be chucked away and transform it into a new product. It’s different to recycling because instead of breaking a used item down into its constituent parts, you’re adding to the old item to make it better. It’s technically even more …
Have you ever noticed how moving into a certain space can completely change your mood? We should all live in a place that evokes happiness and makes us feel content and calm.

Nowadays, before heading off to a place to eat, I’ll do my research on Instagram to find a place I like based on what the food and styling looks like. No joke! So coming across considered, stylish eateries is one of my favourite things. I recently discovered the refurbished Manly Wharf Hotel in New South Wales, where relaxed, beachy …

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 …

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE a bit of Scandi; those simple lines, gorgeous light-toned timbers and plenty of white.

Artwork can make or break a room.
