Beautifully styled houses are great, but what I really love is when I can see all the little details that make the house a home.

Family photos, souvenirs from holidays, a painting the kids made, something handed down through the family. The things that tell you a little about the people who live there.

They're often the most interesting things in a room, and I think they deserve to be on display.

Just a couple of these hand made limited-edition Halloween candle sets available

Once they’re gone, they’re gone. 🎃

I once carried a large handpainted plate home from Italy in my backpack. Yellow and blue, wrapped in every T-shirt I owned, and checked on more often than my passport.

It's still one of my favourite things in our house. Every time I see it, I'm back there.

That's the thing about the pieces we love. The furiture gets replaced. But the pieces with a story stay.

We've just added new limited edition prints by Smith & Brooks, along with few beautiful Australian originals. Go and find the one that'll still be on your wall in twenty years.

What's the piece in your house with the best story? I'd love to hear it.

We couldn't agree more with this Shea McGee quote ✨

Made in small batches in the Barossa Valley, these are the sort of everyday things I love finding for the Nest. Useful, beautifully made and much nicer sitting beside the sink than a supermarket bar.

Anyone else suddenly feel the need to clean EVERYTHING the minute spring arrives?

Windows open, washing on the line, cupboards getting sorted… spring cleaning really is a thing.

If you’re in the same mood, we’ve got just a few of our beautiful Alive cleaning essentials left in the Nest.

Australian made, refillable and good-looking enough to leave out, because even the practical things can be beautiful.

Just a handful left, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

This is the kind of home I want to create.

This beautiful Mittagong home just feels so warm, inviting and authentically Australian to me. Relaxed, interesting, a little imperfect and full of personality.

And it’s all the little details that make it. Original art and ceramics. Twigs gathered in a basket. Earthy colours and layers of texture, mixed with pops of colour from fresh hydrangeas. Even the little kangaroo toy sitting in the child’s room.

There’s so much to look at, but nothing feels overly styled or contrived. Just beautiful things, personal things, and pieces that feel like they’ve found their place over time.

Would you bid on a beautiful piece of Australian art if every dollar went to childhood cancer research?

We’re going gold! September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a cause very close to my heart, and gold is the colour used around the world to represent childhood cancer awareness.

When I saw the beautiful golden wattle in Smith & Brooks’ Complanata Form I, I had a little idea. When I mentioned it to the lovely Kerrin and Jacky, they very generously offered to donate this print.

So, to celebrate our collaboration, we’re holding a Go Gold Silent Auction, with 100% of the winning bid donated to Children’s Cancer Institute.

Complanata Form I is an unframed fine art paper print valued at $340, with bidding opening at $200.

Bidding is now open and will close Wednesday 16 September at 8pm AEST.

If you’d like to place a bid, you’ll find the auction at the link in bio. And if bidding isn’t for you, I’d love you to share this post and help us spread the word.
