Coastal Bedroom

Get The Look

Sleep tight in this peaceful sanctuary.

A bedroom should be restful, peaceful and calming.
A place of tranquility and comfort.
I have just bought a very fancy sheepskin electric blanket with six heat settings ~
it was expensive but it's total luxury.
Not only is it soft and warm but I've been having the best sleeps
 because I've never too hot or too cold.
Other factors that I think really make a bedroom a sanctuary is ~
lovely quality bedlinen, soft lighting,
good heating and cooling, attractive surroundings and beautiful candles.

Decorate your Home Like a Montauk Hotel

 

 

 

 

  

Take your design cue from the Montauk Surf Lodge

I would love to head to the Hampton's this summer and stay a night or two at the Montauk Surf Lodge. Part hipster hangout, part fisherman’s lair and part bohemian retreat, this establishment is understated, groovy and up-to-the-minute to please the most cutting edge and cosmopolitan crowds. Hotels like these are redefining hospitality standards in the Long Island beach locale creating a very cool niche market of boutique hotels for discerning travellers. Looking for some inspiration? Then the Surf Loge has heaps of funky beach ideas to steal or simply inspire. I love it's surf shack appeal, rustic finishes and attention to detail.

Love The Sea

Since moving to the coast I have learnt to appreciate the simple things in life like ~ 

white sand and windswept beaches
the ever changing moods of the sea
good coffee in the morning
farm fresh eggs and home grown veggies
sourdough bread with homemade jam and
of course my beautiful beach house
with it's ocean view.

Summer Wonderland

Gemma Ward stars in Country Road's 'Summer Wonderland' campaign.

Iconic Australian fashion label Country Road celebrated their 40th birthday with Australian model, Gemma Ward and her ten month old daughter, Naia. After some much needed time out, this was Gemma's comeback campaign and what a lovely way to ease back into the modelling world than a relaxed, Aussie beach shoot surrounded by family. Travelling to the northern beaches in NSW, the campaign pays homage to the quintessential summer holiday of sun, sand and sea, where traditions are built and memories are made.

Vintage Living

The beauty of vintage treasures.

Vintage style celebrates the history and character of pre-loved pieces,
flea-market finds, second-hand bargains and vintage treasures.
Give these one-of-kind, unique pieces pride of place in your home.
It may be an old farmhouse table or a family heirloom that can be re-invented.
These pieces may need some TLC with a coat of paint or new upholstery
to breathe some new life back into them.
The key to this look is not to 'overdo'  it.
A few key pieces mixed in will have more impact than a room full of junk!
Keep the colour palette simple in order to tie random pieces together.
