Okay we back! After a wonderful break we are back

That’s a wrap! Celebrating the year that was.... 2026 is going to be bringing a new look and level of creativity... not just for us... but for our clients too!

We’ll be back on the 12th of January and all emails will be responded to then. Let the holidays begin!

Come along with us to our Studio Team Christmas Pa

Come along with us to our Studio Team Christmas Party last night at the beautiful @alsahwaestate! It was the most beautiful location to celebrate an equally beautiful team of amazing women who have worked so hard behind-the-scenes this year! (And Lauren our artist in residence for 2025 who kept bringing snacks and good vibes to the studio!) I love you all… thanks for an amazing year. 🫶✨

A lot can happen in a single year—and this one wel

A lot can happen in a single year—and this one well and truly proved it.

This year we moved into our new studio, a space that has gradually evolved from four blank walls into something that feels unmistakably like home.

We streamlined the way we manage projects, reshaping the way we work with the goal to serve our clients with even more clarity and care.

And our work… it travelled far and wide! This year it found its way into The Design Files, Home Beautiful (more than once), Adore Magazine, Belle Magazine, The Local Project, a European book, and a constellation of online features.

There were more belly laughs in the studio than any year before, and miraculously; I found a healthier balance between the business and my personal life. I took my first proper holiday in 12 years and managed to stay offline for most of it. (And came back refreshed with lots of ideas for our clients!)

But the most meaningful change didn’t come from the usual accolades. It came from the everyday rhythm of steady work, from the gratitude expressed by our clients, and from the privilege of being trusted again and again to bring their projects to life.

2025 will forever feel like the year that set the tone for all the good still to come in the years ahead! Thanks for celebrating this with us on socials and telling your friends about us.

Much love,
Hayley

We love Olivia Dean as much as the next person, but if you’re ready for a break from hearing “Come Be The Man I Need” and are looking to bring a little uniqueness back to your socials, then this post is for you!

Here are some song choices we’re currently loving that feel fresh and creative, with a touch a vintage. You can listen to our favourite songs on our Wholehearted Studio Spotify. 💌

We are all about gifting that's both useful and me

We are all about gifting that's both useful and meaningful. Here are a few simple ways (and ideas!) of how we’re approaching gifting this Christmas to keep it meaningful and heartfelt:

— Support local makers and small businesses where you can.
— Consider reusable or handmade wrapping options.
— Give experiences or time together instead of just things.
— Add a handwritten note to make it personal.

Here are some beautiful stores and brands to help you support local if you are near us on the Sunshine Coast. And if you aren't local to us hopefully these ideas help prompt you to think of an equivalent for your own postcode!

1. @itssundaystill linen journals and planners. They are premium small-batch produced journals by a local Sunshine Coast business, and we love them! (Pictured above!)
2. @elbadi_ for vintage pieces and my favourite Drift candles.
3. @thegeneralstorepalmwoods is full of handmade treasures.
4. @yandina_country_markets if full of local and handmade stall holders. The markets are on every Saturday in Yandina on the Sunshine Coast.
5. @nioka.clay and @tessmmiller have ceramics available on their online stores. Just DM to ask if you can do local pick up or express postage.
6. Book a dinner, class, or voucher at my favourite restaurants @the_spirithouse, @mapleton.pub or @sumyungguys
7. Book a painting class at @artschool.co
8. Visit @berkelouw_books_eumundi to find the perfect book. I am currently loving 'Nature People' by @cesar_on_safari, @lifeunhurried, and Creative Homes - Belgium.
9. A night away on @airbnb. I love @little_olive_eco_cabin.
10. Artwork, ceramics, or gifts from @stevenstreetgallery or @artnuvobuderim.

I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately on the impacts of overusing social media and technology, and it’s been confronting in ways I didn’t expect.

When tech is so deeply embedded in our work lives, it becomes even harder to recognise just how much time we spend online.

With the holiday break approaching, we’ve put together a list of practical tips that may help if you’re hoping to step back from your phone, emails, socials and screens... even just a little.
