Welcome to our home—my son’s and my little slice of paradise. Take a wander through this carousel of my favourite moments from this year, beautifully captured by one of my favourite photographers, @creative.mediahouse.

Since moving in back in 2014, I’ve been doing the place up slowly, one or two jobs each year. All year long I save, chip away at the never-ending restoration to-do list, and then spend my Christmas holidays tackling whatever project is next.

This year, the list is looking a little lighter; I have just a few small jobs in mind. It might finally be the year I spend more time at the beach and the farm instead! (I think I’ve had enough menty b’s for one year.) 🤣

Swipe all the way to the end to see the state the house was in when I bought it. It honestly feels like a miracle to now have a home I’m proud of… but sometimes miracles just take some hard work and time. ✨

P.S. I am so thankful for everyone (trades and friends) who have worked with me on my house… I think we’re up in the hundreds now of people who have helped me on it!

It’s been one year since I first started doing up

Come behind the scenes on install day for one our styling projects we completed this year!

You’d be surprised by just how many moving parts go into pulling a project like this together; from mood boards and room mock-ups, to furniture sourcing, custom artwork, and a delivery and install schedule timed down to the minute. It’s quite an art!

More to come in 2026!

A highlight this year has been working for @zone1projects to look after the styling and creative direction of the shoot of their latest completed build, Stanley.

A project of this scale involves months of thoughtful preparation; a LOT of coordination, hundreds of emails, and curating objects and soft furnishings that bring depth and character to a home that is (in all honesty) already a masterpiece.

If you’ve been with us for a while, you’ll know how passionate we are about championing local artisans in every project. A special thanks to @houndandclay and @nioka.clay for supplying some of the most beautiful ceramic pieces.

You’ll get a glimpse of some of the stunning, high-end linen used in the shoot supplied by @halemercantile, other beautiful design pieces from @trit.house and artwork from @studiogallerygroup.

We’ll be sharing more of this home over the coming weeks, but for now, take a look at our shoot day prep!

Studio Sounds:

— The team tapping away on our keyboards
— The kettle boiling, and boiling again
— Either A) The latest Indie Folk hits on Spotify drifting in the background, or B) Lionel Richie, Fleetwood Mac, or Toto taking over (usually sometime after 2pm) 😉

As a boutique styling and creative direction studio, we’re fortunate to have a beautiful, steady rhythm of projects; both the ones we’re currently immersed in and those we’re dreaming up for the future.

That said, we have now opened our 2026 calendar for February and March! If you’ve been considering working with us for your interiors, socials, or an upcoming photo shoot, we’d love to chat.

Reach out, even just for a conversation, as our calendar openings don't tend to stay available for long. 🤎

Interior styling is the art of adding depth and character to a space through considered layers of furniture, objects, artwork, and greenery.

At the beautiful Hazlewood House, our role was to introduce an additional layer of styling in preparation for its editorial feature in Inside Out magazine.

Finishing touches from iconic Australian brands including @jardanfurniture and @andclay.co, along with pieces from talented independent Australian artists, bring a sense of completeness, warmth, and individuality to this already stunning home.
