Based in Coffs Harbour, Salt Living’s founder Jacinta headed north for a special shoot with us at my place @oxleighhouse, here on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. 

And in case you missed it last Friday night, the full shoot story is on our Journal, with all the behind-the-scenes details and a deeper look into how we create these beautiful scenes.

For this shoot, we styled the space to best represent Jules' existing style and the feel of her home, with a touch of seasonal locally grown dusty pink and white florals, decor from her collection, and some beautiful linen pieces from @halemercantileco.

Before my business was born, I used to have a blog Before my business was born, I used to have a blog called Hayley Wholehearted. It was pre-Instagram days and I would post photos of things that I had made to have a little creative outlet. 

Friday night would be my favourite night to either publish a blog post or I would spend the evening reading through other creative people’s blogs and I absolutely loved it.

So tonight, I’m taking things back to where it all started! I’m excited to share with you our latest blog post where we take you behind the scenes on our recent campaign shoot for @saltliving.

You can read all about it on the Wholehearted Journal now. 

We loved putting this together for you, so make sure you tell us if you love it and we can endeavour to do it more often! 🤎
Ever since I did a post the other week about my ho Ever since I did a post the other week about my house being a shoot location, I’ve had lots of people asking questions about my house again.

So! If you’re new here… here’s the long story short: solo Mum (me) with a 9-month-old baby, convinced a bank manager to loan her money to buy a 90-year-old Queenslander, started renovating it, and built a styling business at the same time.

Then, after I’d renovated it a little bit, it got written about in a local magazine. When that magazine came out, it was dropped off at a local cafe. The son of the first lady to ever live here and his wife saw the article while having a cuppa, recognised the front door, and emailed me!

Next thing I knew, they were coming over for morning tea. They told me all about the history of my house, Mrs Bennett, the first lady to live here, and then gave me a collection of photos of my house through the years. And then they dropped off the original dining chair that belonged to the family.

I couldn’t have dreamed this story up even if I tried. It was like the movie ‘Under the Tuscan Sun’, but a Nambour version, lol. 

Anyways… since settling into my role as Creative Director and Stylist here at Wholehearted Studio, and being busy working on shoots myself, it is so rewarding to now get to share my artisan Queenslander as a shoot location.

If you’d like to use @oxleighhouse for your next Sunshine Coast shoot location, send us a message or book via the link in our bio. 🤎

Happy first day of Spring and welcome to all the n Happy first day of Spring and welcome to all the new people who have found our corner of the internet this week! We’re a styling studio and we love to curate beautiful visual stories like this one! 

Take a look at our shoot for @countrystylemag and some of the work that goes into a shoot day. Truth be told, 90% of the hard work happens before we even pull up to the shoot location! 

We also love working with amazing photographers like @hannahpuechmarin and pulling very serious concentration faces while we work (ok it’s mostly me, Hayley, that does that! IYKYK.)

This Spring issue of @countrystylemag featuring @diamondcottageblooms is available for sale at your local newsagent now. 🤎
