A beautiful vintage inspired Australian home

Remember this ethereal bedroom with ensuite I showed last Sunday? Well this morning I was really excited to discover the rest of the home. Vintage House Daylesford is a former 1860's miners cottage which has been lovingly restored to highlight the original features of the space and decorated to perfection with the help of the oh so talented Kali Cavanagh. And the good news? It's available to rent!

Interior : Kali Cavanagh, Vintage House Daylesford via Desire to inspire and 79 ideas

The ethereal style is not far off Australia based Kara Rosenlund's home (also featured here) and this lovely vintage inspired guest house, don't you think? If ever there's an excuse to go down under.....

Have a lovely day!

Pequeño apartamento de 40 m ² / Small apartment of 40 m ²

Tener un piso pequeño siempre es un reto, lo primordial es la sencillez, pocos elementos para conseguir la máxima sensación de amplitud y agudizar el ingenio para sacar el máximo provecho a cualquier rincón.

¿Qué te parece este pequeño apartamento nórdico de tan solo 40 m ² ?

Quick B & A- Morning Snack

This is not an extravagnet B & A, just a quickie but before and afters are always fun to see. A client had a pair of these chairs she wondered if we could use somewhere. It just so happens I have those same chairs in my office so I knew how easily they could be transformed.

A few coats of spray paint and a new cushion from the upholsterer and voila….

Loose Wavy Curls // Remington Styling Wand

Happy Monday guys! We celebrated my son's 4th birthday yesterday with a small party at home. It was nice to keep it intimate and everyone had a good time and got to hang out and relax. Being a mom is my favorite thing in the whole world and I feel like I am blessed with the sweetest little guy. He picks me tiny "flowers" from the yard, sings with me in the car, and holds my face in his dirty toddler hands and says sincerely, "You are so lovely." Melts my heart!

I recently shared some of my "new mom" stories at Small Fry Blog if you want to check it out.

Since I got some nice compliments (thank you!) on my hair on my instagram (@honeywerehome), I wanted to share the tool I use to get those loose wavy curls- the Remington Styling Wand. It's inexpensive too- $21.50.

I've gotten pretty good at using it and it doesn't take me nearly as long as it used to. I heat the wand to 270 degrees (even though it gets much hotter) and using the glove, I just curl my hair all the way around in about 1 1/2 inch sections, away from my face, holding for about 10-15 seconds. After it's all curled, I shake it out and pull the curls apart a little with my fingers (it's like a poodle curl right after it's done) and spray with Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Hairspray. (A little goes a long way.)

Hope this helps!

A cosy monochrome space in Stockholm

Hello Monday! Keeping it simple for the start of the week with this lovely Stockholm apartment decorated in monochrome and grey. Could you imagine the coffee pot on the stove steaming away while you enjoy a magazine. Some First Aid Kit playing in the background perhaps?

Fantastic Frank

Stand out factors for me: the black bumling light, the black and white floor and the linen bedding. How about you?!

Other black, white and grey homes I love include this, this and this one. Oh so lovely!

Have a gorgeous day!
