Hej kompisar! I hope you had a lovely, relaxing weekend. I mentioned last week that I'd been chasing my tail, and it seems this week is set to continue - I arrived in Gothenburg late last night as I'm set to present on stage at Möbelmässan (the Gothenburg furniture fair) this afternoon. Eeeeek! During my research, I've learnt a lot about 2025 interior design trends which I'd love to share with you soon.
In the meantime, I thought I'd start the blog week with a total reset in the form of a white shed, also known as The Potting Shed. Set in the grounds of Bunya House in Bowral, New South Wales, Australia, I found myself immediately drawn to it today as a) it's far away 2) it's on Airbnb so we can actually book it! 3) it's small - and if you've seen the tour of our tiny cabin, you know I love small and finally 4) it oozes simplicity.
The shed is made up of one main room with a sink, small table and bed as well as a bathroom. Since it's hard to tell from the pictures - as you walk in the door seen above, the sink is immediately to your right and the table straight ahead. The bed is to the left.
Ready to take a little tour of this simple, airy guesthouse?
Could you imagine staying here and filling it with your holiday wardrobe and food picked up at the local market? Perhaps we could meet there: the main house is also available to rent through Airbnb. Now there's an idea for a Monday! I already see a spot for that glass of wine (Australian of course!).
Is there anything that stood out to you about this little cottage? I'd love to hear below!
Although I mainly show Scandinavian homes, you'll have noticed I do have a particular penchant for Australian properties (I must visit one day, never been!). You can see all the tours from the past here.
Right friends, I need to get ready for this talk now, wish me luck and have a fab start to the week.
Kram

I would stay here in a heartbeat. What a sweet space. I like the extra hooks on the walls for clothing, and the bench with a table--you could use it as a desk, for games, or for a light snack. Wondering if a mini-fridge is behind the curtain under the main sink?
ReplyDeleteI think you could be right about the fridge - and maybe even a portable stove or something? There are quite a lot of cooking utensils which means there must be a way to store and prep food too.
DeleteI just wanted to thank you for all your posts over these past years. Really appreciate them, and they are often a great start of my day and a big source of inspiration. Thank you for this and for
ReplyDeleteThe enthusiasm in which you share your passion!
I second those words! Thank you!
DeleteGood luck with your presentation. I look forward to hearing about design trends of the future, even though I'm not sure I follow trends!! : > ) I started following your blog during the pandemic and have never stopped. I love today's little guest house. I grew up in a rather chaotic home so I find the peacefulness and simplicity really tantalizing!! Thank you for your posts.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, the presentation went well and it was so fun to be back on stage (even if I felt a little nervous before!). I am happy you appreciate the peacefulness of this. I too grew up in a chaotic home with stuff absolutely everywhere - probably why this calm look resonates with me too!
DeletePretty little guest house. Would be bliss to sit on those steps on a sunny day.
ReplyDeleteAll the best with your talk, it sounds great. Wish we could watch recordings of your presentations!
Me too, don't follow trends, but observe them carefully:) Thank you for this little quiet corner!
Thank you, it's a shame it wasn't recorded as it would have been fun to share it with you! Maybe something I can think about for the future. I hear you on trends - If anything I am more likely to give a subtle nod to them in what I wear rather than how I decorate my home. I'll hopefully share something soon!
DeleteThank you for this posting. What a lovely and simply beautiful space. I'm happy you're going to share what designs will be introduced in 2025.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to put something together soon. In the meantime, I'm happy you enjoyed the tour of this lovely little place.
DeleteSo welcoming, charming and fresh
ReplyDeleteAgree! :)
DeleteHi Niki
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know, Bowral is in New South Wales, south of Sydney.
It’s a charming town with fabulous cafes, shops, galleries, nature walks and parkland.
Their tulip festival boasts a spectacular display of 80,000 tulips and is on right now!
Thank you so much, will update right away. It sounds like a wonderful place, I so hope to visit one day.
DeleteI’m so late to the party, but just had to pop in to comment on how sweet and stylish this “shed” is. So adorable and appealing!
ReplyDeleteNever too late Pamela! I'm happy you enjoyed the tour of this lovely 'shed' too :)
DeleteLove it...simple but beautiful
ReplyDeleteyes, so true!
