A dreamy home-from-home in Australia

Third gloomy day in a row here and I have to admit I'm not feeling the 'hygge'. And no amount of candles, sheepskins and kanelbullar are going to help. Instead, I'm dreaming about a visit to The Estate Trentham, and it seems to be lifting my spirits no end! Located an hour from Melbourne and inspired by Scandinavian interiors (cue white washed walls and a pared-back look) The Estate Trentham is an original early twentieth century three bedroom federation house surrounded by beautiful gardens. And if that's not enough, it's also been artfully decorated with lovely muted autumn colours, soft natural textiles and a wonderful mix of old and new. In other words my ideal get-away and the perfect antidote to gloomy days! Excuse me while I search for flights....

See you there?!

I wanted to be able to use this little space to pick out a small detail but I have to say, the whole house is positively dreamy!


Is there anything that stands out to you in particular?

Get the look (if my home looked even a little like this I'd be thrilled): pick up an industrial pendant here, I like this jute rug. The sofa looks like a Gervasoni ghost (beautiful!). This online shop sells cushions in autumn colours.  Vintage scissor lamps. I like Kara Rosenlund's horse and nature inspired prints.

Loving the neutral colour scheme with touches of brown it reminds me a lot of Kara Rosenlund's home which I featured a few weeks back. Maybe I can do this Autumn thing after all!

More holiday rentals in my archive  here (you so knew that was coming right?!).

Have a lovely day!

Georg Jensen - You can never be too much you

As one of three sisters and mother to two (wonderful) girls championing women is something I'm passionate about. If you feel the same you'll feel so inspired by Georg Jensen's latest campaign.  Georg Jensen has been on the cutting edge of design for more than 112 years and renowned for artistic boldness, superior craftmanship and visionary collaborations with leading artists and designers. 'You can never be too much you' encourages women all over the world to empower themselves and never compromise on their personalities.  The campaign stars 5 influential and inspirational women who are 'demanding, strong, provocative, loud and ambitious': award winning film director Susanne Bier, WBA, WBC and WBO world champion welterweight boxer Cecilia Brækhus,  the world's best female chef Dominique Crenn, award-winning comedian Sarah Kendall and professional motocross rider Behnaz Shafiei. The campaign video is so unbelievably powerful, and the message applies to everyone, not just women.  I hope you feel as moved and inspired as I do!

'you will always be too much of something for someone: too big, too loud, too soft, too edgy. If you round out your edges, you lose your edge'

- Danielle LaPorte.
