Decorating with yellow, it's back and it's beautiful

 

winter at Beechmont 

So pleased to bag the YV&R cover for this beautiful home and garden in Olinda.

Beechmont is a breath taking, 9 acre property- a heady mix of colours, scents,

towering trees, flowers and foliage. The gardens have long been an unforgettable

sensory experience for visitors to the Yarra Ranges.

The 1970's home has recently had a major reno courtesy of the new owner, and Melbourne's most famous florist, Cherrie Miriklis of Flowers Vasette.

I love the design of this room, and its textural rough and smooth combination.

The woven floor rug and chunky knit ottoman ruffle a few smooth surfaces and the turmeric gets a little spicy with the creamy, natural palette.

If you are looking for gorgeous soft furnishings then head over to Indus Design.

Their cushions and throws not only come in beautiful colours and designs but they are also incredibly soft- a 'must have' especially on those cold winter nights in the Ranges!

The spare room you really need!

Home Beautiful April issue

picture perfect glamper van + all weather adirondack

 

 is it a teen retreat?

  a study or soho maybe?

 

 what about a sewing room?

  or a place to kick off your shoes and relax :)

 

The glamper van...aawwgh I want one

 Originally designed as Shepherds huts in Europe ( the Mr Ed door keeps the shepherd

half warm while he keeps an eye on the whole flock) these bespoke beauties are all the rage in the UK for alternative camping holidays or as the spare room you suddenly

realised you just can't live without.

Banish teenagers, write your memoirs or create a set of family pantaloons from

those old drapes- the possibilities are endless!

Some huts even come with a kitchenette and bathroom!

 

All the gorgeous décor in the hut comes from Metisse, in Olinda and the lime adirondack is from Polywood outdoors. The huts are handcrafted by Blackdown Shepherds Huts in Monbulk and Caroline, the owner of the business loves a chat and can tell you so much more about these custom made beauties.

A wonderful family home with 2 girls, 2 Dachshunds and 2 clever parents.

Watermelon anyone?
