Welcome to our front sitting room at Higlett House. This space blends mid-century modern and contemporary styles together to create a fun hangout space. Photography Coastpark Creative BEFORE This room was formerly a small bedroom BEFORE This room had been turned into a bedroom by a previous owner, however I suspect this space would have been a living room originally, and so we have returned this space back to its intended purpose. By removing all of the walls in this space, and extending out on the right hand side (where the carport was), we have been able to create a longer living room area ..read more

Autumn is upon us and what a relief! It’s been a scorcher of a summer and I’m looking forward to the weather cooling down. I’ve put together my favourite stylish firewood storage options from Unearthed Garden (for both indoors and outside). Photography Sharyn Cairns Unearthed Garden’s original Wood Stacker is certainly a feature piece. It can be mounted indoors or outdoors. Made of steel and perfectly round, these Wood Stackers are lovingly designed and made in Melbourne. Available in two stock sizes - 1800mm and 1500mm diameters. These make such a striking feature - I love the way they look ..read more

It’s with great excitement, that I reveal my Coastal cabin from SheShed. Located in my backyard, this studio space offers me the ability to work from home, you gotta love a 10 second commute to work! Photography Coastpark Creative Coastal cabin from SheShed You may remember we had one of SheShed’s Star Cabins in the backyard of our previous home (click here to check it out), and we loved the fact that it gave our small home an extra space to work from. My partner used it as his photography/videography studio. It also doubled as a space he could listen to his record collection without me telli ..read more

Welcome to our backyard and back of house exterior reveal! This has been a long time coming as we began the backyard landscaping almost as soon as we got the keys. Over a year of growth on, and this space is now a lush oasis. Photography Coastpark Creative before Let’s start with the back exterior and what it used to look like. There was a tacked on laundry addition that looked completely out of sync with the rest of the home’s architecture (no doubt added later on). You had to step down into the laundry and I absolutely hated being down there. We could relocate the laundry into our new kitche ..read more

Welcome to my bedroom refresh! With a few budget-friendly pieces I’ve been able to give the room a whole new feel. I’ve been wanting to give my bedroom a little refresh for a few months now. As the home has progressed and we’ve introduced more of the colour green throughout, I’ve been craving to bring some green accents into our main bedroom. With a few budget friendly finds, I’ve been able to give this room a complete fresh feel. The very first thing I wanted to update, was the artwork. I had always felt like the previous art wasn’t big enough for this space as we have tall ceilings. When I ..read more

Photography Coastpark Creative / Interior design Lisa Allen I’m so excited to announce our Modern Farmhouse edition is at the printers! Because I’m impatient, here’s a little sneak peek look inside this Autumn issue. Photography Coastpark Creative / Interior design Lisa Allen The themes I work on for each issue of Adore are nearly always a reflection of my life at that time, and this issue is no different. I’ve been longing for more space, for nature and fresh mountain air, and I can hear the country calling my name. A tree-change might be on the cards for us this year, and with that possibi ..read more

We recently had the pleasure of staying at The Brunswick in Brunswick Heads, NSW. This beautiful adults-only boutique accommodation with its newly renovated rooms, offers guests a poolside setting against lush landscaping. Photography Coastpark Creative We stayed in a poolside room on the ground floor and instantly as we opened the door we felt relaxed by the bohemian, pared-back vibes of the space. Crisp white rendered walls with timber furniture, and gold-tone accents made the space feel calming – exactly what you want when on holiday! We loved the fact that through the room’s back door, we ..read more

Landscaping and cosmetic updates turned the façade of Reece and Dani Hinchsliff’s home into a Palm Springs-inspired dream. Home @palmy.springs / Photography Tanika Blair “We could achieve our desired look with minimal works; the home already had a skillion roof and grand front door,” says homeowner Dani Hinchsliff of @palmy.springs. Working with the existing foundations and their love for mid-century design, the husband-and-wife duo set about renovating their home’s front garden and façade. The couple cleared the existing garden and had two breezeblock screen walls built. They tackled the lan ..read more
