It’s been 12 months since we moved back to our freshly renovated farmhouse. Boy does time fly! Not a day goes by where I don’t feel so lucky to live in a beautiful light-filled house. It feels both very new, and also like we have always lived here. Talk about a paradox! Life really has…
Farm House
Good Things
ONE I picked up these gorgeous tile trivets when I was in Sydney last week with Hannah. We went to see Ed Sheeran concert last week (we gave her the tickets for her birthday in December) and took the opportunity to spend a few hours wandering the city and exploring all the things we can’t…
Full And Thorough Holiday Reporting
You guys, I have begun half a dozen blog posts in the last few weeks, and then they sit there in my drafts folder and go no further. I don’t know about you, but the summer holidays have whizzed by, and I’ve been back at work for a week now (insert sad face). I’m taking…
A Farmhouse Update
Long time no blog! Well, not a really long time, but life is full (I’m trying to say that instead of busy – it sounds better), and so blogging takes a backseat. No matter. I was wandering around the house this afternoon, and suddenly noticed lots of updates we’ve been doing lately, and thought I…
Big Things and Little

The Farmhouse Renovation Tour – Part Two
It’s been quite an effort, but at last, I’ve got part two of our farmhouse tour together. Last time I was talking about our farmhouse renovation, I got as far as showing you the outside, explaining our design concept, and giving you a tour of the main open plan living room. Today, I’m heading into…
The Farmhouse Renovation Tour – Part One
This post has been a long time coming. Six years in fact! Now that we are finally here in our farmhouse I can tell you it has been hard but totally worth the effort. Our farmhouse was originally built by C’s great grandfather in (we think) 1940. Since that time there had been some cosmetic…
Lately
It’s been four weeks since we moved back to our freshly renovated forever farmhouse, and we are starting to settle. Starting to remember where things are kept, and to develop little routines and habits in our new abode. We’ve found nooks for most things now (though not everything), and not a day goes by where…
