More Glimpses @ Brabourne Farm

Looking through to the front door from the sitting room. Please ignore the dog - every time I try to take their photo they look embarrassed and disappear but every time I take a photo of the house they're in the photo and won't leave!

I found this old meat safe in Blackheath in the Blue Mountains - it's had many uses of the years but at the moment it holds the radio and books.

This chair was found in a junk shop in Katoomba (also in the Blue Mountains) - it had many coats of old paint, all the rattan was missing and cost all of $10.00!

I love wicker covered bottles - unfortunately they're very hard to find in Australia. My latest find is the largest bottle at the back, which was used for holy water at Lourdes.

An Open Approach

Open kitchen shelves are the perfect place to store and display your china and glassware. It doesn't matter if its old or new, your everyday dinner set or most beautiful treasures - displayed together they look wonderful and give your kitchen its own character.

Be My Guest

We love having friends stay for the weekend so to me it's really important to have somewhere lovely for them to enjoy their visit. My guest room necessities are beautiful, sunshine fresh sheets and a plump doona, a soft throw, a jug of iced water, fresh, fluffy towels and bathrobe, books and magazines, flowers, candles and a big dose of Southern Highlands night air!

Belgian Country House

.

I love this classic country house designed by architect Dirk Van Vlierberghe. The use of colours, textures and materials as well as the mix of antique and modern furniture has created a beautiful house. Love the grape-covered outdoor dining area - what a fabulous place for a summer lunch!
