A Light Filled Australian Beach House

Blonde timber tones create warmth in this relaxed beach house.

A beautiful light-filled beach house … smooth floorboards underfoot,
honey wood contrasting with off white walls,
minimal modern furnishings with mid-century influences …

A Modern Mid Century Beach House

An Australian Coastal Retreat

This relaxed, family holiday home has a modern, mid century feel to it. It boasts four bedrooms, three bathrooms and is only five minutes walk to the beach. A few of it's standout features are the innovative kitchen splashback tiling, the timber batten screen and the wide timber beachy looking floorboards.

A Modern Coastal Christmas

 

Loving this low key coastal Christmas style

This once dated coastal home has undergone an eight month renovation, and is now a fresh beachy family getaway … painted white with white-washed oak floorboards and modern furnishings, it has that perfect relaxed weekender vibe.

Down Under Escape | Cabarita Beach

 

 

   

Down Under Escpape : Halcyon House Cabarita Beach

I discovered this Australian gem of a hotel on an American blog, even though it's almost in my own backyard!! Designed by one of Australia's most creative and innovative interior designers Anna Spiro this cute, little boutique hotel is definetely on my holiday wish list for 2016.

This is my kind of hotel, a place where the experience is unique and one of kind. Somewhere that feels personal, homely but also imbues a sense of excitement and adventure. A place that excites me visually and makes me what to grab my camera and take a million photos. I love seeing fresh, creative ideas to freshen up my own design work and way of thinking. I love hotels that reflect the local culture and the spirit of the place that you are visiting.

Halcyon House is full of colour, a blurry mix of patterns and prints all put together with a fabulous eye for detail. Anna must have had a lot of fun putting together this project. Located on Cabarita Beach, it's just a quick 30 minute drive from Byron Bay. This is a beautiful, peaceful part of the world known for it's magical sunsets, great surf, breathtaking coastline and laid-back, beachy bohemian vibe.

One of my husband's surfing buddies lives there so we now have an excuse to go visit him and the perfect place to stay!
