Hello, I’m Rachael

Hello, My name is Rachael and I live in Brisbane. I have a passion for real homes and styling in its many forms eg. editorial for magazines, prop styling and interior styling. I adore good craftsmanship, clever designs and a balanced approach to styling the home with heart. Creating design-based tutorials for this blog nurtures my creative / crafty side and styling appeals to my love of formation & detail. I also enjoy any opportunity to be resourceful! I adore the slow pace of the country side and going on beach holidays with my family. I am also a mum to two lovely boys.
