Set on 2500 square metres, this grand Queenslander in Toowoomba is a quiet sanctuary - but located only one kilometre from town. "It's like having a country house in the middle of the city," says homeowner Bec.⁠
⁠
Inside, Bec has blended a mixture of heirlooms and new pieces - and plenty of art to line the walls. "I think art should be fun, relaxed and personal," she says. "I like putting different things together and choose art that I'm drawn to, and the room will evolve from there."⁠

This heritage home in Victoria's tiny town of Dry Diggings has been gently restored, ensuring it will remain a time capsule for years to come.⁠
⁠
Because of the home's small size, every item brought in had to be carefully considered. Here in the dining room, copper pots from owner Ben's beloved late mother Raewyn, and a table that once belonged to his great-grandmother, add meaning.⁠

Christmas is a special time in the home of food writer Julia Busuttil Nishimura. ⁠
⁠
Inspired by traditions around the world, the young family has created their own rituals, including nibbling warm cinnamon buns and sipping hot chocolate. It's a European-style twist reminiscent of Christmases Julia has spent in Italy, Malta and France, where the temperature gauge plummets rather than rises.⁠
⁠
This year, bring Julia's taste of Italy into your own home in the form of this pandoro, raspberry and ricotta trifle.⁠

Since purchasing this beach shack, artist Allira Henderson and her husband Christian have steadily transformed it into a cosy home for their daughters, filling it with art, collected antiques and salvaged finds. ⁠
⁠
"We go to antique or op shops together, and adventuring on beaches where we know with certain tides there is a wash up. We find old things off boats and do a beach clean while we are there," Allira says.⁠

Surrounded by plump roses and rolling lawns, it's only fitting that this Californian bungalow's interiors would be similarly soft and sweet.⁠
⁠
Owned by Jim Ferguson and Emily McEachern, the home, located in Victoria's Goulburn Valley, has extra-special meaning. "Jim is the third 'James Ferguson' to live here," Emily says. "His father passed away suddenly from a heart attack in 1998, so he grew up here with his mum and four older sisters."⁠

A Georgian-era family home was the romantic venue for this intimate celebration, featuring soft florals, fairy lights and a touch of rain.⁠
⁠
"We had originally planned to get married in the Tuscan countryside in a castle built in the 1600s, surrounded by rolling hills and century-old vineyards," says Penelope, who's known as Poppy. "COVID had other plans, and after making the difficult decision to cancel, we decided a Georgian estate in Tasmania wasn't a bad trade-off!"⁠
