Seeking a simple life, UK-born Rachel Waller found herself in this gorgeous, petite cottage on Lake Weyba, on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. "It's taught me that you can live very well in a small way, and you can be extremely content with less," she says.â â Filling her home with a curated selection of travel finds and vintage objects has become something of a passion for Rachel. In her stunningly green bathroom, an Art Deco sink sits next to a decorated chest found in an English antiques store.â â Take a tour via the link in bio.â â Photography: @hannahpuechmarinâ Styling: Cheryl Carrâ Words: Sue Ramseyâ â #greenbathroom #vintagesink #artdecosink #antiques #vintagefurniture
Built in 1905 for local butcher Arthur Lydney Payne and his family, this stunning Newcastle homestead has been causing passers-by to stop and soak it in for over a century.â â Now, the historic home - located on a half-acre block - is owned by Annette and Rod, plus their seven-year-old bulldog Ben, all of whom adore the property's spaciousness and convenience. "Because we came from the country, we wanted a bit of space," Rod says.â â Step inside via the link in bio.â â Photography: @brigidarnottphotographyâ Styling: @belljarinteriorsâ Words: @justicelynâ â #historichome #newcastlensw #homestead #countryhome #homeexterior
Making the decision to restore, rather than rebuild, was an easy one for the owners of this 1950s farmhouse, who were drawn to the opportunity to combine old and new.â â Saying goodbye to vinyl floors and a yellow and green kitchen, turning dark into light, and opening up spaces has allowed the pair to create their ideal family home - and accommodation - which is full of their personalities as well as markers of the past.â â Step inside via the link in bio.â â Photography: @marniehawsonâ Words: @hannahjameswordsâ Location: @dunmore_farmâ â #farmhouse #renovation #fireplace #countrydiningroom #homerestoration
Situated in Mornington Peninsula's Red Hill sits Tedesca Osteria; a restaurant helmed by Brigitte Hafner that focuses on the joys of ultra-fresh produce and honest food.â â Housed in a restored 1940s farmhouse, Brigette is dedicated to "harnessing great produce" - so much so that she has set up a biodynamic farm on its 11-hectare site. "It's not like I'm inventing anything here," she says. "It's a tried and tested formula but the skill is in interpreting a good recipe. Pay attention to details and the results can be amazing."â â Take a peek (and gain access to some of her best recipes) via the link in bio.â â Photography: @parkerblainâ Styling: @lee_blaylockâ Words: @hannahjameswords @michaelharden50â â #farmtotable #recipeideas #morningtonpeninsula #outdoordining

What started as a hobby grew into a thriving business for the owners of this Toowoomba cottage, who own Settler Hives: a business dedicated to all things sustainability and connecting with the outdoors.â â With open shelving and a sturdy timber workbench, the family's kitchen represents their dedication to a life lived without excess. "Simplicity is our thing; we have enough and try to be quite intentional about it," Hayley explains. "Our culture is often 'work more and buy more', but we're happy to have a little less and live a little more."â â Step inside via the link in bio.â â Photography: @hannahpuechmarinâ Words: @clairemactaggartâ â #beekeeping #sustainableliving #weatherboardhome #cottagehome #toowoombaqld

Perhaps not-so-shockingly, the creator of this gorgeous Geraldton home has roots in France's picturesque countryside.â â Owner Isabelle Greenfield's parents had a farmhouse in Normandy, a French coastal region where colourful window shutters, decorative timber and asymmetrical floor plans reign supreme, all features which she chose to replicate in her own Australian-based home, where she lives with her husband and children.â â Step inside via the link in bio.â â Photography: @sharyncairnsâ â #frenchhome #geraldtonwa #nativegarden #renderedexterior
The completely charming entry hallway of this fifth-generation Teesdale homestead fittingly hints at more gorgeous interiors to come.â â Built in 1857, this stately home comes complete with an incredibly rich family history, markers of which can be found around the property. "As happens with a long-term family home, each time someone's got a new idea about something, they slowly go around and do renovations," Lachie explains, recalling his grandparents' desire for aluminium sliding doors and blue lino.â â Take a tour via the link in bio.â â Photography: @marniehawsonâ Styling: @bellebrightprojectâ Words: @penny.carrollâ â #entryway #countryhallway #vintageart #countryhomestead
Having grown up in Wooroola, 25 minutes south of Wagga Wagga, artist Julia Roche recalls endless, carefree days; camping outside under the stars, building treehouses and playing in the woolshed.â â This is a lifestyle that she has imparted to her children, relocating from Sydney back to the exact property she spent her early years on â a move that has also served to enrich her art. "I have a strong desire to keep understanding the history of our landscape and that connection to my space," she explains.â â Take a tour via the link in bio.â â Photography: @brigidarnottphotographyâ Styling: @belljarinteriorsâ Words: @clairemactaggartâ â #farmhouse #countryhome #countrygarden #waggawagga
