A bit of colour for your Thursday!â â In the gorgeous 1950s farmhouse home of interior designer Penny Sheehan, vibrant tones and playful patterns are a key ingredient. Taking inspiration from the prolific Anna Spiro and also from a beloved piece of floral fabric she'd had stashed away for years, Penny saw the transformation of this sweet homestead as an opportunity to "spread her design wings". â â "I always loved the palette of colours in that fabric, so I drew from that a lot," she explains.â â Step inside via the link in bio.â â Photography: @brigidarnottphotographyâ Styling: @belljarinteriorsâ Words: @penny.carrollâ Location: @moorabindaguesthouseâ â #colourfulhome #greenbedroom #pattern #countryhome #farmhouse
Kelpie Frank, Jack Russell Scout, chocolate labrador Barry (who belongs to a friend of the owner), kelpie Mig, and koolie Sue rule the roost at this historic-sheep-station-turned-accommodation near Hesse in Victoria's Western District.â â The mid-1800s bluestone buildings have been lovingly restored by owner Damian over time and now, visitors can experience them in all their glory, along with the rest of the 263-hectare property, with opportunities to stay in the cottage, shearers quarters or heritage-listed homestead.â â Step inside via the link in bio.â â Photography: @markroperphotographyâ Styling: @lee_blaylockâ Words: @clairemactaggartâ â #countrydogs #bluestonebuildings #historicbuildings #uniquecaccommodation
Exposed timber beams and large windows frame the bushy outlook of this ever-changing Blue Mountains home.â â Rustic and completely charming, this Mount Tomah property has been through more than a few reinventions, starting out as a single-room cabin and later extended as the owners' lives evolved. But â matter how many changes are made, time spent here remains more or less the same; mornings starting with hot bowls of porridge, slow-cooked overnight in the oven of the 1950s AGA.â â Step inside via the link in bio.â â Photography: @mareehomer.photographyâ Styling: @kerrieann_jones_stylistâ â #rusticcabin #bluemountainsnsw #cabin #timberbeams
You may never have guessed that this gorgeous established garden belongs to a Barossa Valley home that was once the rectory of a Catholic Church.â â The house itself, when discovered by Cherie and Damien, was in near ruins. In fact, it was renowned cook and much-adored personality Maggie Beer who provided the sage advice that the pair would adopt to restore and renovate this space; "She said don't do things too quickly,⨠as you won't understand what you need to change until you actually live in it for a while and you've been annoyed by it."â â Step inside via the link in bio.â â Photography: @markroperphotographyâ Stylist: @lee_blaylockâ Words: @ginimhoffâ â #lavender #countrygarden #churchconversion #homeconversion #barossavalley

Though the two weren't in search of a property when visiting Tasmania's west coast four years ago, Claire and Matthew's visit to bayside Bushy Summers sparked a new adventure.â â "We pulled it apart and stripped it down to its bones," says Claire of the renovation, which included new flooring, wiring and plumbing. "We lived in a caravan on site... It was both challenging and charming."â â Step inside via the link in bio.â â Photography: @nicgossageâ Styling: @clairelloydsensuallivingâ Words: @alicemoffittâ â #baysidehome #tasmania #lettesbaytas #blackcottage

"It's just heaven," says Kylie. â â Take a tour via the link in bio.â â Photography: @nicgossageâ Styling: @_michellecrawfordâ â #outdoorbath #wildgarden #countrygarden #gardenwall
Though most would see an unloved baker's shop, with dingy living quarters in a peeling 1980s palette, all Elise Croker saw was potential.â â With the intent to create a place for visiting family to stay - as well as for her own family to enjoy - Elise used her eye for design to totally transform this once rundown store.â â Step inside via the link in bio.â â Photography: @marniehawsonâ Words: @hannahjameswordsâ â #woodfireplace #countryinteriors #vintageart #countryhome
While the owners of this renovated '90s farmhouse originally had their hearts set on a colonial weatherboard in the same location, serendipity would instead see them settle here.â â "We settled on this very overgrown five acres," homeowner Nikki recalls. "But Luke had a vision for the property when he saw it; this section of the creek is quite secluded and the valley is stunning."â â Step inside via the link in bio.â â Photography: @hannahpuechmarinâ Words: @clairemactaggartâ â #farmhouse #countryrenovation #countryhome #queenslandhome
