Australian Home Beautiful – August 2019

KITCHEN“It’s not so big but it’s very cosy,” says Mari of the light and bright kitchen (above left & bottom right), which is full of charm thanks to
displays of ceramics, wicker baskets and vintage enamelware (for similar try Vintage & Nostalgia Co). “The good thing about the kitchen not being
so big is that I can repaint it as often as I wish,” she says. “I can basically do it during a weekend. I don’t know how many colours it has had by now.”
LIVING ROOM Keen to add authentic 19th century features, the couple were thrilled to find a traditional Swedish tiled stove dating from 1884
for sale, which they bought and installed in the living room (above right) to create a pretty and practical focal point. “It still works and is used on
a daily basis from November to April,” says Mari. GARDEN The mum-of-two arranges apple blossom picked from the tree (below left). >
