EXTERIOR Proudly in place since the home was built in 1901, the ‘Mayfield’ plaque at the front door (top left) announces
the farmhouse’s rich history. LIVING ROOM Nestled behind the sofa in the living room (top right), a bench seat serves
as the perfect nook for Linda (pictured) to curl up with a cup of tea and gaze out at the view. Upholstered in grey ticking
(try the Ticking Stripe Cotton Home Decor Fabric in Grey from fabrictraders.com.au), it continues the home’s restful colour
palette. MUDROOM Linda has styled her laundry/mudroom (above left) with a mix of vintage pieces. The artwork sitting
on the high shelf is by her mother, Julie Pethard, while a dairy cream can from Dirty Janes in Bowral pays homage to her
home’s history and landscape. “I bought it as a tribute to the dairy country that surrounds us,” explains the homeowner.
DINING ROOM DETAIL The black-and-white photographic print of a Boston terrier that sits above the mantle was
a gift from a friend (above right), and it reminds Linda and Mark of their dog, Scout (pictured opposite).
