Real Living Australia – August 2019

COFFEE AND MAGAZINES go together like marble and

brass. Navy and white. Cheese and wine (more on that

later). So when we got the opportunity to partner with

Nescafé to launch their new Gold range of coffees and

flavoured mixers this month, we couldn’t say no! You see,

this is real living’s annual Hot List issue, where we reveal

101 of the coolest new products, trends and spaces that

you need to know about, and Nescafé has kindly gilded

our cover in super-shiny gold to celebrate both occasions.

Our cover story is the home of hotter-than-hot illustrator,

author and creative director Garance Doré. If you haven’t

heard of her, check out her blog Wearedore.com – she’s

a big deal. She’s a fabulous French woman living in LA,

but her approach to decorating is one that us Aussies

can certainly identify with. Flip to p18 and take a look.

As I hinted earlier, this month we faced the question,

to brie, or not to brie? (Sorry, we can’t stop laughing at

that in the office.) Turn to p138 for our guide to matching

the perfect wines with lots of different cheeses. There’s

plenty of expert advice, so whether you’re hosting drinks

at your place or visiting a friend, you’ll be pairing like a pro!

Speaking of experts, our decorating story on p110 is

all about how to be brave and follow your instincts when

transforming the interior of your home, with advice from

mother-daughter duo and interior designers Robbie and

Phoebe Nicol. They summed up the decorating process

perfectly by saying there are no rules – it’s your home, so

you can do whatever you want! I couldn’t agree more.

Tick list There’s nothing

quite like a home abundant

in natural light... or a home

filled with timeless furniture.

Danielle Siggerud’s place

has both. See it on p34.
