Country style

I eagerly await every month my copy of "Country Style" I loved reading the article on Michelle Fallon and Jason Gibaud's home in Mullumbimby (near Byron Bay) I especially love there verandah with the old claw foot bath, the candelarbra and the ornate mirror and a touch of greenery for privacy, this clever duo are designers of a gorgeous childrens label called (Paper Wings) giving up there careers in Film to raise their daughters in the country, Julie quotes, "Home is where the heart is. That's daggy sounding, but...all the money in the world wouldn't change my philosophy." I kind of like that saying too!

Judy welcome home!! I've missed your posts too! I'm still waiting for my mum to finish reading the latest country style before my turn. We have a deal that every month she buys CS and I buy Country Home Ideas magazine and after we've read through we swap. I wish she'd hurry up already lol.

That image of the children in the outdoor bath is heavenly! What an amazing idea. I was so excited to read this home is owned by the designers of Paper Wings. I was introduced to their website by Mz Shannon Fricke and I LOVE IT! I just wish they catered for older children as well.

Anna :)

p.s I'm going to email you about some wallpaper samples :)

Absolutely true - home is where the heart is. Sounds like you have had a wonderful vacation!

Wouldn't that bathtub be just perfect (with a down cushion inside of course!) for a nap on a hot, sweltering day?
