Feature Friday: a tropical seaside home in Sydney's northern suburbs

Wow, what an exciting week it has been. I was beyond excited to launch my brand spanking new etsy store and giveaway this week. Your support and kind words over on social media have not gone unnoticed, thank you lovely readers! I hope your week has been just as wonderful!

For Feature Friday this week I am bringing you a Sydney seaside home which I came across here on Houzz. White, tropical prints, timber accents and texture is what I love about this home. Wouldn't you love to call this place home?

GIVEAWAY // A boho, Sea Gypsy dreamcatcher by Glamour Coastal Living

B O H O // C O A S T A L // S E A G Y P S Y // D R E A M C A T C H ER

Inspired by the classic Native American dreamcatchers, Glamour Coastal Living has created a bohemian, coastal, glamorous approach to the dreamcatcher and they are available for sale! I initially made one for my bedroom, to add a pop of texture to as it featured a drfitwood hanger, timber, sea shells, leather, feathers, wooden beads and crochet. After gifting some to friends and family I wanted to spread the boho, coastal, sea gypsy love even further, so I have created a Etsy store, where you can buy and join the Glamour Coastal Living tribe!

The dreamcatchers are designed to bring you a touch of boho, coastal glam to your home and give you the sweetest of dreams. All dreamcatchers created are one of a kind and unique and made by me on the Gold Coast. Please pop over and have a look at my new store and let me know what you think of the creations!

Taking Stock - the month of October

  The month of October through the eyes of Instagram

The months are flying by aren't they? Eight weeks until Christmas - please don't remind me! I love taking a look at each month through the eyes of Instagram and this month, I thought I would do something a little more different. Once again, this post features my month of October Instagram pictures but I also thought I would join in on Taking Stock, by Pip at Meet Me At Mikes this month. Pip shares what she calls 'Taking Stock', a great way to snapshot where you are, who you are spending time with and how you are feeling via the list below.

I thought it would be a unique way to capture life at this given point and give me some time to reflect on the month that was October. 

Feature Friday: A Timber Home at Lorne

Last week for Feature Friday I brought you an amazing renovated beach house on Victoria's Great Ocean Road coastline. Curious to see the design and style of homes along this stretch of coast I was trawling through real estate and came across this home. I loved its unique timber design, its easterly aspect that takes in a spectacular sweep of sea, sky and surf coastline. I loved that nothing comes between you and the view with this home. 

The home is a three bedroom, two bathroom and was designed by an architect to enjoy the ocean views. The full height windows, brick feature walls, stone fireplace and reclaimed timber is what drew me in. This shot of the living area is my favourite...

Boho inspired hair for Summer

One of my favourite ways to wear my hair is tousled curls with a side braid.

It is the perfect way to manage my long, wavy hair.

Discovering a heritage home on my weekend in the country

Well today marks my 100th blog post. It's a kinda happy moment, I mean 100 is a pretty good milestone right? So just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for following along my Glamour Coastal journey and being a part of the tribe! Last week I wrote a little 'about me' post for the new followers to see who is behind it all.

Last week was a busy one. I was working with the lovely Melissah from Coastal Style to bring you a beautiful beach house that I have decided is my dream home...white, timber, ocean views, high ceilings. Oh its a stunner, from all of your facebook posts I think you like it too! You can see what all the hype is about here. I worked on my Etsy store, which I launched today and then I packed up the car for a roadtrip. I love roadtrips, there is something about the sing-a-longs, the endless conversations and that wide open road...

We (Hubby, Coopar our four legged fur baby and I) drove six hours south west from the sunny Gold Coast, heading for the Thunderbolt region west of Armidale. I spent a weekend visiting my Father's farm and catching up. It is such a contrast to see open plains, endless rolling hills, paddocks full of cattle and sheep and to hear the kookaburras calling in the distance. The weather was hot, the air was dry and there were so many flies!!

One of the highlights of the weekend was exploring a homestead that my Father has been renovating on a neighbouring property (see renovating and DIY is in my genes!). This home stood in the middle of a 800 thousand acre property, surrounded by endless paddocks and cattle. As we drove up to it, you could see the cute white weatherboard shed, the old brick toilet and old machinery lying in the grass....

Feature Friday: A beach house at Angelsea on The Great Ocean Road

This home is my dream home. 

The moment I saw this home, I fell in love with it. From the natural light, to the colour palette, the ocean views and the orchard in the garden, this home is simply stunning! 

Today I am beyond excited to be featuring this home as today's Feature Friday post. I shared a snippet with you last week on Facebook and the response was great - you all wanted to see more! So today I am doing just that. Here is some background and the story behind this beautiful beach house that sits at Angelsea at the beginning of The Great Ocean Road on Victoria's stunning coastline...
