[ad-includes gifts] Home is Safe Vulnerable An oasis A place to recharge and unplug A place to be truly authentic An escape from the outside world A place for resting and naked time A place to gather those you love A place to eat cake To hang with pets A place to build memories and to build future wealth Home provides belonging Identity Privacy It is a reflection of YOU. I feel incredibly lucky to have the means to create such a ‘me’ home, and although I was scared shittless when I moved back in because I felt totally identity-less, I am now very comfortable here. Art is a key element in bringing a house together. I’ve still got buckets of empty wall space but I’m not making the same mistake I did 10 years ago when I first moved in and loaded up the gaff with cheap clutter. I want to live here and gradually add. I don’t think a home is ever really ‘finished’. Ours is definitely far from finished. Anyway this is one of the most special pieces in our home by @brittyflynn . She is the coolest Australian artist and I have admired her from afar for a very long time. She kindly commissioned this painting for our kitchen which includes a tablescape of some of my favourite things. Feat. - Cigars for Ryan - Our red wine and 2016 the year we met - Pooch collars with our pets names - Lemon Meringue Pie (We are both nuts for all lemon puddings) - A ‘Leo’ mason and Pearson hairbrush - A pill pot as a modern/jovial take on the hellish medical journey I’ve battled - A lobster because who is gauche enough to order one on every holiday... my greedy family - Blue hydrangeas are my favourite flower ... and I love pink! I’ve included a few other fun tagged items! And look how grown up Leo is I can’t believe he’s already 7 months. I wish I was as flexible as he is (slide 3 look at his toes 🫶🏼) #brittyflynn #leo #personalisedbabygift #lemonmeringue #babyboy #7monthsold #xylophone #dailysleeper #blondebaby #masonandpearson #lobster #tablescape
