The Sustainable Dream pt 2

The Boys Bedroom... There are so many things to love in this space. From the stack of old suitcases
on the floor, to the beautiful wooden furniture, the globe on the wardrobe, and the
grass green floor rug to play on...

OK - Enough with the waiting for part 2 of our tour of Helen and Jon's amazing new home in the Megalong Valley. I'm back and I'm all ready to go... are you? Get your pen and paper ready to take style notes, as today we start in the boys bedroom, before heading upstairs to the second floor, which is just as light filled and warm as the downstairs...
Hope you enjoy...!
Let the tour resume...
Love this old map on the wall in the boys playroom...reminds me of all my primary school classrooms in the 1980s! And of course it is surrounded by toys galore!

The downstairs bathroom is at the end of the house so it sits on a corner...just
perfect for a corner bath to soak and stare in. I mean...look at the view! I would never get out!
Will at the computer playing games, while a massive pile of toys patiently waits to be played with!


The kitchen flowers....

The master bedroom on the loft-like second floor... Beautiful wooden furniture makes the space
warm and inviting and lived in! It definitely doesn't look like a new space does it? And again...
there are windows everywhere... and light!

The opposite wall... with a view of the hill... and a drawing by one of the kids just waiting to be
looked at!

The mantle... you can always get a good idea of someones personal taste by the objects they
display in their bedroom. Love the painting on the wall and all the natural materials...

The staircase and another great salon-hang of small paintings and drawings...

Love this space on the staircase. It is so quiet and unassuming, and yet there are some
amazing sculptures and objects... It looks like something you would find in Frida Kahlo's house...
 don't you think?

And finally a photo of Oddy and Minna on the red chair in the kitchen. Minna was reading the note
to us which was stuck on the wall. It said something like... 'when you are in the house, we must use our inside
voices...i.e. no shouting!' Love it...



Thank you Helen and all the family for letting me take these images of your lovely home.
It was so generous of you...
and I hope you all enjoyed the tour!
