In early 2020, interior stylist Emma O’Meara, her husband Simon, and their young kids were gearing up for an eagerly anticipated family trip to Italy. I think you know the end of this story.
But the cancelled holiday presented Emma and Simon with the opportunity to purchase their very own getaway – a log cabin in Johanna, a magical part of Southern Victoria in the Otways, where the beach and the bush meet. The family have undergone some DIY renovations to update the cabin, transforming it into a colourful short-term accommodation that stays true to its original style, and reflects its spectacular surrounds.
After frequently moving over the past 10 years, Ana Piteira and Jonathan McFarlane went in search for a longer-term place to call home. They found it in this Coogee home, which they’ve been decorating ever since.
Step inside and you’ll find a suite of curvaceous new and vintage furniture pieces, set amongst a punchy colour palette. Complementing the entire scheme are items from Ana’s home, accessories and clothing labels Reliquia Jewellery, Blanca Studio, Valet Studio, Aeyre Home and Respiro, all encompassed under her company, Reliquia Collective!
