Renovated House in Australia

Hi, dears. Renovated after a gorgeous weekend? So is this house, though I guess it took more than a weekend to renovate. Here we go then to Melbourne to have a look at this Victorian House with interiors styled by Amanda-Henderson Marks.

Guesthouse in Australia

This red brick barn was built as a guesthouse behind an old miner’s cottage on the outskirts of Castlemaine in Victoria’s goldfields, Australia. Built and decorated by Daniel Burgermeister and Glenny Eastwood, they drew ideas from the surrounding architecture, as well as their regular travels to Europe.

Country Home in Australia

Today, we are going to Australia to visit Alice Barker and her husband Daniel's cottage, built around 1910 and located in Ballarat, Australia’s largest inland city.

Ceramics they bought in Morocco, Turkey and Thailand can be seen displayed in many of the rooms. Blue-and-white china jars and bowls are grouped on a hall table and on the kitchen mantel, while the dining room dresser displays floral patterned teacups and colourful Moroccan pottery. The fireplaces are original.

Alice and Daniel are both keen photographers. In the sitting room, vintage black-and-white photographs share the walls with images from their travels. One of Alice’s treasures, an old Kodak Brownie camera, is displayed on the mantel beside reproduction copies of 1920s postcards from Egypt on a wire stand.
