It’s that time again…put your feet up…grab a cup of something yummy and chill out for a little bit as we take a trip down under to Awesome Australia and visit
Enjoy your Beach Cottage Home Tour
First…let’s meet Sarah!
A very lovely and oh so talented British born Australian. She is a photographer, blog editor and is amazingly talented as you are about to see as we take a peek into her world.
Sarah, her husband and 3 children moved from England to Sydney in 2008 and purchased a very neglected house and they have converted it into a beautiful, cozy, light and airy home.
You are going to want to pick up and come here for your vacation!
By the way…they have a new addition to the family…meet Barley!
Sarah’s blog is a gorgeous photographical journey of a beautiful cottage, food, photography, thrifting, styling and Australian life. Â I am so happy that she has opened her doors and hearts to us!
Let’s start with a little breakfast treat that Sarah has prepared…
Nutella and Strawberries with home made pancake…hope she made enough : )
Since we just enjoyed a lovely treat…I have to share the kitchen with you…
Clean and crisp…this room is perfect.
The open shelving in this kitchen is no short of amazing.
there is a very heavy Swedish influence in the styling of this room…
and for you vintage lovers and there are many of you…check out one of Sarah’s prized additions to the kitchen…a vintage
The open shelving continues and let me tell you…Sarah has this style mastered to an art form.
There is so much more to experience…so make sure to come back here for a second cup of coffee!
We can bring our coffee into the dining room with all of it’s nautical charm.
As in every room…the little touches are whimsical and wonderful.
Now it is time to visit the family room.
Comfy Cozy and plenty of style.
Loving the coffee table with the vintage chest for extra storage. A beautiful view also!
Come back and hang out later.
The living room is filled with such personality…it has the open beachy feel that follows you like a gentle Summer breeze.
Such attention to little details…you will find beautiful little vignettes throughout the entire home.
Here’s a vignette that I know that you will all swoon over!
I heard you : )
Dreamy whites and blues are calling you for a peaceful nights sleep…
You should also experience this
 beautiful room during the
Holiday Season.
What is it about blue polka dots that just steal my heart…how about you?
I have to take you over to the little beach house in the yard…it recently went through a gorgeous make-over and you are going to instantly fall in love with this little gem…I’m ready to move it!
The coastal vintage style is perfect…
little touches like a polka dotted bunting add so much charm…
you can almost feel tiny little grains of sand between your toes…
all the little touches just shine…
come and sit for a bit later and enjoy the entire transformation from start to finish : )
Would you like to enjoy some fresh air? How about hanging out in the beautiful Australian sun on the deck.
This deck is ever changing with the seasons…
and you must drop by to see this gorgeous blue mason jar deck display and a DIY!
There is just so much more to see here at
A Beach Cottage…DIY’s , seasonal decor, decorating inspirations, Australian Country Side, amazing photography, upcycling, furniture restoration, fabulous food and recipes, vignettes and so much more! My big suggestion to you is to go to the

Make sure you have a second and third cup with you…you are going to need it : )
Hope you had a SPLASHING good time!

amazing Austrailia…

Gorgeous home and gorgeous country 🙂
It makes me even prouder to be an Aussie.
This beach home is stunning and it feels homely and welcoming and not like a museum.
Ah! I can feel the sea breeze!

beautiful!!! and inspirational.
thanks so much for having me and what a lovely post 🙂
very very kind words on our little cottage
Sarah
Love all the clean looking white with soft color accents. Very serene. I didn’t need to see anything as I’ve always wanted to visit Australia for very long time. It is so lovely to see her home, what gracious hosts. How does she keep things so tidy with kids underfoot? I could be packed in about a half hour. Do ya think I could make it in my 2 man raft?
I had a client when I was a senior companion to a lady from Melbourne. She showed me a coffee table book with scenes from her home town which only whetted my appetite for seeing Australia even more. Now if I could only win PCH. Yeah right.
