This Victorian cottage in Sydney gets its rustic charms from details like recycled doors and relaxed vibe from its tropical surroundings.
Taking work home also allows homeowner, Marnie Skillings, a fashion designer, to lend a personal touch. For example by using left over textiles from previous collections for home items such as cushions or placing a form bust as decor in the study.

I’m a big fan of the nightstand in the bedroom… sigh
What a cool home! I love that the bathroom has an exit out to the backyard? That’s awesome.
This is the kind of place that you could walk in the door, kick off your shoes and feel immediately at ease! I could see myself with an ice cold beer relaxing on that little pink patio!
I love this little cottage. My favorite parts are the door with the white molding {?} in the first picture and the floral wallpaper in the second. I’d totally live there!
I love, love, love it – so cool. Unique and obviously filled with Marnie’s personality. Great find Santa. xxx
I love that they have so many vintage finds but it doesn’t look too busy or overwhelming. Love the Summery feeling.
