  • Realised today I haven't shared a lot of my recent photography work, especially one of my favourite shoots for @wildflorastudio and @jonimaflowers of their 'Field to Table' floral workshop and farm tour last month. There was such an abundance of beauty I literally couldn't stop taking photos! Truthfully my job is easy when you have a beautiful backdrop like Jonima farm, masses of incredible blooms, lots of gorgeous & willing subjects and a beautiful lunch set-up under the gum trees, including a very Aussie way to serve up food... on the back of two @johndeere Gators! Have a swipe to see what I'm talking about! 👌🏼#canonaustralia #deeresighting
  • It's an icy, cold Monday here in the #southernhighlandsnsw but my little girl and I are rugged up on the sofa, in front of the fire, watching movies and sipping on hot chocolates, because we're both a bit under the weather today. Unfortunately a 1 year old mini-cyclone of destruction is about to wake up and disrupt our peace & quite! This bedroom scene above is at the beautiful @capekidnappers in #hawkesbay #newzealand... where I wish I could transport myself back to today, san kids, to sleep-in until noon! #capekidnappers #relaischateaux #cottonwoodtravels
  • Sorry for the lack of posts on here lately, friends. Been lots going on (photo shoots, kids, house stuff, events & gatherings etc) and sometimes I just like having a bit of a social media hiatus. A technology holiday, of sorts! We’re now well and truly into winter here (top of 10 degrees today, despite the sunshine outside fooling us!) and the garden is going into hibernation (very last of my roses are on the way out but gee they have just bloomed all spring, summer and autumn! #roseconvert). I’ll share a little of what I’ve been up to the past few weeks on my stories, including some photos shoots I’ve done. Hope you all have a beautiful weekend planned?! Nicki xx #canonaustralia
  • Since I was supposed to be in Denmark this weekend for @christinagreve’s flower styling & photography workshop (insert sigh 😔), I thought I’d commiserate that I couldn’t be there with a bit of #inspiration from #Denmark via the @decor.demon blog and photo by @jonas_lundberg_photography 🌿 This simple, understated and chic entry belongs to a transformed 18th century farmhouse in Odense, Denmark and I just love those beautiful white walls, gorgeous checkerboard floor, touch of greenery and of course, all the light emanating through those beautiful windows and front door! My kind of entry 👌🏼 Hopefully I can make the workshop later in the year Christina!! 🤞🏼 @christinagreve xx
  • I’m still coming down off a massive high from the #royalwedding - everything from magnificent Meghan, handsome Harry, the extraordinary inclusive and personal service, right down to the dress, the guests and of course all the exquisite flowers 😮. I mean, wow! And the fun of having my own little royal wedding party to celebrate it! These flowers above aren’t royal, but they were created by the very, very talented @wildflorastudio at the recent field to table floral workshop @jonimaflowers 🌸 More flowers at their beautiful farm than at the royal wedding, I can assure you! Did you all catch the wedding? Who stayed up too late or got up too early just to watch it? #countryliving #floralarrangement
  • I shared our messy house the other night on my stories (how it is most days) but this is how it looks when we have an open house! Unfortunately the joy lasts about 15 minutes and in fact, during the time it took for me to video this, a certain little munchkin was smooshing peanut butter down the side of the island bench. 😣 My fault for giving him a peanut butter sandwich so I can’t say I don’t deserve it! 🙄😆 It is a gorgeous Autumn day out there though, so that’s something! #home #southernhighlands

Scandinavian style with Slettvoll

There is something intensely appealing to me about Scandinavian interiors and design and below is the perfect example of why. Scandinavian interiors are uncluttered, functional and elegant, often favouring a colour foundation of white (or variations READ MORE

You can probably guess that I favour a casual dining space over a more formal one and this gorgeous dining setting below, courtesy of Norwegian furniture company Slettvoll (see my post on Slettvoll here), is exactly the reason why. It's an utterly READ MORE

I don't know about you but I have a serious love affair with a big time famous Hollywood film maker, Writer and Director. And it's not who you might think. Or, maybe it is! I have been a huge fan (quite the understatement!) of writer/director, Nancy READ MORE

Touch of Gold

I am loving the simple tones and gold touches in this beautifully formal living room. I am starting to think gold is the new black - every room needs a touch of it somewhere. I do love black touches but there is something very formal, elegant and READ MORE
