Hi, I'm Nicki

Mum, wife, interior designer and photographer living in spectacular Wanaka, on New Zealand's South Island. Here I share my work but also my love for all things home, entertaining, renovating, cooking (mostly low carb these days), and creating beautiful moments whilst capturing it all on camera. I hope being here fills you with new ideas, creativity, joy, and most of all inspires you to live a beautiful life.

The most amazing and utterly spectacular night last night @lumaqueenstown 🌈 ✨ Seriously one of the most outstanding light festivals I’ve ever seen (also included a lot of music & sound) and every single one of us were blown away. Runs until the 5th June at Queenstown Gardens. Highly recommend! #luma23 #lumaqueenstown #lumaqueenstown2023 #queenstownlive #queenstown #queenstownnz #wanaka #southislandnz

Winter’s arrived right on cue here on the South Island NZ tonight (big storm outside right now) so only one thing to do and that’s make slow cooked lamb ragu! One of my absolute favourite cold weather dishes 🥰 I’m making a double batch tonight for friends m, and to freeze for the nights I don’t feel like cooking. Recipe available on my website - just search up “lamb ragu” - but a little goes a long way with this ragu as it’s pretty hearty & intensely flavoured. #lambragu

Friday late afternoon glow ✨ That low, golden, autumn sun twinkling through the last of the autumn leaves is quite magical so I just had to capture it this evening. I’ll always be a sunset girl 🕯️ #wanaka

She’s pretty cold and icy outside today… and only marginally warmer in my little studio 🥶🕯️🍂 Can feel the snow on the way. Autumn always feels far too fleeting for my liking. Loving my beautiful new table cover using Scottish linen from @caroline_inchyra #interiordesignstudio #wanaka
