Beach Vintage in the Weekly

Simone looked beautiful on the day in her Lazybones dress.
Here is the opening page of the article.
Its a shame Simone's sewing room didn't make it - its interesting to see where she works!
The whole house is so light and open - perfect for such a warm climate.
Love the rustic, shabby chic look at the beach.


Just out today is the Christmas issue of the Australian Womens Weekly with a story we did on Simone at Beach Vintage. What a dynamo and terrific girl is that Simone!
Simone's beautiful waterfront home is in a part of Queensland I had never been before called the Redland Shire between Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Like many of you I have been a follower of Beach Vintage since I discovered blogging and walking around her house, everything seemed so familiar. Meeting the people who own these inspiring places is always such a pleasure.
As usual, as there is never enough room to publish all the photos we like, so here are some more.
The Weekly have done a lovely job with the story and its a thrill for me too to be contributing to such an Australian icon.

  2. I haven't bought myself the Women's Weekly before ever (if I read it it's given to me second-hand from my mother-in-law) but this issue is one I'm going to grab today. I adore Simone and Beach Vintage. Yes, I also discovered Simone's blog early on and she's done nothing but keep me inspired along the way. She's also a wonderful communicator, always popping by and making a comment. I don't know how she does it but that's what makes her the success she is today. Thanks for including the extra shots. Her house is amazing and yep, her workspace is divine! Pruxxx
