Today we are escaping the grey London skies and enjoy this beautiful part of Australia called Shoal Bay. Hidden in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia and decorated with a stunning beach front.

And this exciting beach house is nestled in Port Stephens, only 2,5hrs North of Sydney.

It is the holiday home of Lauren and Michael, and their three daughters, Lillian, Evelyn, and Claudia. And it ticks all the beach bungalow sunny Oz boxes there are. But man, it is lovely. Seriously, why going nuts with the interior when the view is the main feature?

And since it is a holiday home, a pristine and tranquil environment is exactly what you are looking for to unwind and relax.

And, you know, whilst putting together this article and looking at the images, I am thinking about our dreams about a holiday home. It would be so lovely, but there are quite a few things to take into consideration (like good connections to airports for example) that we never went really far with them.

This modern beach house was built in the 1970’s and went through a 2 year renovation.

Lauren and Michael grew up in the area and finding this home brought back many memories. Memories they can now build with their own daughters too.

The panoramic views across Shoal Bay sold the house and are the core of everything that happened during the renovation.

The triple bunk bed is custom-built and the timber railings and ladder are made from Tasmanian oak.

Have you seen? There is a little shelf for every tiny person as well. So practical.

Feel like a trip to OZ now? There are great news – you can actually rent this property! Yes! And it has lots of space, beds and of course: one stunning view.

I think we all want to create the perfect space for our children. The place where they can play, dream, relax or read a book. So today I have some very inspirational play corners here for you. Some extremely creative spots, some a little more simple (still stunning!) or colourful.

Maybe you were already thinking about a DIY project and these ideas might be the little ‘push’ you needed to ahead…

But one thing is for sure – the children living in these homes must adore their creative play corners!

Bunk beds are great when you want to save space, be creative and create a cool play corner. They really tick a lot of boxes and as far as I know – kids love bunk beds! I love all the details in this room and how the bunk is actually a little room on its own.

Tone in tone and custom build. With a spectacular view and a little special nook for reading and relaxing. Lots of storage space and the natural light really makes it perfect. Find the rocking sheep.

So simple and yet so sweet. Love the big windows, minimal style and attention to details. Find the apple shaped house, moon shaped wall hanging or the lovely wooden doll house.

And another bunk bed that allows for a great play corner underneath. I love the natural theme in this room! Find the wooden doll house and rattan baskets.

And up again. Yes, up is the way to go. Because underneath you can arrange the cutest corners. Obviously the view, balcony and those open brick walls do help too… :)

Also check these playrooms for more inspiration or the chalkboard walls, because kids love those too!

Oh hello! I am back. You probably noticed that I took a tiny break, without a warning… but now we are back and I have a really smart family apartment for you today. It is Interior Tuesday after all and this small space accommodates three children.

Situated in the hip neighborhood of Södermalm in Stockholm. An old apartment with many preserved original features, beautiful windows and a lush, sunny courtyard to enjoy.

And of course I love this built in bunk bed that sleeps three children. Clever use of space!

The wall is covered in String shelves and desks and gives lots of storage  as well as work space. Have you spotted all the instruments? Probably a future musician living here…

What do you think? Maybe an inspiration for your own small space? I always love to get an idea on how to use space the best and see clever ideas like this…

Because everything is possible, even in the smallest spaces.

Hey, we arrived in France on Sunday late evening, settled yesterday and my ‘office’ is overlooking a beautiful rose garden. So hello from Brittany today! You can follow a bit of our time here, whenever I feel like, on my Instagram.

And right off to Australia we are. Because I want to share some kids rooms styled by the amazing Simone Haag.

An interior stylist who can transform any space into something so effortlessly and cool we all want. Spaces that look charming, light and well, just effortless. Like it was so easy to do and prepare. But you try that yourself and you will see that it is actually a very special talent!

That crib looks like it belongs just there, perfectly fitting in with the interior. And I love the gallery wall in the other room, great mix of prints, art and styles.
