The internet is a funny thing isn’t it. I love it how you can ‘meet’ all sorts of people without really ever ‘meeting’ them, yet at the same time know so much about them. One such talented person is Charlotte Minty. She is a New Zealand based interior designer who has a fabulous interiors blog […]

Curiosity is a funny thing isn’t it.  I have received a few emails recently from people curious as to what the inside of our caravan looks like. I can understand this fascination of wanting to know more; I always want to know what people have inside their handbags or what is inside their desk drawers… […]

©Kara Rosenlund I think being January organisation is on the top of a few people’s lists to help them simplify their year ahead. I know it is for me. I am currently in the midst of doing some tax related organisation for Travelling Wares; which I must admit I have been easily distracted from….. I […]

Rain is pouring down as I write this post, which means for the second day our progress here has come to a halt on our dining room extension. Impatient as I am, the halt in progress is ok, as there has been plenty of daydreaming done on that bentwood chair, cup of tea in hand…. […]

You can tell that the creatives and copywriters behind these vintage posters […]

We sure did, though me being me I spent a lot of time zipping around in all directions fossicking new treasures for the Travelling Wares Market. There are some exciting bits to be found on Saturday! Hope to see you […]

I have just driven back from a very very quick trip up to the Central Ranges of Queensland (18 hours spent entirely in the car). I love a road trip, I think I would of made a good truck driver; for me it is all about seeing the unknown and taking inspiration from the smallest […]

Here are a few of my reference images for our dining room extension. Obviously we aren’t at the decorating phase yet (refer to scary yesterday’s post), however you always need your inspiration and visuals close at hand. Most importantly you need to know how you want to live in your space.  I know that this […]
