Sponsored by Planet Ark's Make It Wood I'm a big believer that you can't go wrong when you use beautiful, solid timber in your home, whether it's a tabletop, furniture, bathroom vanity or floor. When I see beautiful timber, I just want to run my hand over it! I love that this durable, good-looking material comes from nature and never fails to …
In some ways, the modernist architectural period has never been more popular. Its design signatures (clean lines, open-plan layouts and fluidity between outdoor and indoor spaces) are certainly ever-present in contemporary Australian design, but a lot of us may be unaware as to how the movement began in this country.

For a flavourful crunch, add half a cup (75 g) of chopped pecans with the orange zest. Ingredients 1/2 cup (125 ml) plus 1 tbs. lukewarm milk 1 1/2 tsp. instant or active dry …
Given I Love Linen’s creative director Lauren Roe has recently moved from inner-city Melbourne to the lush Queensland hinterland, it’s a little ironic that her latest collection is full of moody hues.
