Sara One Day {let’s go visit}
Hello there! I am sure you all are ready for an inspiring visit to somewhere new and afar! Well, I have got just the place…it’s cozy, warm, bright & cheery, creative, and organized. Today we are traveling to Australia to visit the sweet home of Sara Walker. I love the eclectic flare of Saras home. You can really tell that she treasures every piece she collects to adorn her space through her mini vignettes and within her photographs; and i could see myself curling up with a good book and some herbal tea surrounded by such lovely cushions and pillows that she fills her couch with!
Enjoy your visit and if you would like to see more of Sara’s home, then be sure to visit her flickr sets.
Who: Sara of Sara One Day
Where: Our house is a tiny two bedroom 100 year old brick and iron cottage. It is located in the centre of a small city, on the coast in regional Western Australia. We walk to the shops and bars and I’m even lucky enough to be able to walk to work.
Her Decorating Style: I guess is eclectic, junk-shop beachy! My home is a mix of hand me downs, roadside/tip finds, and vintage gifts with a few new bits and pieces.
Decor Inspiration: Colour is my biggest inspiration when decorating my home. I tend to start with the basic necessities of the room and then add all the personal loved bits to it in complimentary colours.
Biggest Decor Challenge: fitting everything in to our small home! – I’m such a hoarder and have to constantly edit each room to make sure it doesn’t get too cluttered.
Favorite Room: My favourite room is the lounge room, especially in winter when we have the fire lit. I try and keep this one tidy and organized, even when the rest of the house is a shambles, at least then we have a nice space to relax and entertain while we are reorganizing other rooms. My favourite places to find things for my home are second hand and antique shops, the side of the road, demolition sites, old farms. I love old rusty bits of metal and weathered wood.
Thanks Sara for having us over, we enjoyed your hospitality!
