This morning, I’ve woken up in Bodø, North of the Arctic Circle. It’s flanked by spectacular mountains, deep fjords and the North Sea, which gleam under the midnight sun – which won’t set again for three months. It’s an awe-inspiring part of the world (do follow along on my instagram stories if you’d like to follow my journey!). Meanwhile, in the land down under, our Aussie friends are inching towards winter – which is one of the crazy things about our magnificent planet. As they say: the only constant in nature is change.
And today, I’ve got a beautiful 19th century cottage in Daylesford, Australia to share with you. Captured by Marnie Hawson, The Station House it is set in 3 acres of land and was built around 1853 making it one of the oldest houses in Daylesford. A few years ago, it fell into the hands of talented Theresa Albiloi who has renovated it to perfection! Walls were torn down to create an open-plan living space and the cottage was transformed to include five bedrooms and three bathrooms, all of which are full of vintage picked up locally at Mill Market.
Ready to feel inspired?
It’s the bathroom that does it for me. The vintage bath and stain-glass window – wow! I’d also be perfectly happy to sit and look out over the fields and relax too.
Is there anything that caught your eye about The Station House?

Marnie Hawson has a knack for finding the most incredible properties – here are a few other houses she has photographed in recent years:
Right kompisar, I’d better get ready for my day out in Bodø – I’ve got lots of research to do for the magazine article and hoping to fit in a hike in the mountains tomorrow. Go, go, goooo! Luckily, the light is on my side for once!
Happy midweek friends.
