artist nicola hensel’s home in country style…
Posted in artists, australia, interiors April 19th, 2011 by pia

There is a fabulous article in the april issue of australian country style magazine about artists Nicola Hensel and John Turier’s weatherboard cottage. Have you seen it? I’m enamoured…

This is a home with heart, filled with treasures found, foraged, and made by hand. Incredible art line the walls, vintage rugs are strewn across the floors, and an old piano is played everyday. Nicola’s niece once said that the house was like a giant cubby. I think that’s rather wonderful…

The full story is delightful, if you can get a copy of the april issue, you’ll love it. You can also see more photos and read a bit more about Nicola and John online right here. The photographs are by Sharyn Cairns, who I recently had the pleasure of working with, more about that amazing experience in a post to come.

I’m inspired.

    I love it, my kind of space. Although I love white minimalist, it’s not for me. I’m too eclectic. My Gran was and very artsy, my sister is and I am. What a dear weather-board house.

    I really love the idea of treasures in a home…but I don’t know why something about this space makes me a little depressed…perhaps that yellow…hmm. But I do appreciate it for it’s charm. F x

    […] I love how original this is. It feels so personal and with just enough of the quirky factor that I’m looking for. The art is arranged unexpectedly, and clearly this homeowner agrees with me that you can never have too many bud vases.
