Your dad using all those terms of endearment for you literally melted my heart. Love how smiley he was the entire time! You could feel that it wasn't a chore for him but an opportunity to spend time with his family. Your mom is such a sweetheart too and I love how you never fail to compliment her ❤️ what a sweet family. (Also let me just say that I'm a huge fan of the bird light, no matter the room you use it in - but it looks incredible in this kitchen!)

Re: bird light - "Noah and I love it, that's all that matters" YES. It doesn't have to be my style, it's your home. Also I think it works better in your kitchen than in the living room, so A+ solution.

@Laura Brown I use these very shades and my mother-in-law's bedroom she liked black and white that's always been her colors and so I hung black curtains or drapes and then hung those white shades and tied them up a little bit just like she's done anyway my mother-in-law's bedroom came out beautiful and she was so surprised she had been on a trip and she did not know I was doing anything and I did another bedroom too her guest bedroom and it was the real light blues and greens and she had enough in the Attic that was perfect she had a painting one of her church members had given her that she put up there just because she changed some colors but all those things were like 20 years old so I didn't get rid of anything I just moved to move them into garbage bags and put them up in the attic and brought down the picture in the very very heavy cedar chest oh my gosh I did it by myself I wouldn't do that again for anything but I was much younger and you think you're invincible when you're young! Anyway my point was yes those look good and give it a farmhouse feel I think

The bird light haters are wrong; that light is super pretty! I'll agree that it didn't quite fit some of the spaces you've done before, but that's just a matter of personal taste, which doesn't take away from the beauty of the light. I think it looks right at home in this kitchen :)

This level of eclectic would drive me nuts, but it’s definitely in line with your style. The door is the ultimate showstopper and ties the kitchen to the living room, THAT door is the character of the house. The tile is beautiful. I personally couldn’t live with open shelving, but it’s certainly a great styling opportunity. The door is stunning. Question: the tile seems quite thick and the space between the wall and the stove quite narrow on camera. Did you measure if the thickness of the tile plus the binding material would fit or it’s not a close shave in reality and it’s only the camera deceiving my eyes?

Just Lovely Alexandra, I realised looking about my home and that of some of my friends (all old ladies/arty homemakers) that your aesthetic reaches towards that of the deep womanly homemaking where objects from the past, precious memorabilia, even humble things mixed with one's kids stuff on the fridge, and dried everlasting daisies from a picnic, and old photos, collected or self made paintings decorate the spaces. Your special skill is to make this aesthetic fresh and contemporary, and of course mostly you use new objects but still attempting the patina of a home long inhabited by several generations. It's all gorgeous and I am thrilled to watch your work here is Regional Australia, and am madly sending links to my grandchildren! It's very special to see your lovely crowd who work with you and your enthusiasm and generosity, with tasteful product placements well done!
