Get That Look #2


Credit: www.homelife.com.au

If you are anything like me, then you are still experiencing some serious heart pain from the death of Patrick Reid in Australia's most loved drama series Offspring. I must admit that during the latest episode I used many many tissues and had to re-apply my make up afterwards, and I am sure that I am not alone! So to honour Patrick I have decided to do another 'Get That Look' feature on the interiors of offspring. This time I will be featuring Geraldine Proudman's house (as I have already featured Nina & Patrick's abode) and all of its quirky personality.

Now as you may know, Geraldine has a very loud and bohemian personality and this is directly reflected in her home. As a retired architect Geraldine has only slightly modified her gorgeous Melbourne heritage home to include large windows in the living/kitchen areas which brings lots of natural light into the home and brings a glowing look to the yellow walls of her living areas. The walls are aged and chipped with mementos and photos taped in eclectic arrangements around the room and the floors are covered in vintage carpets. Geraldine has embraced the 'organised chaos' style of living, with piles of books and crockery spread across her living and kitchen areas and has brought the outside in with various pot plants in and around the windows.

If you would like to achieve this look in your own home then I am here to help! The following post will share with you some carefully selected upcycled/reclaimed/handmade products that will have you on your way to having a delicious bohemian home like Geraldine's.
