Eichardt's Boutique Hotel, Queenstown

Hello there! Finally after many, many months away from Haven Home & Style, I'm back. I've been enjoying a few months off, and it's been a wondeful time to spend more time doing the things I enjoy not just tasks than need to be done! More time with family, friends, discovering new places, gorgeous new retail spaces & cafes, & generally just appreciating simple pleasures in day to day living without always working to timeframes and schedules.

I've loved connecting with new friends, and reconnecting with dear friends that mutually, we never have enough time to really catch up. I have loved spending more time at home, nurturing both family & our home life, having fun reorganising corners & spaces with flowers & candles, & of course always spending a moment or two doing a bit of 'remerchandising here & there". With that has come the joy of indulging in one of my great loves, magazines and design books, & reading. Coffee & wine are the perfect compliment to all of the above & although I have not been sharing my finds on my blog, I am loving sharing when I catch up with friends - new books, places to travel, weekend getaways, the latest cafes & best coffee, new season's collections, & so many more things to enjoy & I'm sure I'm all the better for it.

Alors, I'm learning French & having a ball! Investing more time in my favourite blog posts every week has brought me continued inspiration, particularly all things en francais! I love Vicki Archer's beautiful blog French Essence, www.vickiarcher.com - don't we all?!), Jane Webster's latest title, "French Ties, Love, Life & Recipes" & Janelle McCulloch's "Paris, A guide to the city's creative heart", & I collectively thank all of these fabulous women for inspiring me to study the beauty of the french language again.

I have reconnected with old friends from New Zealand, and in doing so, I am planning a return trip to one of my favourite boutique hotels, Eichardt's Hotel, situated in Queenstown on the waterfront of Lake Wakatipu, & it's absolutely sublime. The interior is by renowned New Zealand Interior Designer Virginia Fisher, & I'm sure you'll agree, the interiors are divine. Luxurious textures & rich colour palettes, complimented by unique, one off pieces, collectively make Eichardt's a warm & sophisticated interior.

Antique Heaven in a Hamptons Haven

Renowned antique dealers, Zoe Hoare (Appley Hoare Antiques) & Chris Mead (English Country Antiques) have created a beautiful home of this 1740's 'saltbox' cottage in the Hamptons, (built from the hulls of an old ship). With a fresh interior palette of white replacing the once dark & dingy space, & the proximity to the Ocean view, they have created a relaxed & charming haven full of their much loved antique finds & unique pieces. Every room is a story in itself with character & charm aplenty. I adore the gravel driveway, complete with the 1950s Schwinn 'Typhoon' Bicycles (discovered at a local antique fair) & my favourite of all, the divine hedge of white hydrangeas...just what I've planted in my front garden, I hope they look like this!

Coastal Living, Global Style.

Last week I spent a wonderful few days on the peninsula, amidst the sunshine & the sea air without time restraints or must do diary entries, heaven! I enjoyed coffees at leisure, walks along the beach, magazines & movies anytime of the day, & of course visiting Sorrento shopping Village, how much it has changed since Summer! New stores & cafes to sample & enjoy (Two Sisters is fabulous!), & it was fantastic to see such energy & activity mid-week & out of holiday season, but Sorrento is always a favourite regardless of the season.

One of my much loved stores is Coastal Living, & after closing briefly in July for renovations, it has reopened with a beautiful new space, fresh, uncluttered, exciting & just divine. Ross Nichols & his team have created the perfect ambience to showcase this beautiful new look, with ideas, pieces, touches & style for coastal, city & country interiors, for bed, bath & living. This is what I refer to as the retail experience, with delightful staff, space, gorgeous merchandising & excellent service.

If you're looking to renovate, decorate or wanting to invest in key piece furnishings, I would also highly recommend you visit their stunning showroom in Boneo Road, Rosebud.

Coastal Living: Sorrento & Rosebud, both open 7 days.
