I’m so excited to announce our Modern Farmhouse edition is at the printers! Because I’m impatient, here’s a little sneak peek look inside this Autumn issue.

The themes I work on for each issue of Adore are nearly always a reflection of my life at that time, and this issue is no different. I’ve been longing for more space, for nature and fresh mountain air, and I can hear the country calling my name. A tree-change might be on the cards for us this year, and with that possibility has come a growing fascination with modern farmhouse-style homes.

This issue, we’re touring three homes that each approach farmhouse style differently. I was fortunate enough to visit each home with my partner who also is Adore’s main photographer. I love touring homes in person, meeting the home owners is always nice and to chat about their home story, whether it’s a new build or renovation.

It’s funny how fire pits these days are now a necessity! I’m based in sunny Queensland, and even I have a fire pit! Although I have to confess, most the time it will be used as a conversation area - it’s way too hot to be thinking about sitting by a fire. But the idea of it is alluring isn’t it? Sitting around a fire at winter, roasting marshmallows and starting into the flames is good for the soul. I can’t wait for the weather to cool down so we can use ours. I’ve rounded up a few great fire pit areas in this edition - there’s lots of inspiration there if you’re looking to create a fire pit area of your own.

In this edition we also take a look at 10 kitchen ideas to consider for your next kitchen renovation/new build. Is it crazy that I’m already taking notes for my next kitchen? I think a move to the country might be on the cards this year…
