Restaurant Style - with a View

Its always great to see inspiration close to home in my little part of the South Coast.
Local Berry restrauteurs, Dave and Nicole Campbell have opened Wharf Rd in the old boatshed overlooking the Shoalhaven River and bridge. (Dave owns Hungry Deck in Berry and worked with Tetsuya in Sydney.
The interiors were done with the help of local designer Bec Riles, my former neighbour, who now owns Roots and Wings boutique in Berry.
The Campbells have refurbished the entire building,  adding some seaside chic with the blonde wood and white nautical-inspired fit out.
I believe the food isn't bad, either!
If you live in Sydney, Canberra or the Highlands, why not book a weekend away in one of our beachfront houses - and enjoy a night out at Wharf Rd?

Beach House inspiration revisited

This house is not actually a beach house but a ranch in Texas by Ginger Barber (House Beautiful). Nevertheless, I really love its style- I think its a perfect fit for the beach, country or city for that matter. I posted some of these photos a while back and it has been one of my most popular posts.

I came across it again while looking for stone fireplaces as I have a pile of huge sandstone blocks ready to be cut. I also am planning some detail for a screened porch which is yet to be built, so this place really has it all for me!
