Affordable Style

I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas. This is the first chance I've had to spend any length of time at my computer, so I thought I'd post about one of my favourite things - a beautiful home with lots of gorgeous, eye-catching goodness. I will be a bit sporadic on the blog over the next couple of weeks, as this is quality family time for us (not often we have the hubby/dad home with us 24/7). Enjoy your holidays. xxx


The Danish home of Nina Brinch is constantly changing with all her new discoveries. Nina is proof that you don't need to spend a lot of money to have a stylish home. She frames beautiful magazine cut-outs, makes her own sculptural art by tying birch trunks together, and loves her collection of coloured vases that she found for $5 each.

Merry Christmas Beautiful People

I'm sorry I've been M.I.A. for a couple of days, and especially since my last post was very short & sweet (or not so sweet, as the case may be). Thank you so much for everyone who sent lovely, positive messages, both through the blog, by text & phone. Please be assured I am absolutely fine, and rearing to go for a lovely Christmas day tomorrow. In fact, the reason for my absence is the arrival of family, long lunches that led into evening bbqs, & general merriment.


2011 has been a huge year for me - the start of my blog, which then led to the opening of the Cush & Nooks store. I have enjoyed it immensely, and am humbled every day by the number of you wonderful people who grace me with your presence, and take an interest in my love of interior design and beautiful things. In between the Christmas celebrations I have also been unpacking a shipment of very exciting new product for Cush & Nooks. I will be letting you know more very soon. I hope you all have an amazing Christmas, and a well deserved break. I will be be taking a wee break myself, but will be back before you know it. Much Love, Vic xxx
