Did you see it? My little home here in Auckland was featured in Design*Sponge’s Sneak Peeks. If you didn’t see it already, I invite you to pop over for the full house tour.
It was an experience bringing it all together, waiting for the sun to come out in what felt like the longest stretch of dark grey weather and then bribing the children to not dump their toys and cracker crumbs within frame. You’d think they’d be used to it by now? We got there in the end.
Of course I’d love to know what you think, after all, it’s not every day you get to be on Design*Sponge.

Oh Mel, what a fabulous home you have there. And what a treat to be featured on Design*Sponge! Particularly love your graphic artwork above the sofa, the mantel in your bedroom and the little bistro table with the marble top. Feel free to send that one my way any time, really. Gorgeousness! H x
Thanks Holly! Now I totally get what you do, it was a huge job to take the photos and prep the room – you’re my hero! M xx
