Cover story

Capture the romance of a country-cottage lifestyle by combining one-of-a-kind

second-hand furniture with this season’s vintage-inspired homewares. To keep the look soft and inviting, think about mixing fresh neutrals, crisp linens and antique-style whites against the earthy tones of rustic wares. Embrace the farmhouse aesthetic and bring elements of a cottage garden indoors – an overhanging wild fl oral arrangement in classic greens sets the mood of this welcoming table setting, laid out for a casual, yet chic, feast.

Story and Styling by Tim Neve Photography by Johan Palsson

Auld & GreyWe shot this month’s cover at Auld & Grey 20th Century Antiques in Newcastle. Jennifer Auld scours second-hand shops, roadside markets and old farms throughout regional New South Wales to discover country-style furniture that evokes a sense of rustic charm. Restoring and displaying her wares in a cavernous vintage emporium she calls Auld & Grey, the space is fi lled to the rafters with beautifully aged pieces such as rocking horses, gardening tools and church pews. All the items are chosen with Jennifer’s eye for the country-inspired and pre-loved, although she does admit, “I fi nd it hard to sell my pieces as I fall in love with so much of what I fi nd.”

Get the lookDiscover one-of-a-kind furniture that tells the story of country days of yesteryear. Rustic iron garden chairs, $160 each; vintage workshop table, $750; and antique ladder, $85, all from Auld & Grey.

RIGHT: These stunning serving pieces look like vintage porcelain, but are actually lightweight melamine, with

prices to match. Diamond Range – small coupe, $11.95; large coupe, $16.95; goblet, $10.95, all from Domayne.

White bird fi gurine, $11.95, from Shabby Sheilas.
