LA BOHÈME Brimming with exotic holiday style, a century-old farmer’s shack on the Central Coast, NSW, has a breathtaking new look and a redefined purpose. “The property was named Noonameena before we purchased it, which translates to a resting place in the bush. We wanted to create a space for family, friends, and guests to rest, relax and recharge,” says Nicole, pictured opposite, with dalmatian puppy Bruno and four of her and husband Marc’s five children: from left, Dominic, Valentina, Michaela, and Claudia. The ground-level verandah (below) provides a spot for breezy lounging, framed by a series of arched mirrors from One World Collection and vintage wall sconces from Lunatics. The daybed is made from reclaimed timber pallets with cushions from Great Outdoor Cushions and a vintage Persian rug (try Tribe Home for a similar rug).
