As the editor-in-chief of Australia’s premium homewares magazine, I have to sift through all of the lovely things that come across my desk, try them out and discern which ones I think you’d love to see on the pages of Home Beautiful.

I can’t help but share a few of my favourite things – I’ll be adding them to my wishlist!
