In our new series, My Favourite Room, I profile some of my favourite designers, stylists and individuals to get a glimpse into their home and find out what makes this room so special.
The first in the series features the dreamy nursery designed and styled by the lovely Hannah of Blonde and Bone. One of my favourite Instagram accounts to follow, Hannah styles her home with beautiful Scandinavian design influences. A graphic designer and marketer, Hannah also runs children’s print label, Frankie Says.
+ Where do you live?
We live in Whangarei, Northland which is roughly two hours North of Auckland. Both my husband and I grew up here and really enjoy the slow pace of life and huge selection of beaches Northland has to offer.
+ How long have you lived here?
We are currently renting an older style home which we have been in for two years. We have the perfect amount of country space here with a large backyard and native trees all around us. It really is a peaceful place to live!
+ What is your favourite room in your house?
As we are renting, the only room we have renovated ourselves is our daughters nursery.
+ What do you love about this space?
As much as I love how it looks it also means so much more than a beautiful appearance to me. It is a room full of memories, of stripping wallpaper and painting before she was born and long nights comforting a new baby too. Aside from all of the beautiful memories I have associated with that room, it is such a light, warm and a soft space for our little girl to call her own.
+ Describe Frankie’s room in three words
Simple, light and dreamy
+ How do you spend your days?
I work part time in a design studio, pre pregnancy I was a graphic designer but have now fallen into a graphic design/marketing hybrid role which I really enjoy. The rest of my time I spend working from home which is a mix of graphic design, room styling, product photography and blogging for various stores and labels. My most important job is being a mother to our 9 month old daughter Frankie so balancing work life with this has been something that has taken a while to get use to.
