Wicked White House

The clear standout in the latest Australian Vogue Living would have to be the feature on Lyn Gardener's country retreat. Swoon. Lyn is well known for her fabulous eclectic style and ability to turn 'trash to treasure'. Emma has featured her place before over at White and Wonder (she has an exam next week but fingers and toes crossed she is back posting soon after (no pressure Emmy)....).

You can share in some of Lyn's style at her fabulous store, Empire Vintage.
"The White House" in Daylesford Victoria is described by Lyn as "Part industrial, a bit New York, a bit black and white - it's a look I love". Well, snap Lyn - I love it too!

You can even stay at the White House, maybe one day!

See the latest July/Aug 2009 issue of Vogue Living for all the beautiful details and make sure you visit the website - LOVE the styling of the website and it is where I found all the images seen above.

loving the bathroom, but I hope the scales are just props....having the numbers up in your face is a bit too much for me!

Have seen these photos already on the weekend and nearly died! She is my idol! And do you know that our local pub, fittingly called 'The Local' was also designed by her?
