It's about time I took you on another amazing home tour. OK, so we did one a couple of days ago, but before that, my last one was in October, and it is my favourite kind of post. I love everything about this home, which belongs to Naomi Stein - I love her bold use of colour and pattern, I love the stories about her pieces, and I love her mix of modern and vintage.
Naomi owns a boutique construction firm, Design Manifest, with her Dad. During the day she designs other people's homes. So to be able to design her own home completely for herself, no boyfriend or flatmate to consider, meant she could push the boundaries and get really adventurous. And although her 'modern bohemian glamour' style looks expensive, Naomi actually pulled it all together on a modest budget - you go girl!

Naomi won this vintage bar cart at an auction for $150! She commissioned the painting by Nicole of Sketch 42 as a moving in present to herself, so she could always remember her new beginning. |
Naomi likes to change her cushions out seasonally. To make it a cost-effective activity she shops discount fabric outlets and sews the covers herself. |
The mini Singer belonged to Naomi's great-grandmother, and the David bust was from a thrift store. It's great to have pieces on show that are sentimental and tell a story. |
The cheapest room was the bedroom. Naomi's sister scored the headboard from an Urban Outfitters sample sale. The bedspread was a gift from her Mum. The pillows are from Naomi's friend Caitlin Wilson. And she won the Marilyn artwork in a Cozamia giveaway! |
