3 Instagram accounts Jen’s loving: September 2022

Remember the old school Follow Friday on Instagram (and even Twitter!)? How cool was that?! I thought I’d share some of my fave Instagram accounts with you here every month, kicking off today with three goodies!

70shousereno

I seriously cannot get enough of this Sydney reno account and if you haven’t discovered it yet, go follow immediately. It’s not actually a 70s house, it’s an Edwardian one, but the handle stems from their previous reno.

Chloe Brookeman (founder of kids’ brand Olli Ella) and husband Charlie are designing their family home (they have 5 gorgeous kiddos) in Coogee and it’s dreamy. Chloe has exquisite taste and there’s absolutely nothing cookie cutter or mainstream about the home but oh my goodness, I bet you’ll love it as much as I do!

If you want some unique interiors inspiration and someone who will make you want to do something a bit different too, you’re going to thank me. Chloe and Charlie, who happens to be super handy and does a lot of the work himself, keep things real too and are eminently likeable so you won’t hate them, even if you develop severe house envy!

Although if you don’t like wallpaper, patterned tiles or vintage finds, look away.

Gemma Peanut, co-host of the We Don’t Have Time for This podcast, photographer and influencer, is documenting the renovation of her newly purchased Cabarita Beach holiday home (which will be available to rent as well as used by her and her fam).

Gem and husband Matt

The plan is to transform it into a 1970s Palm Springs inspired fun house in just three weeks so WATCH THIS SPACE! Plenty of dopamine dressing has been promised and I’m loving the look of the kitchen to come!

If you’re an interior designer and you’re not already following Clare Le Roy then where have you been?! But, just in case…

Clare generously shares SO much knowledge to help you grow a profitable business for free (seriously, so much!), but you can also check out her popular SketchUp and other short courses.

You can thank me later!

Of course, make sure you’re following us on Instagram too!

My 5 favourite interiors insta-accounts this month (June 2020)

I’m back with this month’s five favourite interiors Instagram accounts to follow. I hope you love them, and find them as inspiring and enjoyable as I do!

Greenhouse Interiors I love following Greenhouse Interiors (Julia Green) for beautiful colourful interiors, discovering the amazing new artists she champions (who all seem to be delightful as well as talented!) and lots of fun watching her and her mum dancing around the kitchen on Stories! And I don’t need to mention how good her recent art tea towel collab with Rachel Castle is, do I?!

Indah Island If you love Hamptons interiors you HAVE to follow Natalee Bowen. She’s a Perth-based interior designer and host of TV show Open Homes Australia. She just completed the most incredible farmhouse reno. I met Natalee when we were lucky enough to go on a dream media trip to The Hamptons a couple of years ago. Her feed features pictures from her own projects as well as Hamptons inspo from around the world.

Georgia Ezra Most of my favourite accounts to follow are a combo of beautiful inspiration and real people, and Georgia is a great example of this! She’s a Melbourne interior designer and importer of the most incredible handmade tiles. But what I love most is her philosophy of what our homes should feel like. She has a very unique and beautiful, earthy style and I love the glimpses of her own home, her cooking and her gorgeous kids! I first met Georgia back in 2012 when she was designing cool perspex side tables! If you love all things Moroccan, you must follow Georgia!

By Rosie (OK, this one’s not interiors!) Rosie is a fellow Pom and a registered clinical nutritionist based in Queensland. I love her healthy (and straightforward) recipes and unrivalled knowledge of which foods are good for your body and why! And her photography’s lovely too. You can even book an online consultation if you need a little nutrition help.

Lynne Bradley Interiors I always love seeing Sydney interior designer Lynne’s latest projects, especially her kitchens and bathrooms with more than a touch of glam!

I hope you’ve discovered at least one new must-follow among these! I’d love to know who your favourites are too?
