Omigod. Check me out! This was in Good Weekend on Saturday, and a few lovely readers who are not in Australia asked me to post it here… so here ya go! (Double click to make it bigger so you can read the words).
Big thanks to the super talented Lizette Bell for the very flattering photo (and I am convinced a little airbrushing…!?)
But mainly thankyou SO much to you guys for all your super sweet emails and comments over the weekend! I really appreciate your kind words and encouragement :) Am I the luckiest blogger in Melbourne or what!? x
I saw this yesterday, so exciting to see one of my favourite blogs in the age! And you're stunning!
Hey Congrats Lucy!
thanks for posting, missed this yesterday :)
Exciting! Well done. You look lovely :)
Congratulations Lucy! Great article and photo. :)
This is awesome Lucy. You look fantastic!!
I read about you yesterday – it was a great article and pic – good for you! Great to see bloggers in the mainstream too. Nic
well done you! i saw it and read it and I LOVE that chair!!! love it!!!
Congratulations!Im sorry to hear my comedy crush guy killed your Mixmaster – if its Ok, I will still love him a little from afar!!!
I will also love from afar your fabulous chair – which I think is totally worthy of moving house so it can be sat upon daily!
go lucy! i don't often buy the paper, but did this weekend & what a nice surprise to find you in there :)
Congrats Lucy! How exciting! Running around to my in-laws to read the real thing now. Such a great photo too!
Great article, thanks for posting it. It's nice to see what your lovely face looks like too (not sure if you have a pic on earlier posts?)
SUPER CUTE PIC MISS X
oh my goodness… THANKYOU so so much for all your sweet messages guys!
I really appreciate your kind words!
lots of love to you all!
ps) Camilla – I can't believe they mentioned Josh Lawson's name! Aggh! I didn't realise they would…! Anyway. I am sure he is in America being a daytime TV star and couldn't care less about my ramblings..!
you sure are! Great article, congratulations!
Congrats on the feature Lucy! Was a great read – honest and authentic – just like your blog.
I genuinely let out a little squeal when I did my GW catch-up this afternoon!
Great article and you look pretty much like what I imagined! (Which is a good thing! :) )
Congratulations Lucy! Nice to put a face to a name and to see bloggers getting some recognition for their (unpaid) work.

Agh ! the one weekend I didn't buy the paper! you are so cute Luce! Well Done : )
Fabulous article and gorgeous picture! Great story of the mixmaster, I'm so glad to hear it's ok now! Just love your blog, so inspiring!
Sophie
Congratulations Lucy!
You are going from strength to strength. It is so wonderful to see that all your efforts are paying off and consistently. It's well deserved.

Hi Lucy,
for some reason I assumed anyone who was able to work as a stylist during the day and interview inspiring people and photograph things, then blog about them weeks before everyone else, must not sleep -and therefore not look like you do. But you do.
Incredible.
And you even have time to bake!
Glad to see someone realised you're the one who should be interviewed!
Keep up the awesome work on TDF
Thanks from California. Love the blog. You look great!
go you good thing : )
congratulations great article and pic xx
ps – yeah me again, sorry for being stalkerish hehe : ) just wanted to say i LOVE that you put your grandmothers mixmaster back together with integrity…and is that an engagement ring….? will there be a wedding after all ooo i wonder : )
Hi Lucy, what a treat to come across this feature over my Saturday morning coffee. And what a beautiful face to put to the name. Made me smile x
So excited for you, Lucy! I saw the page, gasped "I KNOW her" to The Pal… When he asked "How?", I had to sort of mumble that I read you every day, and, um, haven't ever met you… Slightly awkward!
Huge congratulations – you deserve every second of it.
So glad you posted this here. I missed the weekend paper. Great article and love the image, well done!
Oh how exciting, congrats Lucy! I love seeing bloggers get features, and the photo is gorgeous.
Congrats Lucy, such a great article. LOVE that chair, I would be devastated to have it in storage too!
Fantastic Lucy – you look just smashing….. and more recognition!
Hey Lucy,
I was so excited to see you in the GW! Such a cute photo too. I have a question about the stool you're sitting on. I was in Longrain the other day, and they had these sort of woven stools that look exactly like the one in your picture, and I'm wondering if it's yours/whether you know anything about it?
Thanks! x
Hi Lucy,
Well done! Great article and pic, nice to read about you for a change! :)
xs
adorable.

OH MY GOODNESS YOU GUYS ARE THE LOVELIEST PEEPS EVER :)
Thankyou so so so much for all your sweet words and encouragement! I was so touched to see all these comments waiting for me here today!
Sorry can't reply to each of you individually…! But here are a few quick responses to some! -
Inky McGuiness – Thankyou for your squeal!! That comment put a big smile on my face! I am also a total squealer. Very embarrassing for my boy. But I appreciate your squealing! xx
Marni – THANKYOU! I hsve got to txt you! Sorry! Lots of love and let's catch up soon!
Sophie Isobel – thankyou such kind words!
Dana @ Yellowtrace – too sweet thankyou!
Barbarella – thankyou for you amazing encouragement!
Catherine in California(!) – thankyou for reading and for your sweet comment!
Kirra – thanks Kirra!!
Kate – love your comment..! I do that too with other bloggers sometimes too.. when i met Grace Bonney last year it was like I already knew her! xx
Elizabeth – thanks so much Elizabeth!
Daydream Lily – Thanks Lily!
Julie – Oh yes it is sad… except I don't remember using the word 'devastated'..! I think maybe I didn't say that :) It seems a little bit dramatic…! hee! But thankyou for your sweet comment!
Helen – WOW you have an eagle eye! YES they do have these stools at Longrain! But in actual fact they are little tables, not stools (although Longgrain use them as stools) I got mine last year on sale at Space furniture.. details here – http://www.thedesignfiles.net/2009/01/hello-flo.html

Loved reading your interview in Good Weekend on Saturday. It's about time someone wrote about you. Fabulous photo…very you Luce. Lisa
congratulations, great pic & profile. I wonder how many more hits you'll see on your blog after this?
Oh my goodness! I read this yesterday and didn't even twig – I'm glad you reposted it! And I have the same vintage mixmaster – aren't they the best? Mine is affectionately called TRex, but it whips up the best meringue ever. Congratulations!t
Hi Lucy. Congratulations on the page in The Age. Been following your blog and was great to see who's behind it. Very appealing photo. Reckon Scott from The Sartorialist would be envious ;) Thanks for creating more space in the mainstream for bloggers. SGx
What a wonderful interview Lucy, you look beautiful!

Hi Lucy
Congratulations, not only on the article but on writing an amazing, engaging blog that I switch onto every night after work just to see what you're talking about. Doesn't matter if I've sat at a computer all day, I'll still check in.
You've inspired me this year to test my skills and devotion by putting together my own blog. If ony to keep track of the cool things I find and the blogs that I read often.
Keep up that amazing style.
So lovely to see your face again Lucy! xapent
Hooray Lucy! : ) Happy for you!
Wow, dont you look great!
Three cheers for you Lucy. xxx
That is so fantastic Lucy! I'm super proud to see someone I know and admire in that magazine. Go you :) Nice words, too :)
Congratulations on well-deserved coverage! Love your blog, wish I had found it sooner! 2010 should be great for you and The Design Files.
Congrats on being published in GW. Well deserved Lucy!
I love everything that you post, especially the insides of other creative's homes.
Congratulations! I was excited to see you there, was a great excuse to tell more people about your excellent blog.
Congratulations Lucy. You are a very bright star indeed! Am about to dedicate a post to you and your blog on mine (TABLE TONIC)and I now have the perfect image! Sorry I missed it in the flesh. Will have to fish my parent's copy out of the garage next time I'm over there! All the best. x
congrats! great article and pic.
So excited when I saw you in the paper, cool and lovely things :)
love your mixmaster.
do you know any good vintage mixmaster restorers in sydney you can recommend?
