So interesting to see an artist’s workspace. I have liked Adam’s work for a while and Caro’s work is beautiful.. Regretting painting over our peppermint VJ’s now!! Thanks for giving us a Brisbane home, Lucy!

This place is too cool!

I love seeing creative homes like this! Not styled within an inch of it’s life, yet everything is perfectly and naturally displayed. Good one!

Love seeing this authentic looking family home and the artist’s workspace.

So good to have a return to the slightly imperfect, but oh so interesting and lovely home of a creative couple. It might be a bit more Selby than Vogue Living but for me, these homes decorated around limited resources or rental restrictions (I too live with mint green walls) are infinitely more interesting than their more contrived counter parts. More homes like this one PLEASE!

Thankyou very much for taking us into the home of a wonderful creative duo! I am immediately put at ease by such an inspirational home. Adam and Caro, thank you for letting us into your real and creative, comfy space – i love it. More like this please Lucy!

I’m with Estelle P. There’s much to love about the wealthy styled homes, but it’s very inspiring to see what people can do on the ground with limited resources and their own-made creations. And I know from having lived in many of these Qlder homes that it’s a big challenge to work around relentless lines on walls and coloured glass windows. Love Adam’s work-in-progress.

love the timber panelling and you’re right aged peppermint green never looked so good. Such a nice home, so cosy and funky!

i love this house! thanks lucy!

Love the quirky details and relaxed style!

Love his artwork. Very cool!

Pastel colours are perfect for the Queensland climate…so so cool! Very creative Artwork throughout and such a welcoming family feel. Thanks for sharing.

Great to see such love and attention lavished on a rental. Shows too the power and transformational ability of creativity in transforming any house into a true home. However Adam and Caro be warned. Similarly inclined as this pair, on three separate occasions I found owners deciding to not renew the lease and determining instead to put the properties on the market having declared the place “never looked so good”. Still, a great opportunity for the dedicated homemaker to work on a whole new project!

man, I LOVE those green walls! and the handrail on that staircase…. and all the artworks! Such a comfy, inviting space :)

i love this home! so charming and oh those peppermint walls – a colour addiction of mine. what a wonderfully inviting, creative home. i’m loving that this isn’t overly styled and polished too – echoing some of the above comments. looking forward to seeing the next home from qld!

smileworthy!

Love seeing this home. Whilst Loom rugs and Hans Wegner furniture are all very nice, homes like this are so interesting!

Is the boat for sale painting for sale???

Absolutely amazing! Each piece has a story and is attention grabbing without comprimising on being a practical house. Sensational!

Stained glass windows…reminds me of my childhood home and makes me smile:) Thanks for sharing guys x

I never thought I’d say this, but you’re making me homesick for Brisbane Lucy! I can almost feel the breeze flowing through the house on a languid afternoon in that second photo.

i adore this home!

This is a dreamy looking home. The colour collection and trimmings are too sweet!

Superbe…. impression de calme, de douceur, de sérénité en “visitant” virtuellement votre maison. J’aime beaucoup les styles mélangés, certains objets qui me sont familiers (tête de femme noire, un scaphandrier pieds-lourds, la malle de voyages !!!!!!! ….), j’y retrouve, Caro, tes couleurs (verts d’eau, acqua ?), tes oeuvres, les toiles d’Ads, les photos des enfants, le skate d’Arlo ? le mélange des époques…. On a envie de rentrer, de visiter, de s’assoir, de boire un verre, de vous voir évoluer à l’intérieur. Je vous imagine sans peine d’ailleurs. L’atelier d’Adam j’adore !!!! tabouret haut, bureau “comme il faut”, La chienne allongée dormant prouve que cette maison respire le calme et qu’elle s’y sent bien. Cet intérieur vous représente, mais représente bien l’image des foyers australiens que l’on en a en France. J’adore ! Je m’inscris pour la visite réelle !!!!!

ahh.. finally an inspiring house tour that I can relate to!! And it’s magic is… no not being like a film set. more being like A REAL HOUSE for REAL LIVING PEOPLE. what film sets try and evoke. places filled with memories, make-do cosy and meaningful and spaces that can hold you throughout moods and seasons. Thank you for sharing a refreshing take on website-worthy living x

this is a good one Lucy! It makes me nostalgic for my old Brissie homes… And that concrete crazy paving downstairs! Perfect.

CONGRATS lucy this is the BEST house you have featured i LOVE everything about this place and its been shot beautifuly!!!

I know Caro and Adam and have visited their home and it is indeed a lovely place to be. It’s partly a testament to the beautiful things they have created and collected, and partly a testament to their ability to arrange them in gorgeous ways. As well as being an artist, Caro is an interior stylist, and I think you can see her touch in the way things are grouped and displayed. Like so many others, I’m really delighted to see such an authentic home being featured.

Would LOVE to see more homes like this on TDF, just so honest, real and creative. :)

i think you’ve described it perfectly lucy..
a film set! this just proves you don’t have to own a home to make it ‘your own’.
beautifully creative, warm and inviting.
love everything about it.

A house that feels like a home – one that’s live in, whee memories are made and shared on the walls, one that is not staged or styled and yet perfect as it should be. Can’t take my eyes off Arkie – a stunner :)

This takes me back to eating scones in my great aunt’s house in Brisbane, looking out at her mango tree. I love it. It takes artistic flair to make mint green so loveable. It could be nowhere else other than Queensland. Just got a set of chairs that are almost exactly the same from a secondhand shop in a NSW south coast town – although they smell of old RSL

Love it!!!

Ah yes, the “rambling and charmingly wonky Queenslander” what would Brisbane be without them?

Awesome balustrade detail to the stair.

LOVE this.
