Every year I tell myself I’ll be more organised with Christmas gifting, and every year I still end up curating my list right up until the cut-off.
If you’re the same, a quick reminder that Christmas delivery for online orders closes tomorrow at 11:59pm AEDT.
I’ve pulled together a curated gift guide with pieces I love, thoughtful design-led objects from local makers, beautifully crafted homewares and a few timeless favourites.
Comment ‘gift guide’ and I’ll send you the link, or find it in my bio 🤍
Happy gifting! K-A x

A beautifully reimagined 1960s beach house in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Newport Residence by @fivefootonedesign is now live on @thelocalproject .
The home honours its mid-century architecture while embracing playful, contemporary updates - from restored cedar windows to a blush-toned bathroom with retro mosaics.
I styled the interiors to complement its nostalgic charm, layering vintage, artisanal and timeless pieces to enhance the warmth and personality of the space.
More from the project via my link in bio.

Thrilled to be making something stranger than usual for @craftvictoria Visionaries 2025 exhibition: DONE/UNDONE curated by @joseph_gardner opening on November 14 at Craft.
Deeply flattered, definitely not a visionary, but passionately curious, and optimistic that the laws of physics and my hand skills are up to the challenge.
Waxing a chess board made from a single piece of brass is almost exactly like waxing a surfboard. Aside from using a blow torch to remove the moisture, and open the pores, brush on a microcrystalline wax developed by the British Museum, waited for it to cool and then buffed it by hand. But aside from that it’s basically identical.

This is my own spoon rest. The first one I molded and cast and finished by hand. The patina has developed slowly over time and use celebrating and cementing the moments spent cooking on its surface. Sure it could be polished to look brand new but where is the fun in that. Where is the character or the memories imbued.
Each spoon rest is finished by hand, and one rumble polished the first hands that touch the surface will be yours.
I often make a mess in the kitchen so I made a SPOON REST.
Inspired by a sine wave, the soft curve keeps your utensiles floating off the surface of the rest, any drips are caught below, keeping your bench clean while you cook.
I made the first iteration of this over a year ago and cast a handful for friends and family to try out. Like all pieces, I live with them and use them to make sure I am happy with it before putting it into production.
Available now on our website. 🤌🏼🥘
