Perched in Blue Mountain Heights with a skyline full of cacti and sunshine, Ben Walker’s home, ‘Saguaro’, feels like a slice of Palm Springs transplanted into regional Queensland. Designed from the ground up and shaped by years of photographing  houses, it’s a space where clean lines, desert landscaping and thoughtful details come together in a way that feels effortlessly his.

Step inside Cathy Penton’s world and you’ll find more than a home - you’ll find a life woven with family, history and handmade detail. For over two decades, Cathy has made a living as a creator of gorgeous things, designing for magazines, running a retail store, and creating her own range from her home in Meringandan. From the restoration of an 1880s railway cottage to the layered revival of an old courthouse, her spaces are warm, textural and filled with the philosophy that guides her creative life: “Simple Things, Small Joys.”
