There’s something truly magical about mornings in this kitchen — especially when the soft Tasmanian sun pours in through the windows, casting a golden glow across the vintage hardwood floors. Located in our lovingly preserved 1910 farm cottage in Hobart, this space has become the heart of our home — where comfort meets character and every detail tells a story.
The timber dining table, long enough to seat the whole family, is surrounded by mismatched wooden chairs that carry the patina of years of shared meals, laughter, and heartfelt conversations. Above the countertop, glass-fronted cabinets display our everyday glassware and favorite cups, adding a touch of casual elegance while making everything feel accessible and lived-in.
The white shaker-style cabinets blend perfectly with the cottage aesthetic, providing both function and timeless beauty. The open shelving and hanging utensils nod to a simpler time, when tools were part of the decor, and every object had a purpose. Even the collection of vintage wire strainers on the wall feels like an intentional design moment — rustic and artistic all at once.
In the corner, a freestanding stove and oven sits beneath a wide open window, offering not just ventilation, but a peaceful view of the leafy outdoors. The fruit bowl, bottles of olive oil, and wooden cutting boards speak to the soul of the kitchen — one that’s ready to nourish, serve, and gather.
