Almost 100 years ago, Newcastle, a beachside city on Australia’s east coast, was a very different place. The Great Depression hit it hard, and many locals relied on building their own homes if they had the resources. The remnants of this era exist across the region in its Federation-style homes – fairly modest in detail, but made with enduring craftsmanship. 💫 But one of these hand-built dwellings is an architectural outlier: a charming Spanish Mission–style bungalow that “sticks out like a little sore thumb” among the suburban streetscape. Now, it’s where artist @annieeveringham lives with her husband Chris and two sons – a joy-filled oasis worlds away, yet still shaped by its former life. Annie – a visual artist and the creative mind behind our new limited-edition La Fête tableware collection – explains that “finding this home felt very serendipitous. It was pretty special.” Watch the full video and read the story on Bed Threads Journal. Link in bio. ✨⁠ Video by @calebgrahamfilms.
