You've no doubt followed his journey renovating the stunning Rosedale Farm in Orange but we take a step back and talk about his early days in magazines, what led to the farm project and of course, what's next on the cards. The renovation of Rosedale Farm was a huge undertaking and Steve explains his references, his design process and inspiration and how it all came together. We talk about the changing landscape of being a stylist and content creator and the ways to keep up with social media trends. We loved chatting with Steve, he's always such an inspiring figure in the industry and what a perfect way to wrap up the season.

Ever wondered what it takes to be the editor of a homes magazine? This is the episode for you! We sat down with Alice Lines, editor of one of our favourite magazines, homestyle. As our first international guest, we chatted with Alice whilst she was at home in New Zealand and explored the other side of magazines and the world of independent publishing. Under her tenure as editor, she has transformed the mag into one of the coolest, most aesthetically strong titles internationally, breaking the mould with style and personality in every page. As an independent title, there's an understanding to expand beyond the paper copy and we chat about all the different facets that homestyle is exploring, including a product line! Both of us have had the honour of having our homes featured in the mag and it's our absolute pleasure to have Alice join us on this season. Brb, booking a trip to NZ immediately!

For this episode, we deep dive into the world of textiles, furniture and sustainability with Sebastian Nash - Textiles & Leather Development Manager at KING. We visited the KING HQ and were greeted by a table filled with fabric samples, hand-painted sketches, rug samples that Sebastian is currently working on. It was fascinating, to say the least! Sebastian spoke passionately and in detail about developing fabrics, the materials, colour selection, durability testing and application. All the things you wouldn't think of when choosing fabric for your sofa.. because Sebastian has taken care of it for you! We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!

This week, we chat with the owner of the luxury boutique store Becker Minty - Jason Minty. Becker Minty is THE go-to store for glamorous and eclectic homewares and art in Sydney. We describe his store as going on a treasure hunt, there are so many goodies you can't resist! Jason has an interesting story, he studied abroad in China, was a flight attendant for Qantas before changing paths to opening a boutique store in Potts Point. Jason has an exceptional eye for curating unique pieces and then introducing them to the Australian market.. A great example is Kelly Wearstler's homewares range, need we say more! It's why interior designers and stylists flock to his store and art opening to see what homewares and art he is showcasing next. His passion to find eclectic and luxury pieces instead of stocking the same as other stores is a key factor to his success. Jason tells us about his journey of being a store owner during the GFC, the current pandemic and how he manages to get through it and thrive, plus what's next.

Growing up in a tight-knit multi-cultural community in Sydney's western suburbs, Antonia was raised in a traditional Italian household where everything was made by hand, including her clothes. This interest in clothes landed her first job - assistant fashion stylist for David Jones's advertising department, at 16. She then became lead stylist for the brand and freelanced for other brands and a tv station. After having children, her passion for art and desire to have an education grew strong, so she enrolled into art school at age 46. Since graduating, she has taken many leaps up the art world ranks to now one of Australia's leading artists. Her accolades all stem from just a simple longing to feel creatively fulfilled. As friends of Antonia, we couldn't be prouder. Not only is she incredibly talented, she is also one of the kindest, most thoughtful and friendliest women in the art world. We are so excited to share her story with you.

We're kicking off this season with an old pal of ours, Lucy Glade-Wright from Hunting for George. Lucy has one of those classic pivot stories we absolutely love here at House of Style. Starting off as a graphic designer, Lucy started up Hunting For George, which in it's original incarnation was a successful homewares company. But after reassessing her goals in life, work and everything in between, she decided it was time for a change, and thus, Hunting for George V.2 was born! Now known for their incredible videos of home tours, Lucy shares the behind the scenes secrets to capturing these spaces, how she's approaching the work/life balance nowadays and what's next on the cards. This is such a fun guest to kick off the new season with and we're so happy to be back! Enjoy! Thank you to KING for supporting this series of House of Style.

Our season of colour comes to an end and have we got a treat for you for the final episode. We chat with the legend, the icon, Ken Done! The kids from the 80s and 90s grew up with Ken Done artwork on their t shirts, beds, bags, he was everywhere and it was so authentically and proudly Australian. But there's so much more to Ken than this and we dive deep into his story from his childhood, to his early days at art school, then travelling the world as a creative director for an advertising agency, all before starting his art career at age 40! There is so much to pack in here and Ken weaves his story masterfully, it's a beautiful conversation and there are lots of laughs and surprises along the way. This is one of the most amazing guests that has ever been on the podcast, and it seems only fitting that we round out our colour season with the man who captured every hue of this beautiful country on his canvas.

What does it take to create an iconic Australian brand? Well, this week we chat to Louise Olsen, artist, designer and co-founder of Dinosaur Designs, and she lets us in on the path it took for her to get there. Here's a hint, it has a lot to do with time, patience and putting yourself out there creatively. This week's chat was one where we were furiously taking notes, Louise gives incredible, insightful advice when it comes to navigating the design landscape. We talk about the early days of Dinosaur Designs, back when she and her partner Stephen Ormandy were selling their wares at Paddington Markets. There were a few bumps in the road, but with a bit of course correction, well, we know how that story ends! Dinosaur Designs has become one of the country's most beloved brands, with it's pieces instantly recognisable, and with stores all over the world, it's no wonder they're still so coveted after all these years. Thirty years in the industry is no easy feat, but Louise and the team at Dinosaur Designs makes the work look effortless. It's a testament to hard work, good support and a creative vision unrivalled by anyone. Louise is now getting the time to really focus on what she's passionate about, her art. This is someone who had dedicated their life to creating beauty for others, through colour and form, so come take a peak behind the curtain with us and revel in the joy that is this incredible artist.

The path of a stylist is rarely linear and simple. You find people start in one spot and often divert down a multitude of avenues before landing in the role. And the same goes for this week's guest, Bree Leech. Where to begin with Bree... she's a stylist, trend forecaster, colour guru, pop culture addict and overall creative soul. With roots in interior design, Bree bobbed and weaved her way through the industry, from choosing colours for carpet companies to now predicting trends, colours and looks for upcoming seasons. It takes a keen eye to know what is around the corner and we break down the process with Bree, understanding what you need to look out for and what shapes trends. She works with the biggest brands to create campaigns, from Dulux to Laminex, this is one creative lady who has her finger on the pulse!

After a childhood in the picturesque town of Bellingen, artist Daimon Downey was ready to take the big smoke by storm with his art. But a fortuitous session jamming at a party lead to an unexpected career, the frontman of Australian dance music group Sneaky Sound System. Safe to say not your average career diversion... a few hit songs, a couple of ARIA awards and fourteen years later, he decided to hang up the headphones and get back to his first passion, painting. Nowadays, Daimon is living in Bondi in his apartment/art studio where he has taken the art scene by storm. Sold out shows, cooler than cool collaborations, and some very funky interior fit outs along the way, Daimon has made an indelible mark on the scene and there's no slowing down. With a strong pastel colour palette, his art is loud, full of life, pace and unabashed colour. We chat about the Sneaky years, where he gets his inspo, his home and what's around the corner. The man oozes cool and we had a blast chatting with him.

And we're back with part two of our special two part bonus episodes where we are interviewing each other! This week, Kerrie-Ann is in the hot seat and we delve into the world of one of the industry's most accomplished stylists. You've seen her work grace the covers of so many magazines, but before Kerrie-Ann took the styling world by storm, she had a whole other career. One of our favourite things we talk about with guests is their 'pivot' moment, when they go from one industry, take a chance and switch it up. Kerrie-Ann has had a few pivots in her time, from dance, to almost a decade in the music industry, her pivot came from her love of design and interiors. Kerrie-Ann's experience in the industry shows you can't sit around and wait for opportunities to land at your feet, if you want something to happen, it starts with you. This is a story about seeking your dream out and grabbing it. There's no sign of her slowing down either, and her next project is just around the corner, The Stylist's Lab, an online masterclass on finding your own personal style and how to hone your skills. We can't wait to check it out!

This week is part one of our special two part bonus episodes where we are interviewing each other! First up is Jono, our resident interior designer. Jono is a self confessed 'curated maximalist' with a short attention span and a love for design. We start at the beginning where Jono's first creative outlet was as a budding musician, but it wasn't long until he knew interiors and designer were his main focus. After a gap year in England (that alone is a story you won't want to miss), he came back to Sydney with interiors on the mind and has been going ever since. It hasn't always been the easiest path, there's lots of ups and downs, plus a brief detour to cook in Italy, but no matter what, Jono's passion for the industry has fuelled him and he's become a bit of a jack of all trades when it comes to design. In an industry with so much happening, it can be hard to figure out which path is the right one and this week's chat shows you don't have to decide on everything right away. Things will change and opportunities will come up, you just have to roll with it and see where it takes you.

We round out our 'Women in Design' season with one of the most iconic figures in the Australian interiors and publishing world. The one and only Karen McCartney joins us on the season finale to talk about her illustrious career in magazines, from being the founding editor of Inside Out, to writing seven incredible books on architecture, interiors and design. Although she admits she's not one to dwell in the past, we take a trip down memory lane and find out what led her to becoming one of the most legendary people in the industry. We pick her mind on what makes the mid-century, architecturally designed home so iconic in Australia, the processes of writing, shooting and designing a book and what it's like in the role of an editor and what it's like on the other side. There's a reason Karen McCartney is a name that's been popping up from other guests repeatedly on this podcast ever since Season One, she's an incredible positive force and influence to so many and we hope some of her wisdom imparts onto you too.

We're all about a side hustle here at House of Style and this week's guest turned her side hustle into a staple in every designer's bedroom. Pip Vassett of IN BED started off in fashion and styling before turning her sights onto the homewares industry. Six years later and IN BED is one of the most recognisable brands in the design landscape. Built off a gap in the market for beautiful, linen bedding, IN BED now offers a whole range of homewares and there's only more good stuff to come. One of the ways Pip has continued to build on the brand's success is simple, keep looking ahead and don't worry about what everyone else is doing. Bucking trends and going with her gut keeps the brand authentic and inspiring. The brand extends beyond just a product, it encourages a whole lifestyle, with gorgeous homes featured on the IN BED Journal, focusing on slow living. It's a special brand that can do this and IN BED is pretty special in our eyes. Thank you to Globewest for helping bring this series to you and for supporting Women in Design.

For some brands, sustainability and ethical production can be a second thought or something that is addressed down the track, but that was never the case for these two incredible women. Armadillo & Co. founders Jodie Fried and Sally Pottharst wanted their brand to be driven by ethics as well as aesthetics. Each rug is made by hand from natural and sustainable fibres, using Fair Trade practices. They are driven by a desire to elevate age-old methods of craftsmanship through a uniquely Australian contemporary design process. Founded in 2009, they've always proudly shared their story, but not quite like this. To hear these two talk about their incredible decade long experience was not only inspirational but also an emotional journey. For those looking to start a business, this is how you do it with the right approach from day one. With the launch of their Sydney showroom at the end of last year, there's no slowing down for this iconic Australian brand and we can't wait to see what's next. Thank you to Globewest for helping bring this series to you and for supporting Women in Design.

The career path of a stylist is never linear. We tend to jump around from different corners of the design field, so when someone establishes themselves at the top of the industry, you know their journey there is going to be an interesting one. Claire Delmar is one of the most published stylists in the country. With her work gracing the covers of Vogue Living, Belle, Inside Out, as well as dozens of international titles, she is truly one of the best. But like all of us, she has a varied path to getting here, with a stint in teaching, fashion PR, food styling and week at a pasta restaurant, before landing the role of Style Editor at major publications. We break down the industry, stylist(s) to stylist, and discuss what it takes to stand out in this interiors landscape. Designer, stylist, creative director, Claire wears many hats and we can't wait to see what's next for this powerhouse.
