A cosy cabin amongst the gum trees

Tucked away amongst a forest of gumtrees, a wonderful old Bedford truck has found its final resting place yet has also found a new purpose as much loved private accomodation for its owners. Made entirely from salvaged & found materials, the cabin has character that can only be created with materials that are infused with the spirit of their past lives. Materials worn, marked & softened through time & makers marks bring a sense of character that can only be achieved with time and would be impossible to create with new materials.

Inside, the warm honey tones of the Matai wood (salvaged from a hurricane) & the upper bed layered with linen & wool bedding invite you in with their promise of warmth & comfort. The beautiful door has been fitted with an amazing Indian carved window that was found dumped in a workplace scrapyard(!). Close it behind you and you will feel cocooned against the icy air that whips up off the Pacific Ocean.

I love to photograph homes & gardens and especially love to capture the small details that make your house a home. If you are interested in having me capture your home, Airbnbs, rental accomodation or gardens please get in touch with me here.
