To celebrate the launch of our limited edition collaboration with Lauren Freestone (@freestone_art), we're looking back on #TheMakers tour with the renowned Wiradjuri artist. ✨
Lauren and her husband bought their Newcastle home in 2019. And though they were in the middle of aesthetic renovations and touch-ups when we visited, the space appealed to them because the bones were so sturdy. “We loved the layout of the house—it has a great flow and it backs onto bush. It had a very eclectic retro vibe in its original state, but we knew it could be revived. We wanted something older that didn’t need structural work and this was perfect.” 💫
Open and inviting, you simply want to spend days lingering here. Lauren’s aesthetic is “simple”—she prefers to focus on earthy tones and natural elements to create a relaxed and warm atmosphere. ✨
Pride of place, though, are Lauren’s artworks. The house is full of the artist’s own work, as well as paintings by her father, also a celebrated Indigenous artist. The pair recently worked together on a mural, a meaningful and memorable experience for the pair. “My paintings definitely relate to who I am—they are about my family and our Wiradjuri history as well as our connection to country so they all tell a bit of my story.” ✨
