This character filled family home is located in Melbourne and has been lovingly renovated by its current owner Chyka Keebaugh & her husband. I adore the way the home is full of one-of-a-kind pieces which the she has picked up at flea markets from around the world. The simple furniture and abundance of character provides a lovely environment for displaying them all. 
I love the white panelled walls and the metal wall sconces which are from Montreux. It provides a lovely backdrop for those stunning peonies.
A beautiful tablescape of glass ornaments catches the light from the window, I adore the simple touch of colour the green the plants add to the room. Stunning!

Nice. I am so inspired by your blog. I found some grey/silver velvet on a clearance table at one of my craft stores and bought all of it in hope to re-do my sofa or something one day. Anyway, I was inspired by your Kobe picture with the silvery, velvet pillows. When or if I use it I will show the before and after pics. Thanks, Heidi
Thanks Heidi, I would love to see what you do with the fabric!
What a gorgeous home!! I LOVE that big gray cabinet- it's so pretty!
xx
Lovely pictures.
(I have the same cabinet in my house but it is not so "beautifully" gray. I think some serious painting job is coming into consideration.)
Thank you for inspirations.
Oh wow, I used to love watching her on Thursday mornings when Callum was a baby (he's now 5)! She always wore an initial necklace. Too funny!
Beautiful house Amanda. xx
I agree - The big cabinet is fabulous!
It is Chyka's house, I visited her store a few years ago but I am not sure if she still has it, does anyone know?
What a lovely house!!!
I have always imagined one day owning a house with a library and whizzing along on a sliding ladder similar to the one in the picture! I love the table scape with the glass and the greenery - i might need a conservatory in this dream house of mine...

ok, when can i move into that house?!!! loved everything you showed, just a great feel. i too love mixing in old finds and new ones!
Such a stunning home! And I love her approach to decorating with flea market finds and other collectibles. It's the way I like to do it. LOVE the outdoor dining table!! Great post.
It's a very personal home, cozy and light at the same time. I spent 5 min. this morning just staring at the first image. Thank you for the inspiration.....Ginny
AHH I love it! I've always wanted a ladder and this is a great solution! Plus I'm short so I NEED one!
That living? I can die for.
So serene & that what I called "beauty & simple".
TY for sharing!

Wow Amanda, this is such a gorgeous home! Chyka is so talented - I also remember when she was on the morning show, I always tried not to miss her segment. Stunning post! Tracey x
I too was another Chyka fan! I LOVE that Madison book this gorgeous home is featured. So many inspiring homes to choose from.

Thanks for the comments everyone!
I never did see her on the morning show - always at work. But I remember seeing her house in many of the magazine's and always loved her style! I have a couple of cushions I bought at her store a few years ago - still love them!

Chyka is my idol! I used to watch her and Bert decorate things with tears in my eyes - and I would go and work for The Big Group in a heartbeat ... fabulous photos, thanks so much for posting them xx
Just beautiful.... so serene...so my taste. I have the same cabinet in black, all wrapped up in the garage, waiting for a study to put it in ....actually a house even would do! A-M xx
Beautiful home.
The neutral color scheme with hints of color is so serene.
I love the topiaries on the farmhouse table outside.
Just lovely.
