Fiona's Southern Australian Find: A Love Story

by Jaime Derringer, Posted Oct 12th 2009

Fiona Dyer, owner of Fede Textiles, is a mother, wife, artist, crafter and interior designer -- whew! On a June day in 2008, she pulled up to this 1957 rancher, and though it was a bit overgrown and in need of TLC, she knew that she was just the person to give it the attention it needed. The location was perfect, and it was love at first sight. Ah, a house love story. Aren't they the best kind?

by Jaime Derringer, Posted Aug 7th 2009

Everything just looks cuter when it's smaller: kittens, tiny baby shoes, teeny tiny spoons, itty bitty grapes. Whatever it is, it's much more likely to get an "awwwwww" if it's tiny. That's why I just love these Mid-Century Modern dollhouses and miniature furniture.

I asked Amanda to offer us a peek inside of her home so I could find out where she snagged all her eclectic pieces.
