Every day feels like a holiday in the home of Cheryl and James Kitchener!
The couple purchased this ‘80s property in Suffolk Park, located six kilometres from Byron Bay, for its retro feel, privacy, and connection to the garden.

Artist Liz Sofield moved to Brisbane 16 years ago and has lived in the coastal town of Scarborough, 30 kilometres north of the city, since. Before that, she and her young family did a brief stint living in a remote mining town. Devoid of a creative outlet, it was here that she reconnected with her childhood love for making art.
Drawing on training textile design and interior design, and with a lifelong love for craft, Liz began making simple sculptures from paper and thread. Now, her works consists of crochet and porcelain forms, which she makes from her sunny 1950s home in Queensland.
Today Jad and Hady Choucair of Mankoushe share with us a Middle Eastern staple, and one of their favourite dishes – tabouli.
This traditional version of tabouli swaps the cracked wheat, soggy diced tomatoes and cucumber, instead incorporating leafy herbs with crunchy seasonal vegetables. It is the perfect summer side dish, and takes only minutes to make.
When it comes to living the longest, and the healthiest, the Japanese are Number 1 — quite literally. Children born in Japan today enjoy the best life expectancy of any country in the world: 84
The best creatives are the ones that come along and shake things up when you didn’t think any refreshing was required. The TDF team experienced that sensation last year when we saw pictures of a groundbreaking early learning centre in Richmond, freshly completed by local interior design extraordinaire, Danielle Brustman. It was clear she knew how to make a mark.
Since that short time ago, this under-the-radar former theatre set designer has been rapidly racking up some serious street cred – launching an installation for the NGV Triennial 2020, receiving a commendation for her ‘Chromatic Fantastic’ cabinet at the 2020 TDF + Laminex Design Awards, and setting up shop in the thriving new Collingwood Yards arts precinct, as the recipient of the Bank of Melbourne Studio Residency. Phew! That’s a big list.
But for someone at the top of her game, Danielle keeps a pretty low profile. Now’s your chance to get to know her!
