Happy Holidays!

It’s January, and for your holiday reading pleasure we have prepared a bumper summer issue. We were actually sending this issue to print when the Inside Out team stopped, took a beat and recognised how fantastic this edition is – absolutely bursting with the joy of summer and pages and pages of inspiration and real information. Each of the houses in this January edit elicits a summer-holiday vibe rich in Australian style. You could start with our annual A ordable Art feature (page 30), filled with deputy editor Kate Hassett’s art discoveries. Kate scoured the country to reveal this selection of new and emerging Australian artists, which we should all be investing in right now – before they boom!

If entertaining is your plan this month, the outdoors shoot on page 120, created by Melbourne-based stylist Heather Nette King, should serve as some serious inspiration to transform your space into a delicious entertaining destination brimming with colour and luscious greenery. To top that o , you could also pile on some of the easy – but impressive – dishes by Alice Zaslavsky to enhance your backyard party pleasure.

But what I love the most in this issue is the incredible by-the-sea garden project on NSW’s Central Coast (page 110) by Pangkarra Landscape Design. This magic garden could be a holiday destination in itself and has some big ideas for my imaginary beach house – and maybe yours, too?

Enjoy!
