Recently my family and I had the pleasure of having lunch with our close friends the Millars at their charming home in Palm Beach on the Gold Coast, Australia.
Timothy Millar of Gilston 4 fame and his stunning wife Charmaine hosted and created a wonderful gourmet experience which included ricotta fritters and a flavourful multi-mushroom risotto!
Their home, which I am sorry to say they have just sold and moved from,
was one of my favourite places.
An original 1950's beach cottage, was transformed by the Millars into a lovely family home including a private lillipilli lined courtyard with enormous potted bougainvillea.

The original garage was converted into the master bedroom and the bathroom
with its 'Black Japan' timber clad tub into Japanese bathhouse aesthetic!
The Millars with their young children Gene and Charlotte have sadly outgrown this home which although small in space, is big on style!
Thank you for the great times!

The dining area looks utterly gorgeous! Would have loved to see the rest of their home. Thanks for sharing..
ReplyDeleteYes Anastasia!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately there were no more pics available.
The previous owner Tim said he was a "bad archivist"!!
Naughty boy!
You can never have enough photos to document your home or projects!
Sounds like a beautiful lunch - they are obviously super stylish. Very jealous of those dining chairs! And the menu sounds sensational - imaginative vegetarian - brilliant stuff.
ReplyDeleteSad to leave this charming home behind but I have a sneaking suspicion that their next pad will also be on the elegant side, no?
Yes indeed!
ReplyDeleteEverything they do is big on style and love!!!
And don't you just love, as you put it 'imaginative vegetarian'!!
