Me and my Australian DIY and Home Decor Blog!
Hi everyone and welcome to Darling Street! I started this Australian DIY and Decor blog in late 2012 as a way of channeling my love of home décor, renovating and everything DIY.
I love sharing great home-decorating ideas as well as my own DIY adventures with you… whether it’s painting an old side-table, building a floating desk or restoring a vintage clock.
I am an Aussie gal born and bred, however my husband and I relocated to New York in 2011 for 3.5 years. Before we left the beautiful shores of Sydney, we purchased a “fixer-upper” in the lovely suburb of Balmain.
We aesthetically renovated the house before relocating to NYC, but as of 2015 we are back in Sydney (with a baby-in-tow) and in the middle of renovating the entire house! I am blogging about the whole process, so follow along here.
The name Darling Street comes from my favourite street in Balmain – which is lined with great coffee shops, pubs, thrift stores and beautiful home decor shops.
In my other life, I am an actress having appeared in film, television and theatre both in Australia and the USA. Most recently I filmed roles in ‘Elementary’ and ‘Blue Bloods’, both for the CBS Network in the USA.
I am currently playing the role of Tori Morgan in “Home and Away” and having the time of my life!
