Come behind the scenes on our shoot with Jacinta ~ Salt Living | French Flax Linen, with our film-style behind-the-scenes photos!

Based in Coffs Harbour, Salt Living’s founder Jacinta headed north for a special shoot with us at my place Oxleigh House ~ Shoot Location Sunshine Coast, here on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.

And in case you missed it last Friday night, the full shoot story is on our Journal, with all the behind-the-scenes details and a deeper look into how we create these beautiful scenes.

Imagine waking up and walking straight out the French doors to have a cup of tea and pastries on the verandah. Heavenly!

For this shoot, we styled the space to best represent Jules' existing style and the feel of her home, with a touch of seasonal locally grown dusty pink and white florals and some beautiful linen pieces from .

Before my business was born, I used to have a blog called Hayley Wholehearted. It was pre-Instagram days and I would post photos of things that I had made to have a little creative outlet.

Friday night would be my favourite night to either post a blog post or I would spend the evening reading through other creative people’s blogs and I absolutely loved it.

So tonight, I’m taking things back to where it all started! I’m excited to share with you our latest blog post where we take you behind the scenes on our recent campaign shoot for Jacinta ~ Salt Living | French Flax Linen.

You can read all about it on the Wholehearted Journal now.

We loved putting this together for you, so make sure you tell us if you love it and we can endeavour to do it more often! 🀎

Ever since I did a post the other week about my house being a shoot location, I’ve had lots of people asking questions about my house again.

So! If you’re new here… here’s the long story short: solo Mum (me) with a 9-month-old baby, convinced a bank manager to loan her money to buy a 90-year-old Queenslander, started renovating it, and built a styling business at the same time.

Then, after I’d renovated it a little bit, it got written about in a local magazine. When that magazine came out, it was dropped off at a local cafe. The son of the first lady to ever live here and his wife saw the article while having a cuppa, recognised the front door, and emailed me!

Next thing I knew, they were coming over for morning tea. They told me all about the history of my house, Mrs Bennett, the first lady to live here, and then gave me a collection of photos of my house through the years. And then they dropped off the original dining chair that belonged to the family.

I couldn’t have dreamed this story up even if I tried. It was like the movie β€˜Under the Tuscan Sun’, but a Nambour version, lol.

Anyways… since settling into my role as Creative Director and Stylist here at Wholehearted Studio, and being busy working on shoots myself, it is so rewarding to now get to share my artisan Queenslander as a shoot location.

If you’d like to use Oxleigh House ~ Shoot Location Sunshine Coast for your next Sunshine Coast shoot location, send us a message or book via the link in our bio. 🀎

One of the highlights of the past few months was being invited to style this beautifully restored Queenslander on the shores of Lake Weyba for its editorial debut in Country Style magazine.

I first heard about Matt and Bec’s vision for the home years ago and knew it was something special. After a long renovation journey, stepping into the finished space was a joy β€” it is obvious in every detail that so much thought and consideration has been put into this project to reflect their family, their story, and the way they live.

At the beginning of every year I know about a third of the work we have coming in, the rest is unknown. That other two thirds? Well that requires a bit of hope, trust, hard work, and saying my prayers each night that good things, projects and people will cross our path!

And tonight’s one of those times where good things have happened, and I get to share that we’re on the cover this month of Australian Country Style magazine! And for a stunning Sunshine Coast home too. β™₯ π’Ÿπ’Ύπ’Άπ“‚π‘œπ“ƒπ’Ή π’žπ‘œπ“‰π“‰π’Άπ‘”π‘’ π΅π“π‘œπ‘œπ“‚π“ˆ β™₯ has been so lovingly restored and renovated, and this issue is filled with lots of other beautiful homes and photos.
