Every month, our BHG Editor Megan Osborne adds all of her favourite finds in one list for you to peruse and feel inspired by.
My home is filled with pieces that make me genuinely happy – a friend once called it “eclectic bohemian”. There’s colour, plants and a mix of styles from Art Nouveau and Art Deco through to French farmhouse. But here are a few things still on my wishlist!

01
Lion’s head door knocker

02
Villeroy & Boch French Garden Fleurence large deep plate

Villeroy & Boch has a history dating back to a small (now French) village in Lorraine in 1748. These very cute, very French-inspired plates bring an ultimate rustic vegie patch charm.

03
Crosshatch glass pendant light
from $115, Fat Shack Vintage
Available in three colours and two sizes, this Holophane glass style was popular in the early 1900s. The texture in the glass diffuses light to create a gentle glow.

04

from $93, Peters of Kensington
These glasses add a touch of elegance to your table setting. Or you can collect the whole Bee set, including tumblers short and tall.

05
Chartwell Home Ararat pedestal planter
from $189.99, Temple & Webster
A pedestal planter is a great way to bring height to your garden and focus to some lovely flowers. This classic style has just enough ornamentation to look vintage without outshining your plants.

01
Natio Adore candle
from $34.95, Myer

02
Epzen Calm Cleanse hydrating body wash
from $10, Target

03
Carrière Frères Cypress reed diffuser
from $119, David Jones
I tend to gravitate towards orange blossom, rose or jasmine, but I was stopped in my tracks by this cypress diffuser. It evokes a feeling of being in a Mediterranean forest. I love it in my lounge room!

04

Want the softness of white florals, such as jasmine and tuberose, but with an edge of spicy sandalwood? You’ll fall in love with Trudon’s Elae. A beautiful summer evening scent.
