A new online shelter magazine has joined the fray { goodness I feel like I say that every week... } . Aussie based mag <a href="http://www.adoremagazine.com/">Adore Home</a> launched this past week and it lived up to the name. I was highly impressed by the content, format, design and quality of writing. You know a mag is good when you read it and want to write and shoot pics for it!

But to the kitchen. The space belongs to the<a href="http://thecommagroup.com/"> Comma Group</a>, based in Daylesford Victoria the Comma Group provides a space to pause, relax and take a break.  The home is a lovely peaceful looking retreat designed by Matt Martino and overflows with his artwork and lovely second hand finds. The kitchen is divine, and this is why I love it:

- Ok, how THICK is the marble on that kitchen island?? Seriously you could drop a school bus on there and it would just bounce off! Ok..maybe that is an exaggeration but you get my drift. I love white veined marble and to see a slab like that has me salivating as though it were a serving of Roquefort. Visually delicious!

- I love a chalkboard wall as much as the next person, but what I love is what seems to be on this wall. A hand drawn 'map' of the local area and places of interest to stop off at on the way. Genius idea for a rental home - the kitchen is the perfect place for guests to eat brekkie and plan their daily excursions.

- Those beautiful sprawling wood floors are a treat. I detest lino in the kitchen and sometimes am not so hot about tiled floors. Wood floors make the space feel homey.

- That honking beast of a range makes me smile. It looks like a six burner ...ahh six burners! Imagine the possibilities of multitasking that allows for! I &lt;3 it. I truly do.

If you are travelling to Australia any time soon and have interest to rent this space go to the <a href="http://thecommagroup.com/">Comma Group</a> website for more info and more pictures.
