Hello lovely people. 👋🏻 For various reasons The Room Illuminated had to take a back seat in 2019, but I am really excited to say that it's making a return in 2020. This means of course that I need YOU and your favourite room! 🏘If you have, or if you know someone that has a room in their home that - . 1) Oozes personality 2) Has a story or two attached to the objects in the space. 3) Has memories that took part in the room that they would love to share. 4) Is not concerned that the room is un-renovated or not 'on trend'. 5) Is not concerned that the room IS renovated or 'on trend'. 6) Loves the idea of me popping round to take a few snaps. . Then please email me some info about your favourite space along with a few snaps, or tag the friend that you'd like to nominate in the comments below.⬇️ Here's to another year of the favourite rooms of everyday people. Can't wait! 😄🎉We have room 101 on the blog today thanks to the wonderful Jana Isaza-Smith (aka @the.design.smith ). Head on over and take a peek...link in profile.Introducing our next contributor to #theroomilluminated - the divine, patient (I've been very neglectful of the blog llately due to freelance commitments) and talented Jana Isaza-Smith...aka @the.design.smith . .

So this is me and my husband Jon. And tomorrow we will be revisiting OUR favourite room on @theroomilluminated. . It will be room100!! That I cannot believe. This blogging journey has been a huge one with lots of twists and turns and I thought it was only fitting to celebrate this achievement by inviting you to our favourite room once again. . See you at our place tomorrow! Kate xx**COMPETITION TIME!!!** . To celebrate the start of a brand new year, I've got a very cool giveaway going for one very lucky winner. Head on over to my freelance page @katehansenphotography to enter...you won't want to miss this one!!!!!You can imagine my excitement when I came across this illustration by @kasey.rainbow the other day. This uber cool lady based the piece on a photo I took recently of Tash Webb from @thecolourtribe for the @theroomilluminated ....How fricking cool is it! I could get used to seeing my images in this form let me tell ya! 😍😍So there are bedrooms.....and then there are BEDROOMS!! @hoteldelove you and your home are something else! I'll always consider snapping your place as one of the biggest highlights of my photographic career!! 💖💖 . . Pic by me.January marks 6 years since I started #theroomilluminated . I started the blog as a way to nurture my creative side, to challenge myself and to cross paths with a whole bunch of folk that I never would have connected with in my everday life. . . Corny but true...it has turned out to be everything I had hoped and more. It has taken me into the special spaces of so many welcoming, generous people. It has made my life that much more colourful and purposeful. And it has developed into a fabulous career change - my freelance photography biz @katehansenphotography . . . I'm happy to say that The Room Illuminated will be back in 2019. And for room 100 I'll be revisiting MY favourite room. Yep....after a huge reno....my little old, original lounge room is still my fave. . . If you fancy being number 101 please tag yourself in the comments below. If you would like to nominate a friend...please tag them also. 💖💖💖

I am very proud of the training/Exhibition room we have just completed in my studio building on the farm. From an old farm shed it is now a modern and beautiful space with enough room for large works and some sculptures. I even have a ‘blackboard’ made of glass! We have a nice entry with space for hanging and a counter that we made up from a shop leftover and I hope to have my first solo out of the space in the Spring as part of my university degree. I can show you some photos if you’d like! You can email me at: artist@janicemills.net.
