Who am I?
My name is Carolyn and I live on the Northern beaches of Sydney, Australia, otherwise known as paradise.
After bearing my two darling children, 9 & 4, and helping my husband to run his boat building business Dinghysports, for the last several years, I am now pursuing other interests, which are also dear to my heart. In this little electronic diary of our lives, my children and husband are consecutively known as ‘the Beach House Brats’ and ‘Mr Beach House’.
Although my background is in law, teaching and business, in 2011 I started my own property styling business and thanks to the great support of some local real estate agents, I have had plenty of work. I work to help clients with a view to making the most of what they already have, to achieve the best outcome possible in the sale of their home.
I blog about the goings on of our lives here at the Beach House and how I was a fabulous mother until I had kids, about the rocky road of marriage and how it all hangs together by a thread at times.
My back drop is the beautiful Australian coast and a cute little post war Beach House, that we have brought back from the brink of oblivion over the last 7 years. My blog has lots of styling and crafty posts but also what us salty types get up to socially, gastronomically and architecturally, as well.

I recently cooked at the Sydney Good Food and Wine Show, in the Garden Gourmet Blogger Cook Off/ Blog Off competition and made it through to the finals, to be held on the Sunshine Coast in March 2013. (We are now down from 80 entrants to 9). You can read about the cook off here

I am very interested in working with other corporates with a view to growing our businesses together.
