EVERYDAY JOY by Kate Nixon

Effortless ideas for home & entertaining

A truly monumental update to share, with the publishing of our very first book, Everyday Joy.

Our north star as a team and now the book is available, filled with inspiring interiors, favourite recipes and all the little things that bring everyday joy.

With all my heart, I thank my husband Tim. You are my true partner in all our endeavours, by my side for more years than not. We have trekked through the valleys and climbed the mountain tops together and I can't wait for all the adventures still to come.

To my beautiful children, Henry and Agnes. You are my greatest joy. Every day I am grateful for the gift of you. To my parents David and Margaret for your unwavering belief and support. You show us love and commitment and wisdom and that the very best things in life are free. And to your mums - my grandmas. Both incredibly creative, courageous women who made something out of nothing and left lasting legacies of family and home.

To my parents in-law Sue and Paul for your support, guidance and encouragement through all the years. And for providing such a special piece of heaven for us to make out cherished memories on the farm. The fresh eggs and sun-warmed citrus, juicy stone fruit eaten in swimmers under the tree, fingers fragrant from freshly
picked vegetables and herbs, chicken sandwiches and orange cakes by the creek...one of my life's greatest joys is to cook from your kitchen garden and
share these memories with you.

I have been blessed to walk through many doors throughout my career, held open by inspiring mentors who believed in me and taught me so much. Kay Wofmwell from Mother Meg's Fine Foods, my editors Maya Kellett, Lis Green and Tanya Buchanan from Australian House & Garden magazine, Giovanni, Paola, Michelangelo and the extended Busatti family. You have guided and gifted me opportunities of a lifetime and I am forever grateful.
