It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas and here at @homebeautiful we couldn’t be more excited. Our December issue hits stores today, ready to spread some Christmas cheer. Whether you’re dusting off the decorations, writing gift lists or are all wrapped up with preparations, we’ve got holiday inspiration for you. This issue, we visited 10 gorgeous houses, all decorated in a range of chic seasonal styles. Designers Melinda Hartwright, Melanie Parker, Darren Palmer, Alexandra Brownlow and Tara Dennis dished on how they deck the halls while former Home Beautiful Editor Wendy Moore invited us over for a festive feast. Our gift to you this Christmas is the secret to being the host with the most. Welcome your guests with a florist-approved wreath, then take notes as we break down entertaining staples such as correct glassware, creating the ultimate bar cart and setting the table in style. And our December issue wouldn’t be complete without our thorough selection of the most thoughtful and coveted gifts for the season. But if you want to present loved ones with the gift that keeps on giving, buy a subscription to homebeautiful and never miss an issue! Link in bio.

It took a special couple to see past a thorny block on the Mornington Peninsula and build a dream home, complete with six geese a-laying. The 6.5-hectare empty block on the Mornington Peninsula was home to territorial cows and covered in blackberries that had to be cleared.
