Vicki's sun-dappled dining room, overlooking the garden, is the perfect spot for a relaxed Christmas lunch. The tree from Ashgrove-based [Real Christmas Trees](http://www.realchristmastrees.com.au/) is decorated with pieces from [Paper Boat Press](http://paperboatpress.com/), while the bird and star mobile and linen party hats are from [Oh Mee Oh Mai](http://www.ohmeeohmai.com/). The cakes and biscuits are from [Jocelyn's Provisions](https://jocelynsprovisions.com.au/) and floral arrangements are by Dezley Hughes. The chairs were picked up at Sydney's Alexandria Auctions more than 10 years ago. Outside, a bamboo screen covered with ivy and jasmine was built along the length of the yard for privacy. | Photo: Kara Rosenlund
