CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

NEW SOUTH WALES

Suzie Anderson Home

alking into Suzie Anderson’s Moss Vale store feels like entering a glorious country house. Connecting rooms are styled so her customers get a true sense of what her pieces can feel like in their own homes. “One room may feel like the Hamptons, one more coastal,” Suzie tells us. “There’s a bedroom, a bathroom, a man’s domain, an old French atelier, country kitchen, dining room, garden room and a rug room.” If you think, from this description, her collection sounds prolific, you’re not mistaken. Suzie’s interior decorator’s eye for homewares, furniture and one-off European antiques, along with her signature palette of neutral tones, can be credited for breathing fresh life into Moss Vale’s main street. We asked Suzie for some stocking filler suggestions this festive season — she recommends travel candles by Lumira, her by Brené Brown) and a handcrafted French leather portable backgammon set. Rumour has it, Suzie’s going all out with her Christmas decorations this year, so if you’re passing, be sure to drop in and experience the magic. There’s a second Suzie Anderson Home in Bowral.
