Hey, I'm Krystal.

Lifelong interiors obsessive, wife, mum of two and someone who firmly believes our surroundings have a bigger impact on us than we might realise.

I've been utterly obsessed with interiors for as long as I can remember.

As a little girl, I'd spend hours making miniature furniture for my dioramas, saving every spare dollar to restyle my bedroom (which my very patient dad repainted more times than I can count — sorry, Dad!) and wandering through display homes for fun.

And when The Block came along? Compulsory viewing, obviously.

Fast forward and that childhood obsession has turned into a career spanning more than 14 years, thousands of styled properties across Melbourne and the Surf Coast, and a business I'm incredibly proud to have founded, built and eventually sold — The Muse Society.

Quite a lot has happened between those childhood bedroom makeovers and now.

But enough about the résumé.

I'm a country girl at heart, now happily settled by the coast with my hubby Brad, our two little ones, Eadie and Banjo, our pooch Betsy and Otis the lizard. Never a dull moment around here!

I'm happiest outdoors, pottering around in my veggie garden, wandering through farmers markets, heading off in the caravan or exploring somewhere I've never been before. Travel is one of my greatest loves, and I'm forever collecting inspiration from the places I visit and the people I meet.

I'm also a big believer in making time for the good stuff. Long conversations, a beautifully made spicy margarita, good company and, given the right music, being the last one standing on the dance floor. Balance, right?

I have a habit of collecting creative hobbies, too. My latest is pottery, because apparently spending my working days making things beautiful wasn't quite enough.

I'm naturally creative, decisive, a little particular about the details and a Taurus through and through. Grounded, dependable and, unsurprisingly, drawn to beautiful things. I love a good challenge, a clever find and figuring out how to make something work.

These days, I'm all about making room for the things that matter most. Family, adventure, meaningful work and a life that feels full without being constantly busy.

And while plenty has changed over the years, that little girl who couldn't stop rearranging her bedroom is still very much here.

Just with two kids, a veggie garden and a cocktail in hand.

Anyway, that's a little about me. Lovely to have you here.

Have a question? I'm all ears x
