At home with Georgie Watts

Tell us the story about your house.. For as long as I've known him, Mez has wanted to convert a warehouse...this one was an online furniture warehouse and a lolly factory in previous incarnations. It was a hideous aqua both inside and out! Awful! I like the minimal, masculine vibe. And the use of recycled timber adds to that. I love that we can open it up, and blur the lines between the outdoor and indoor areas... and though small, I love our veggie patch. We've grown beans for the first time this year, and the kids are really revelling in watching the growth process, from flower to baby veg, to the final edible object!

Describe your style.. I'm pretty low key...my uniform is jeans and stripe tees! I'm always on the hunt for the next pair of perfect jeans. And I love the simplicity of a sharp white man style shirt. Favourite fragrance I love spicy, masculine scents...Clove & Sandalwood, Nag Champa, my signature perfume is Tom Ford Plum Japonais...a mens fragrance, but I love it.

Your perfect day.. Some form of exercise to start, a swim in the sea...cooking and eating with Mez, glass of wine in hand...it's all about simple pleasures really!

Tell us a little about your travel blog 'The Window Seat'? How did it start? A couple of years ago we drove from Sydney to WA across the Nullarbor, and I was disappointed by the lack of resources for families travelling cross country. I thought I could document the trip to show friends and family, and perhaps help out other families along the way. We do lots of domestic travel, lots of road trips, and I love the thrill of discovering new places. I think it's so important to see as much of our own country as we can; it's so vast and varied, and a country with so much natural beauty.

Your favourite place to visit and where to next? We love the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia, it's definitely our fave Australian destination. The beaches are incredible, and child friendly, there are excellent restaurants, cafes, and wineries, and you're a short drive to the Adelaide CBD. Next on our itinerary is a road trip up the East Coast, from Sydney to Noosa. I've never been to Noosa before, and I'm super excited to explore the National Parks.
