Nestled on the serene banks of kanamaluka / Tamar River stands a charming homewares store as a testament to a life dedicated to creativity and passion. This picturesque spot isn’t just any store, it marks the culmination of a remarkable 30-year journey in the world of artistry and design for its owner, Karen Bugelli.
The story begins over three decades ago, when a young, eager entrepreneur opened the doors to a humble homewares store on the Gold Coast in Queensland. With a keen eye for detail and an innate love for beauty, she quickly turned this little shop into a local favourite. It was a treasure trove of unique and desirable pieces, each item carefully chosen to transform houses into homes. But the journey was far from linear. As the years went by, Karen discovered an unexpected yet profound passion for floral design. This newfound love blossomed into an illustrious career, leading to the establishment of multiple top-tier florist stores. With an unparalleled flair for arranging flowers that told stories and evoked emotions, the florist soon garnered acclaim, winning numerous awards and cementing a reputation as one of Tasmania’s finest. Despite this success in the floral industry, there was a persistent, gentle pull back to the original passion: homewares. The tranquil beauty of the Tamar River, with its whispering waters and scenic vistas, seemed to call for a return to roots. It was time to bring together the worlds of home decor and floral artistry in a harmonious blend. Today, My Tasmanian Home is a curated space of elegance and charm. It offers a collection that is as unique as its journey – from hand-picked vintage items to contemporary pieces that cater to modern tastes. Each product is chosen with the same meticulous care and artistic eye that defined the floral designs Karen created. In addition to these exquisite finds, the store proudly features a line of branded My Tasmanian Home products. For those who visit the store it is more than a shopping experience. Walking through, one can feel the history, as it was an old butcher shop for many years and then a pizza store. Karen has created a gorgeous space, beautifully curated from front to back. Whether you’re looking to adorn your home with something special or simply seeking inspiration, this store offers a little piece of magic and is a must-see on your visit to the north. It’s only 20 minutes’ drive from Launceston.
