A drop-dead gorgeous location home

Posted on Tue, 27 Sep 2016 by KiM

What can I say about this drop-dead gorgeous location home from 1st Option other than it’s scrumptious from end to end, top to bottom, inside and out. Every wall colour used is spot on, the kitchen is so spacious and THAT ISLAND!, and I really have no words for that bedroom, ensuite and walk-in closet. UN. REAL. 

Potts Point Apartment

Posted on Tue, 27 Sep 2016 by midcenturyjo

I love Potts Point. I think it’s my favourite Sydney suburb. Full of history, close to the action and with that frisson of seediness meets money. The perfect base for exploring the harbour city. Now if I could just organise a few days away instead of daydreaming in front of my computer screen I might just have to stay in this fabulous apartment available through Contemporary Hotels. A stylish marriage of old and new.

A masculine apartment in Berlin

Posted on Mon, 26 Sep 2016 by KiM

I mentioned in this post last week that I am pretty much head over heals for interior designer Hubert Zandberg. There is no stopping his incredible talent, so here is another one of his latest projects. It is a masculine, earth-toned apartment in Mitte, Berlin and everything is so sooooooooooo good.

I like all pets and this is my dog Vee, a female german shepherd and she loves sharing the sofa with me and sometimes my bed, too.

This is Schumi discovering our new house… How fluffy?
– Marie (Belgium (City of Liège))

Well, not exactly furniture… We noticed a dim light in the laundry room as we were heading off to bed a couple nights ago. When we went to investigate, this is what we found. I had apparently not closed the dryer door earlier in the evening and our 4-year-old brown tabby, Maisie, decided to test the fluff factor in our clean clothing.

One from me. Now that fall weather has started, the cats are now snuggling with each other much more. This is a scene the other day of Phoebe and Lucky together on my new-to-me Victorian chair.

My sister Jen sent me this photo the other day of her lonely cat Carl. Since Carl’s sick buddy Minnie was put down recently, he’s been depressed and lonely so I am happy to say that yesterday they brought home TWO cats from the Humane Society to keep Carl company. Photos of Spencer and Zoe coming ASAP 🙂

I snapped this photo of Carl yesterday at my niece’s birthday party. It was hilarious – he couldn’t keep his eyes open.

A designer’s home

Posted on Mon, 26 Sep 2016 by midcenturyjo

I love to see how designers live, how they interpret their design manifesto in their personal spaces. Atlanta-based Jayme Armour has filled her small bungalow with colour, pattern and texture, layer upon layer creating a dramatic yet comfortable cocoon. Personality and playfulness aplenty with bold colours and a mix of high end and found. Yet with all this exuberance the rooms are balanced and considered.
