Seriously

Seriously cool design by Serbian architectural firm Sinestezia. Clever storage, sexy room dividers and a clean modern palette. Ideas to steal here readers. A family home that adapts and changes to this young family’s needs. Love it!

  

  

  

Freedom

Let me say first that this is a sponsored post. YES!!!!! I love a sponsored post especially if it involves a flight to Sydney, a fab city suite, a day to shop till I drop (my money not theirs boohoo) and then an invite to the launch of Freedom‘s autumn collection on Wednesday. Great design and style don’t need a great big price tag to match so I can’t wait to see what Freedom, one of Australia’s leading furniture and homewares purveyors has in store. Promise I’ll let you know as soon as I can. I’m excited!

Kim and I have a thing about church conversions. We’ve committed the deadly sins of lust and envy quite a number of times over the years. (The evidence of our religious obsessions can be found here.) Thanks to reader Paul we can now covet this conversion of the former Tattykeeran Church. It’s even for sale. Maybe your prayers have been answered….. sorry about the bad puns!

Turn your eyes away now if fabulous rooms and inspirational style boards are too much for you first thing in the week. I cannot get enough of Danish stylist Gitte Kjaer’s vibe. Edgy, cool, relaxed but rocking. Even better that her website is full of large, luscious images. Enjoy!

Out on a limb

It’s Saturday and it’s normally WINKS day. Well it was until I lost my WINKS mojo. I’ve tried mixing it up with reading guides. I love reading guides. It’s all about lurking on sites and sharing the blog love. There have been new old house posts and January weekend holidays. Now it’s time to get back to work but I’m having a mental block. I need your help. I need your suggestions. What do you, the readers, want on a Saturday? Monday to Friday is all about desire and inspiration, stylists and photographers, architects and designers. What should the weekends be?

I have one thought that I’d love some feedback on. I’m hoping to make Saturdays a little more interactive. We have such great readers. You are talented and opinionated, generous and have great taste (of course). Some of you are truly gifted professionals and some of your are stylish amateurs. Some of you are lost, looking for inspiration. I’d love to see Saturdays as a day where readers can send in their design problems or questions and the DTI readers can go for it. A reader, let’s call them “A”, sends a picture of their problem. The rest of you, let’s call you “B to Z”, share your ideas, give your opinions, have a voice. Dissect, discuss, shake your head at a horrible room and help find a solution.

So what do you think? It’s time to dissect, discuss, shake your head at a horrible suggestion and help find a solution. WINKS isn’t dead and gone. Fabulous links are always coming in. Reading guides will always be popping up but… What to do with a Saturday? 🙂
