Saturday stalking
Sat, 5 Nov 2011
The weekend has once again rolled round. Time to sit in coffee shops, newspaper in hand. Pass me the real estate section please. I wonder what I can't afford this week. Look! This one is open for inspection. We can drop round before we pick up the groceries. Darlinghurst. THAT close to the centre of Sydney. If only! I wonder if they'd leave behind their collection of art. I love that Ben Quilty skull painting and the contemporary Chinese art is rather good too. I want that little corner with the Chinese console, the grid of art and the marvelous mess of the owner's favourite pieces. Maybe I can afford that much. Link here while it lasts.

Wow! What a spectacular home! Good thing I live in the U.S. Oh, yeah and can't afford it. ( = So glad to at least get to see it!
Happy for you to have the elm table if I can have those utterly ridickerous lamps on the lacquered one!

Such a great space. I litterally studied it to find what it is that makes me so impressed. I love the choice of furniture and art pieces and their placement is key. There is a feeling of balance, cohesion and warmth. A lot going on and at the same time everything belongs. And for me, no stark white anywhere but warm colors. Thanks for sharing this beauty.
Can anyone guess what that "thing" is lying on the bed? I´m intrigued...
The outside areas alone are so charming. Also, great are collection.
absolutely love the decor on your blog!! thanks for sharing:)

I like the skull painting
Money well spent - some great art
I have this insane fantasy where I just pack it all in and move to some exotic new locale. The husband, the baby, and the dog keep my feet firmly planted where I am. Not to mention the sheer nightmare of actually packing it all (a necessary step to packing it all in). Oh, but the fantasy. Thanks for giving me a new locale for my daydreams!
