More hot Singapore design. We've focused on apartments before but there are a lucky few who possess that most valuable of quantities on this populous island state .... land no matter how small. These stunning conservation architecture homes are in Singapore's conservation zones. Many are shop houses but behind their immaculately preserved historical facades hide stunning modern homes where every square inch is devoted to living life well. All were designed by one of South-East Asia's leading architectural firms ONG&ONG. Beautiful, considerate of heritage and spatially clever! More after the jump.

When your house is tall and very narrow you need to think a little differently. Skinny has never looked so sexy (and I definitely don't mean whippet thin super models). I've been stalking in probably my favourite street in Australia, Brunswick St, Fitzroy and look what I found! Right in the heart of the action and that view! What would make it more perfect would be setting up a business downstairs and living above the shop. I've always had that dream. More after the jump.

Hi again just popping back with more sweet pictures. Isn't that top bedroom so bright and light! Daydreamy. Lovely shots by photographer Shae Rocco. So crisp, so fresh. Enjoy!

Tomorrow is the first day of Spring in my neck of the woods. YAY! Loving the sweet floral vignettes by stylist Christopher White of Whiteslate. He's got a look that is modern mixed with just enough nature to bring a smile to your face and plenty of colour. Enjoy a short break with some pretty pictures. Another quickie soon.

"This is Saga on her favorite spot."
- Maria (Sweden)

"It's my one year old English Springer Spaniel Rubee. He's hyper so look carefully cause you mightn't see any other pictures of him sitting still ;)"
- Rokoko

"This is my springer spaniel in my chair that I had recovered with fabric by StudioBon.  (He probably thinks he's helping me work- the chair is in my office.)"
- Kady

"Here is a picture of my two cats, Mary and Mabel in the living room of our cottage in Muskoka. Mary is on the coffee table and Mabel is lounging on the floor. I've also attached another picture of all three of our cats in the same room. Bodoni is on the chair, Mary's on the table and Mabel is on the floor."
- Jenny (Toronto)

''This is Troy, he's two years old and throughout his life we have bought 3 dog beds, that have ended up being bitten and broken by him, I guess he just wants to tell us that he is more comfortable in our furniture. We bought this pair of chairs in a rage of madness, are made of leather and were a bit expensive, but have been worth every penny because our friends like them and feel comfortable in them''
- Teresa (Guadalajara, Mexico)

"Our cats, Six and Buster, are brothers - they love sleeping next to (or on top of) each other on whatever soft surface they can find (bed, blanket, couch, lap).  Here they are curled up on our living room armchair, which goes well with the rusty orange color of their fur!"
- Megan

"Here's photo of Only napping on lazy sunday afternoon on my favorite side of the bed, on my favorite throw blanket!"
- Ed (Auckland, New Zealand)

"the kitty was snoozing on the bed when kira usurped her. the kitty (always called kitty although her official name is midge/skittles - there was some family disagreement) is a five year-old cat and kira is an eleven year-old siberian husky cockapoo cross."
- Danika (Edmonton, Alberta)
  

Last week I had to hurriedly pull down this post. Why? Because the house made the cover of Belle magazine and its designer needed to keep it under wraps for just a few more days. The issue is out today and now we can all see why Greg Natale is one of this country's hottest designers. Thanks again Greg for sharing ... last week and this week!

I hope you didn't think glam was dead. Not when this harbour side Sydney home is packed with Oz-glam chic. Interior designer Greg Natale has proven again that he knows how to mix Hollywood Regency with a laidback Australian vibe (who ever thought that concrete breeze block could look so good?!). This home is no showroom vignette though. It's real living for a real family. Mind you we don't all have that fabulous Balmain harbour view! Recently on the cover of (inside) a little birdie tells me it is in the next it has now made the cover of Belle. Thanks Greg for sending all the pictures and congrats to photographer Anson Smart for the fabulous shots.  So much more after the jump!
