There’s no denying we’re obsessed with the photography of Paul Raeside. He’s been featured here countless times and I don’t know about you but I just can’t get enough. Enjoy. 🙂

Only a really great photographer can make something ugly look beautiful. Exhibit A:

I shared this project by interior architect & designer Jessica Zavaglia, a little over a year ago. She emailed the other day to share another project she worked on with us. The residence is a 2 bedroom workers cottage in Enmore, Sydney. The front rooms were beautiful as is usually the case but the back was a series of small and oddly arranged and propertied rooms that had no relationship to the garden. The little bathroom was at the back blocking the living room from the garden. The owner and the architect after much deliberation made the decision to demolish the back of the house put to the 2 front rooms. This allowed us to completely rearrange the new rear extension the way it should be. Now the new bathroom is in the middle of the house and it has a separate bath and laundry inside. There is a large open plan kitchen dining living area that is a comfortable unified space. We incorporated a study into the joinery not to take up a bedroom and we kept the existing part of the house as more of an intimate space with rich wallpaper down one corridor wall. What a beautiful little home! The wallpaper at the entrance is a fun and bold way to kick things off, and the bits of colour through the main living space adds interest and is a simple way to delineate a space. And a smart touch – the tiny window in the office! Thanks Jessica! (Architect: Danny Broe Architect, Interior Architect: Jessica Zavaglia, Graduate Architect: Christina Sunario, Builders: AK&SB Construction, Photographer: Karina Illovska)

There is a softness, an almost like velvet, to photographer David Woolley‘s work. Love the composition, the angles the way he works with light, the diversity of his portfolio. Inspiring.

My new bathroom plans are gathering momentum. I find myself still gathering images in my inspiration file. Can’t stop. Bath or shower or both? Double sinks for the morning rush? Tiled to the ceiling or a softer look with lots of the old walls on show? Heated flooring or lovely old boards?

WOW do I ever love this home! Rustic barn-look on the outside, soaring beamed ceilings on the inside in my favourite colour palette of black, white and browns, featuring a modern vibe mixed with global treasures. It’s pretty much perfection. I’d even take the gorgeous dog. This is the home of cinematographer Darius Wolski photographed by Martin Löf.
