You will all know by now that Inside Out is one of our favourite magazines. Packed full of inspiring homes and design ideas. What could be better? Well twice as many issues! Inside Out is now published monthly. To celebrate, managing editor Lee Tran Lam is giving us a sneak peek into two amazing homes featured in the new July issue.

“The images are from a Melbourne home renovation, where everything went suspiciously well! (Yes, that’s right, even that it sounds too good to be true, this project somehow managed to escape budget blowouts and lengthy delays – and it looks really great.) It belongs to the family of Jo and Marcus Fogarty and their Melbourne home’s makeover was overseen by friend, architect and designer Matt Martino. Styling by Emma O’Meara and photography by Nikole Ramsay.”

Aussie readers can pick up their copy of the July Inside Out on Thursday. Don’t fret if you aren’t in Australia because you can read along on  Zinio, Google Play and the Apple Newsstand.

Here goes Nicole of The House Diaries with another newly renovated room in her desperately-in-need of-updating home in Victoria, B.C. I have shared her main floor bathroom and laundry/mudroom, her daughter’s bathroom, and now her kitchen is complete. The transformation is shocking, and OH SO BEAUTIFUL!

This is one of the before photos. EEEKKK!!!! You can see the full pre-reno horror in Nicole’s post, along with details of her decision making and resource lists. I gathered up some of the after photos to share with you all and I am absolutely in awe of how fantastic this looks. Good job Nicole!!!

Take a siesta from work for a few minutes and enjoy some eye candy from the lens of NYC photographer Daniel Seung Lee.

Dark, edgy, masculine. Need a place to stay in the middle of Berlin? Why not Nomads via Suite.030. I’d be fabricating a fantasy life to suit the apartment the entire time I was in residence.

It sits like three boatsheds close to the beach. Walls and windows lift and open, close and slide allowing the outside in and its occupants to reconfigure the space to suit. Simple black exteriors belie the skilfully layered timber interiors. Takapuna Beach, Auckland house by Strachan Group Architects.
