When stalking makes you jealous

Posted on Mon, 19 Sep 2016 by midcenturyjo

By now you’ll know that I have a thing for old houses. Give me a home with a little history and character over a modern build any day. It seems obvious that I would like this little cottage in Sydney’s inner east and yes it does tick the boxes for me but… I’m having trouble concentating on the house at all. I’ve been bewitched by the art collection. OMG! What I wouldn’t do to get my grubby, greedy mits on those glorious canvases. The house could be a hovel and I’d still want to move in. Can I buy the collection instead of the house do you think? Link here while it lasts.

Stalking the Yellow House

Posted on Mon, 19 Sep 2016 by midcenturyjo

I’m stalking the redevelopment of Sydney’s historic Yellow House, part art gallery, part artists’ collective and home to the city’s bohemians… at least it was until the mighty dollar saw the building morphing into modern (read expensive) apartment living. Still this one bedroom abode is no bland wall flower, celebrating its colourful past with Zaha Hadid wallpaper, Kreon light fittings and kaleidoscopic bathroom. Link here while it lasts.

When bits of colour shine against white

Posted on Sun, 18 Sep 2016 by KiM

I love this Victorian home I found via jj Locations. Bright white walls and painted floors make the perfect backdrop for subtle bits of colours added through vintage mid century chairs, art, a touch of wallpaper and accessories. Yes, I apparently have a thing with Victorian homes in the UK. They are always fabulous. 

Working on a Saturday

Posted on Sat, 17 Sep 2016 by midcenturyjo

It’s like I say week after week. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it better be somewhere stylish. Oh my! I’d love to work here. A former chocolate factory in Berlin now home to an online card game company by Munich-based architectural firm IFUB*.

Accents in pink (again) by Peter Wilds

Posted on Fri, 16 Sep 2016 by KiM

Earlier this week I featured an apartment by Peter Wilds that had a gorgeous pink accent wall and had a decidedly feminine flair to it. This apartment speaks to the same feminine vibe with ethnic and modern furniture mixed together, some glam bits and of course, accents in pink. It’s gorgeous, bright and inviting. Even if you are not a chick. 🙂 (Photos: Janis Nicolay)
