Everything Katie Lydon touches turns to gold. Not literally of course, but I think all of these spaces she has designed deserve gold stars. Each one is an absolute gem. And this folks, is your Friday eye candy. (Coincidentally while talking about gold, I just had a home delivery of 2 faaaaaaabulous brass vintage items from Greystone Fine Furniture that I will have to photograph tomorrow in daylight and share on Instagram)

Not my usual English country kitchen crush but I’m loving this kitchen by Dutch interior design team Nicemakers. Industrial yet earthy. The glimpses of the rest of the house are pretty fab too.

Gutting this Sydney beachside house back to structural columns and beams Madeleine Blanchfield Architects then set about creating, in their words, “a home that was whimsical, calm, inspiring, slightly quirky and deeply personal.” It’s big and bold yet intimate and informal, a luxurious take on the beach living. A cutting edge home that will become a classic.

The more we feature “modern farmhouses” the more I think this is my ideal home. The perfect blend of modern and rustic in a gorgeous country setting so the house is bathed in sunlight all day long with tree branches casting shadows and providing greenery through every window. This one is definitively on the modern side compared to most we have shared here and I do love some rustic elements but that glorious backyard oasis, tile floor in the kitchen and massive master bedroom and ensuite make up for it. By the mega talented architecture/design firm Simo Design. (More here!)

You know me. I do love a good kitchen. Just like this one by Jeff Trotter Design.
