Kim and I get to share some of the most inspirational homes from around the world but the best homes of all are our readers’ homes. I loved it when long time follower Jagoda Owczarek from Gdańsk, Poland sent us photos of the home she shares with her husband, 3 children and cat. Design has always been her passion and now having completed her studies she has opened her own business O!studio. If her stylish home is anything to go by then she will have nothing but success.

This 5 story Park Slope, New York townhouse is perfectly eclectic. There a bit of mid-century, Scandinavian, art deco, bohemian…I love a good mash-up! Stunning from top to bottom. Designed by Damon Liss.

I will always be a fan of mid-century style homes. Their open concept, angled ceilings and large windows make for such dramatic spaces. This home was built in 1955 and had never been renovated. Mark Ashby Design and Rick +Cindy Black Architects worked together to bring this home back to life, adding terrazzo floors throughout, redesigned the kitchen + sunken den + bathrooms and added a bathing sunroom.

Real estate stalking and what did I find? A quick six fab properties in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. Click on the picture to be taken to the listing. All via realestate.com.au.

It’s small, it’s old and dare I say a little rickety but it’s packed full of character and life. Add in a killer central Sydney location and a fabulous Aboriginal art collection and I’m hooked. (How retrolicious is that Albert Namatjira prints vignette on the landing?) The land size is only 76m² and the auction price guide is $1.6 million so I won’t be buying but I can dream I’m the current owner and not the one who will buy it and redevelop it. For sale in Darlinghurst here while the link lasts.
