Warm and bright, classic and timeless. A gorgeous renovation of a West Village duplex by wellness architect Pippa Lee of Pip + Pencil.

I’m still on the hunt for garden inspiration and I’ve found the garden of my city loving dreams. Small but big on impact. Stylish, easy maintenance and perfect for entertaining or just taking time for yourself. The transition between paver to planks to pebbles then grass is genius. A lush and luscious garden by Sydney-based Adam Robinson Design.

I may be in the depths of winter in my part of the world but that doesn’t stop me from daydreaming about the perfect summer garden. To me it’s all about al fresco entertaining, easy care gardening and a dip in the pool on a hot, hot day. A tiny garden gets a big makeover by Perth-based landscape designer Ascher Smith. I can’t believe that pool used to be a trampoline.

Back in 2015 I featured the home of the very talented interiors photographer Debi Treloar, that was available for photo shoots via jj Locations. While perusing their site the other day I noticed it is still listed, but seems to have had a bit of a makeover since my last post. The flooring in the kitchen/living room area is now polished concrete which I LOVE, and the kitchen has a darker, moodier colour palette which I prefer to the previous version. Debi has such a knack for working with vintage finds and maintaining original details. Such a gorgeous home.

Old meets new in this bright, eclectic 100 year old home of designer Jonathan Steinitz and his husband located in Columbus, Ohio. This is what I love to see – people appreciating the history of a home and working hard to restore original features. Here they re-exposed some beautiful worn brick and original hardwood flooring. The white walls really accentuate these elements and some modern mixed with vintage furnishings really add personality.
