From the man who bought you this…

… there now is this. Ah! Sound the trumpets. Polish up the crown. In the pantheon of photographers this man is king. All hail Martin Löf. Oh my I’m flustered. I’m gushing.  Brilliant yes?

… and pop me into this fabulous room. Oh my. I’m always drawn in by the beauty of ordinary things. And this is very beautiful. From the portfolio of Swedish stylist Tina Hellberg, photography by Idha Lindhag for Elle Interiör.

A Queen Anne Federation home that is. Built c1906 this historic house is imposing with its high ornate plaster ceilings and dark original timber floors. Not trapped in a time warp though. No not at all. A stylish mix of contemporary elegance and period features. With impressive balconies with expansive views and a lush garden it’s a haven in inner city Sydney. A town home that is just as relevant now as it was in 1906. Link here while it lasts. 

As promised. The rustic perfection, the boho confection. Farmhouse in Bourgogne, France by Joséphine Gintzburger. Strong modern elements juxtaposed with bucolic history. Rough luxe meets Parisian flair.

Fashion meets interior design. German mimimalism marries French exuberance. If you have seen the March issue of Livingetc then you too have lost your heart (and mind) to Joséphine Gintzburger‘s Paris apartment. Personality dear readers. A great home is always about personality. Unique, intimate with just a touch of exhibitionist. I’m moving in. I’m bringing just a toothbrush. La maison est parfaite. Très chic.

Stay tuned for my next post. Josephine’s interpretation of rural delight.
