You may know her as the woman behind one of the coolest online stores Papa Stour but Rosie Brown is a super talented stylist and art director in her other life. With a background in textile design Rosie moved on to interior and lifestyle projects. Her amazing work has featured in the Sunday Times Style magazine, Homes & Gardens, Elle Deco and Living Etc. Love her style, just love. Check out her portfolio. It’s a must see.

Steven Stewart and Ian Wrightson are co-directors of PHORM Interiors, an interior design firm located in Red Hill, Brisbane. With studio out front, the pair’s home behind the shop is cool, funky and pulsing with a modern vibe in an old colonial building. I could easily have titled this “I want to live here”. Love their portfolio and equally love their blog where they showcase their work, their fav design pieces and fabulous finds. Design is alive and blossoming in Brisbane and PHORM is at the forefront.

Time to real estate stalk in my home town again. I love this townhouse in inner city New Farm. The T1 apartments are a complex of 9 designed by award winning architects Donovan Hill. I’m in love with this space. Just wish the real estate agent had included more pictures. I might just have to pretend to be a buyer so I can get a showing. It’s a shame that prices are so outrageous here at the moment.

Husband and wife photographers Gentl & Hyers have a way with light that takes me back to the works of the Old Masters. Chiaroscuro, light and shade, positive and negative. The air is thick in their photos like treacle and colours have a tangible presence. It’s like the photos are caught in amber or that the white light is thick like milk. Beautiful portfolio. Their black and white work is a must see.

Eric Prokesh “finds that borrowing from the past is crucial to his work – a deliberate decision that helps him make something new.” Named as one of H&G’s “50 Tastemakers” his portfolio covers French Classical to Mid-century Modern. The colours of these rooms are so beautiful, so fresh, the rooms themselves so luxe but simply elegant. Using colours not usually associated with the fine antiques he uses draws the eye to these lovely pieces.
