Simple sophistication, big impact. Foyer by Mark D. Sikes.

Exposed brick and knotty pine cathedral ceilings, split level with walls of windows framing the views of native bush. I’m stalking the 70s in Sydney’s Castle Cove. The Erby House by Jonathan Erby of Devine Erby Mazlin completed 1971. A time capsule waiting to swing again. In my dreams I’m the new owner filling it full of 70s classics and inviting you all round for a fondue party. (If it ever was mine, hand on my heart, I would promise not to paint anymore of the pine.) Via Modern House.

Sophisticated and colourful punctuated with statement pieces and graphic art this New York apartment by The New Design Project oozes Big Apple style. Tailored, bright with light and with just enough drama. Need more? Then check out Kim’s previous posts here and here.

I want to soak in that tub up under the eaves watching the clouds scoot across the sky above my head. The simple pleasures in life. Bathroom by Manhattan based interior designer Ashley Darryl.
