A second look inside the pages of the latest issue of Inside Out. Too cool! Lee Tran again…

And then there’s the late 19th-century rabbiter’s cottage that has been rescued from its state as an office and turned into a gorgeous vintage-industrial home by fashion designer Claire Tregoning and cinematographer Tim Tregoning. They renovated it in “little blocks” over nearly three years and it probably didn’t hurt that a lot of the features in the home were designed by Claire’s brother-in-law, Rory Unite, who works as a furniture designer and artist. That amazing bed was created by Rory out of recycled timber and given a rustic charm with a few paintbrush coats of white. Styling by Nicole Valentine Don and photography by Fiona Galbraith.

Don’t forget Aussie readers can pick up their copy of the October Inside Out on Thursday. Don’t fret if you aren’t in Australia because you can read along on  Zinio, Google Play and the Apple Newsstand.

October’s issue of Inside Out hits the stands on Thursday and I’m excited. Managing editor Lee Tran Lam has sent us not one but two sneak peeks.

… the home of Table Tonic blogger and shop owner Louise Bell and her architect husband Graeme Bell. It’s located on Sydney’s northern beaches and is a modernist design by architect Loyal Alexander, who originally lived there. By the time that Graeme came across the home, four families had lived there since. “They were marketing it as a ‘knock-it-down-and-build-two’, which horrified us,” said Graeme Bell. Luckily, his family moved in and saved that from happening. Readers will be able to visit this residence on Wednesday October 29, when it hosts our latest ‘Open For Inspection’ house tour, as led by editor Claire Bradley and ISCD educator and our panel’s style expert Lisa Koehler. Tickets will be available at Moshtix from Thursday. Styling by Jason Grant and photography by Harold David.

A home built with layers. Collections and treasured possessions. Textures. Subtle palette lifted with splashes of colour. Art and a sense of personality. A house with soul. By Barcelona based design firm Luzio.

One more from the TV show The Block. Michael and Carlene’s apartment features warm exposed brick walls, slick kitchen and a generally panned main bathroom, the weak link in an otherwise well resolved space. Link here while it lasts.

P.S. You can find the remaining 2 apartments for sale here and here.

Welcome to my second reality TV stalking. Brothers Shannon and Simon’s apartment this time. For those of you who don’t know the contestants start with a fixed budget and vouchers from certain suppliers/sponsors. Each week they compete to complete the best room, winning more money to help with following rooms. No wins and the budget gets tight by the end of the build. What starts as high end may rapidly drop to low. See more over on The Block. In the meantime the real estate listing is here while it lasts.
