The addiction is spreading. Stalkers are popping up everywhere around the world. Ann from New Zealand emailed with today’s house is in Kingsland, an inner city suburb of Auckland. The 1910 wooden cottage is bursting with personality and urban style. Ann says she could happily gaze at all its loveliness but she is particularly smitten with the pressed metal cupboard in the kitchen. The caviar artwork tickles my fancy too. I remember seeing this one in a magazine. Can anyone remember which one? Link here while it lasts.

I feel like diving into these images. Hold my breath, dive through my computer screen and surface refreshed in rooms that hum with vibrancy and personality. Sometimes just a glimpse of something inspiring and beautiful clears my mind and stirs my design soul. Like interior designer Justine Hugh-Jones‘ new website. Scroll and drink deep, scroll and drink deep. Tumble turn and do it all over again.

Minimalist in the extreme and as far away from a simple shower in a rain forest as you could imagine but that’s all I can think of as I stare in wonder at this bathroom by Dutch interior architects Jasper Jansen and Jeroen Dellensen of i29. The hum of insects and enough humidity from the shower and I’d be there.

A stylish combination of traditional features and colourful contemporary design, this South Yarra renovation by architectural firm Techne packs a punch with personality, colour and a killer art collection. It’s a pared back modern living space that revels in the grand proportions of the old house.  Of course the house looks even more spectacular thanks to the amazing photography by Graeme Boyle.

Sublime. Gasping at its Seriously, seriously lovely. Welcome to my next home. By New York based Ghiora Aharoni.
