The second of today’s stalking targets. Just moments from the other house but so different. A worn patina to its facade and a country meets artist meets historical meets faded charm feel. Favourite rooms? I’d love to sit and gossip with friends over a large pot of tea in the kitchen and my inner crafter is coveting the craft room. So which one could you live in? I’m leaning towards… hum… this one. Link here while it lasts.

I’m stalking two houses in Paddington, Sydney today. Both Victorian era terrace houses just a few blocks apart but at opposite ends of the style spectrum. Here’s number one. A corner terrace with an elegant, contemporary feel but still with loads of period features. Love the kitchen with its easy access to the garden. Wait until you stalk the second terrace with me then let me know which one is your favourite. I bet you’ll be able to pick mine. Link here while it lasts.

Sometimes mother nature does the best accessorising. Beauty captured by photographer Francesco Lagnese.

My first question on seeing this project by 3rd UNCLE was “If this is the pool house what is the house like?!” My next question was “How do they get the guests to go home?” Almost simultaneously I was wondering when I was moving in. An oasis at the end of the garden with just enough mid century references to keep me happy. Sadly 3rd UNCLE is no more. The good news? It is now three firms… +tongtong Arriz & Co and Paul Syme architect.
