You know the sort of place. It’s a tiny enclave just outside a major city. Up along the coastline. There are only a limited number of houses and hardly anyone sells. Fisherman’s shacks and family beach homes, the occasional misplaced McMansion. Little diamonds in the rough waiting to be transformed. Interior designer Brett Mickan has taken a simple, unpretentious holiday home and created a colourful beach retreat. Fun and fresh and stylish without being too precious. Just right for summer fun.

There’s a joy to photographer Sara Landstedt‘s work. It’s obvious she loves what she does. It shows in her photographs, There’s an energy, a lightness. Enjoy!

I really want to like this house. I know if I walked through the door I would be smitten. Love the green in the kitchen, the outdoor areas, the dining room (looking from there to the kitchen but not the other way) and the ensuite. Just hate the pictures. They’re putting me off. Anyone in Sydney want to sneak into this Palm Beach home and take better snaps for me? You know… one stalker to another. Link here while it lasts.

I always like to see what people have hidden at the back of their houses. Extensions and additions give me unexplained pleasure when I’m real estate stalking. particularly when a modern design is hiding behind a traditional facade. And if this extension just happens to be a glass sided box with a killer futuristic fireplace? Then it’s a winner in my book. Prahran, Melbourne house for sale here while the link lasts.
