With the temperature starting to drop here I’m drawn to the autumnal tones of these vignettes by stylist Meagan Camp. But of course I couldn’t stay all faded leaves and patinaed walls for long. Beautiful white rooms with hints of spring found their way into my favourites file as well. I think it’s the little details in each shot. I want to linger, turning pages of a book, tossing leaves to see how they land, patting cushions.

Timber joinery like a spine down the back of a gut renovation of this Paddington, Sydney terrace house. Providing storage and screening, room definition and warm wooden tones to the stark white shell.  Design by Bennett and Trimble. Photography by Peter Bennetts.

The autumn days are warm in my part of the world. A chill nips at bare arms only as the sun starts to move low in the west. Perfect weather for an outdoor fireplace. You can linger in the late afternoon air, not wanting to go in, for the day to end, for doors to be closed and night time rituals of dinner and kids’ baths to begin. Moore House by Neil Architecture.

The Cubo House, additions to a heritage listed double storey building by Melbourne architecture firm Phooey. Why Cubo? “The project applies the surrealist technique of “Cubomania” to catalogue, re-use & re-invent the demolished building materials.” The stand out feature of the new space? The staircase which spirals up and down through three levels topped by a creative re-use chandelier.

Retrolicious brought back to life in Aldgate in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. This 70’s architect designed home (Hassell & Partners) has been lovingly brought back to life by the current owners. True to its groovy heritage baby without too much cliché creeping in. Just wish the majority of the photos were as good as the few that were obviously taken for editorial or portfolio reasons. A big thanks to Deb for stalking this brown brick beauty for us. Would it surprise you that I want to move in? Link here while it lasts.
