Do you find you collect more and more inspiration photos the more you are delayed in your renovation plans? I certainly do! As most of you will know I live in an 1860’s brick colonial but most of you will not know that our only bathroom is way down the back of the house in the old stables. Oh the foibles of an old house, old plumbing and old renovations completed half way through the 20th century when expediency and low cost were the words of choice for bathroom renovations. What I would really really love for our new upstairs bathroom is something just like these amazing bathrooms by Australian interior designer Justine Hugh-Jones.

Like a series of stage sets or a a ramble of rooms filled with one man’s dreams and treasure Rooigem House in Sint-Kruis, Belgium is the creation of antiques dealer and designer Jean-Phillipe Demeyer. The medieval manor with moat has been lovingly restored and now is home and business. The riot of colour and pattern and OTT pieces make it a sensory delight. Imagine visiting in real life. Where to look. What to touch.

My imagination is spirally out of control. What an amazing image! What an amazing staircase! Photography by Mel Yates.

We have featured Brit photographer Jake Curtis before but don’t you just love it when you revisit a website to find so much more. My photographer crush continues.

I have a stalking partner. Her name is Anne. We’ve never met. She stalks alone, I stalk alone as all good stalkers do but Anne is generous. She shares her targets with me. Like this cute little Darlinghurst, Sydney house. I think we need to buy it so we can meet up in Sydney every so often and stalk property in real life. Oh! That’s called attending open for inspections isn’t it? Link here while it lasts.
