Saturday again and you know the story. I’ve spent my spare moments flitting from real estate listing to real estate listing during the week. I’m a stalker but I’m fussy. Not quite right, bad photos, I need more photos please, house is amazing furniture is deplorable or no furniture at all! Can’t quite put my finger on it listings with something that has me nodding “yes”. This week’s leftovers include a penthouse terrace with a view of Sydney Harbour to die for, a cosy reading nook, a place to work under the stairs and an autumn leaf hall in Prahran. All via realestate.com.au.

With a palette of whites, creams and greys Dallas based designer Brant McFarlain of R Brant Design has taken a Sante Fe style adobe home built in the 1900s and given it a fresh, sophisticated look without losing its historic appeal. Light oak floors, bespoke joinery, modern furnishings and handcrafted accessories complete the transformation.

Flicking, flicking, flicking through real estate listings. I’m high speed stalking. It needs to catch my eye, hold my attention for more and a few seconds. What’s behind that red door? Love the bespoke cabinetry, the beautifully tiled bathroom. No wonder. This Paddington, Sydney terrace has been renovated by one of my favourite architects Scott Weston. Now I wish I was buying, not stalking. Link here while it lasts.

English antiques and a stiff upper lip tempered and teased by mid-century classics, fab fabrication and colour, great licks of colour. Play spot the Scandinavian icons, Wegner, Saarinen, Iittala, Josef Frank. The new traditionalist that is Ben Pentreath.

Just because I can’t get enough. Bea Mombaers and Items.
