Close your eyes. Relax. Sleep will come. Like floating softly in a sea of green. Beautiful photography by Brie Williams.

P.S. To see the alternative view of this room (featured a couple of times on this blog) go to my original post here.

There is a connection. A physical tug at my heart strings. There is an acknowledgement, an empathy, an understanding. There is also envy. These rooms speak to me in calm, steady but persistent whispers. Enter. Be still. Dream. Interiors by Wick Design.

Cool, calm and collected. Not quite. More like colourful, vibrant and fun. Zest and zing from Perth-based interior design firm Collected. Family homes with style and personality. Modern mixes with rustic, touches of industrial sit well with texture and tribal and all meet with a splash of colour and a dash of midcentury. Just the way Australians love to live.

Late summer in Sweden. Seamlessly connecting with sky and sea and rock. A summer house but definitely no shabby shack. Contemporary luxury. Ah the perfect escape. Kristiansand Summer House by New York and Oslo based Heiberg Cummings Design.

Climb the stairs from the bluestone lane way in Richmond, Melbourne. Certainly can’t miss the street number. From the ground floor all the way up to the heated pool on the third this modern townhouse is a great example of contemporary inner city style. What would normally leave me screaming for more… more personality, more layering, more sympathetic photos… is saved  by what I always love in a home… more art. Although I am suspicious that this is styled for sale and not an actual home (no fridge in the kitchen) I’m sure we can figure something else to keep the drinks cold when we party on the roof during the open for inspections 😉 Link here while it lasts.
