OMG! OTT! If only I could find myself lounging the day away at this riotous riad. A pleasure palace, a hedonist hideaway, a haven of over-indulgence. Too much? Never! Another gob smackingly wonderful location from the Hi-Location agency.

The latest issue of Inside Out magazine is here and it’s full of yummy room candy and inspiration. Managing editor Lee Tran Lam kindly sent over some pics from the story on NZ fashion dynamo Karen Walker‘s home. Wow! I’m a sucker for anything by Vico Magistretti and those red dining chairs are amazing. The stylist on the story was Katie Lockhart and photographer Emma Bass. On page 41 you’ll even find a little piece on Desire to Inspire. I’m doing a happy dance because I’m in one of my favourite magazines! Thanks for featuring us Inside Out.

P.S. Don’t forget if you live outside Australia you don’t have to miss out on one of the best interiors magazines around. You can subscribe through Zinio.

Couldn’t resist featuring another apartment on the books at locations agency Hi-Location. White and wood, wallpaper and vintage. I’d hire it for a photo shoot and never want to leave.

White on white with archways of light. Really couldn’t get any better. A fabulous apartment from locations agency Hi-Location. Rugged brick walls, stunning windows and stylish contemporary furniture. The best of European venues and locations from this young, dynamic Milan based agency.

Richard Leplastier is a significant force in Australian architecture and education. His is a gentle force though. His buildings respond not only to the physical site but the spirit of place. A simple but deeply meaningful relationship to home and land and culture. Angophora House is in Avalon, Sydney, home to a builder who has crafted other Leplastier designs. It is not often I stumble upon such gems while real estate stalking. A series of pavilions sits gently on the slope in intimate contact with a grove of Angophora trees. Relaxed and natural it is none the less highly designed and carefully formed. At one with its environment. Peaceful. Gentle. Beautiful. Link here while it lasts.
