Swedish born designer Anna-Carin McNamara of Sydney design firm Anna Carin Design has taken an historic terrace house in Bondi junction and filled it full of stylish Scandinavian goodness with just enough Australian contemporary style to make it a perfect fit for modern, metropolitan living. Form, function and flair. Love it!

Uniquely warm and real. Throw open the door and be welcomed into these family friendly homes brimming with personality. Think modern with vintage, colour and liveability. Whether rescuing a home from the bungalow blues or finding the right mix of rustic and contemporary, these interiors designed by Regan Baker are big on the individual style.

Take a creative brush to a blank canvas. With painterly strokes apply the colours of life. A landscape to live in, a portrait of the occupants. A graceful vignette, a subtly sublime still life. Beautiful homes by Betsy Brown. Neutral palettes informed by careful colour. Classical and modern, delicate and elegant yet never precious.

What would a round up of my favourite posts be without a few talented Australians?
