Autumn tones

As if half of our readers didn’t need reminding it’s autumn in that part of the world opposite to me. Striking photography by David Christensen.

Simple

Jason Gibney created this beautifully crafted apartment in Bronte for his family. Minimalist. Streamlined. Honest in its materials. Clever in its use of space. Look closely and you will realize that he has extended into the roof space of his typical “six pack” apartment block. As for the kitchen hidden behind the wall… brilliant! Jason is Managing Associate Director at Sydney architectural firm Tobias Partners. All I wish for (besides the ability to live so simply) is for larger photos! Via the Houses Awards.

  

  

  

Why is this not my kitchen?

Eric Piasecki you cruel photographer. Taking gorgeous pictures of equally gorgeous open shelves. Shame on you teasing a woman of my age!

Magdalena Keck

White, bright and not a Scandinavian in sight. Interior designer Magdalena Keck hails from New York but her work turns its back on the Big Apple glam and looks inwards to hearth and home. It’s clean lined, simple but well considered. Her colour palette is restrained but all the better to provide respite from the bustle and clash of everyday New York life like this Greenwich Village pied à terre, a wonderful retreat.

My kind of anarchy

Wonderful photography by Lesley Unruh. Real and messy and everyday beautiful.
