A Parisian trinket

A trifle, a trinket, a gem of a studio apartment by Marianne Evennou… chez Duncan… 25m²… Paris. Bigger is not always better.

Stalking reality TV episode 1

Posted on Mon, 22 Sep 2014 by midcenturyjo

How do you describe one of Australia’s most popular reality TV shows? I cheated and consulted Wikipedia.

The Block is an Australian reality television series broadcast on the Nine Network. The series follows four or, more recently, five couples as they compete against each other to renovate houses and sell them at auction for the highest price.

Except this time it’s an old office block they gut and convert into 5 apartments. I’ve been stalking and the latest Block renos are listed ready for auction. Welcome to Dee and Darren’s apartment. Link here while it lasts.

Apartment remodel

I love the deep window recesses which mean wide ledges for perching. I love the holes above the radiator. I love the pull down screen/blind for lazy Sunday afternoon movie watching but most of all I love that this is a cool family home, full shelves and chalk wall scrawl and all.

Baixa House

Posted on Thu, 11 Sep 2014 by midcenturyjo

A home away from home. Perhaps I should say an apartment. Baixa House in Lisbon, Portugal is a boutique hotel of individual self-catering apartments over several floors, each with its own stylish interior. Bright white walls, scrubbed floors, vintage finds and beautiful light flooding in. Forget the holiday. I’d want to live there permanently. Via Welcome Beyond.

Stalking wee white

Small and white, clean and bright…. ooops that’s a couple of lines from the song Edelweiss but if they truly applied to this Woollahra, Sydney garden apartment you’d have to include stylish, layered, textured and sold. Too late with this stalking I fear. Link here while it lasts.
