Who says you can’t have a garden when you live in an apartment? Illura in West Melbourne by Elenberg Fraser.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love the boho meets faded vintage, meets real life in the city vibe of this East Village, NY apartment by FIG Interior Design. I love how the living area transitions to dining and kitchen. I love a stylish open plan. I love the layers of detail, the textures, the little things, the cherished things, the clutter of things. I love that you can see lamp cords and that the sheets aren’t steamed wrinkle free for the shoot. I love seeing rooms by day and as the light fades. I love the personality and the panache. I love the drama of dark walls and the play of flames in the fireplace.When I daydream of living in New York this will be the place I do it in.

I’m still trying to escape the mid week blues. This time I’m off to Drift House in Port Fairy Victoria. Unique, individual, bespoke. The choice of four apartments contained within the original 19th century building and its very modern addition. Design by award winning architectural firm Multiplicity.

It may be perfectly formed It may be stylish. They may compare it to Coco Chanel. A little black dress. One thing is for sure. This Potts Point, Sydney apartment (2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a prime location) has a high end couture price tag. $3.75 million AUD. Yes that’s millions. Gasp. I just choked on my Chanel pearl necklace. Link here will it lasts.

First home buying in Australian capital cities can sometimes mean sad, down at heels 70s apartments (or 60s or 80s… you know what I mean). Cheap and often larger than their modern counterparts the temptation is to paint, change the flooring, slap up some white tiles in the bathroom and figure out how to fit in an IKEA kitchen. Not in this case. Here’s how you bring the 70s right up to date. Not your everyday cookie cutter first apartment. Stalking a funky pad in Armadale, Melbourne. Link here while it lasts.
