You all know I like a Victorian era house. Brick or stone is even better. Gritty, old suburb perfect. Add a modern extension and I’m weak at the knees. Well this beauty in Melbourne’s Cremorne has one more thing that has turned me into a salvering mess … a fabulous Papua New Guinea tribal art collection. How much for the house and contents? When can I move in? Link here while it lasts.

Today’s second offering is a designer’s own family home at the foot of Montmarte in Paris. A daring home where vintage references, personal creations and neoclassical French sculptures coexist. An elegant home but with a twist, a sense of drama, of cool.  Pigalle by French superstar interior designer Tristan Auer.

Right about now I’m dreaming about an unlimited budget where I could buy allllllllll the art. It seems whoever owns this apartment is lucky enough to have a really impressive art collection that takes centre stage. Brazilian firm Studio Ro+Ca helped to really make them shine.

When a designer created spaces that are pieces of art. This is the Bellechasse, Paris apartment of Joseph Dirand. It is elegant, refined, somewhat minimal, perfectly executed.

I’m still in London and I’m still lamenting the fact that I can’t afford anything at all but a girl can still live vicariously through real estate listings. I must say that I could move straight into this split level apartment in an old print works factory in East Central London between Old Street and Clerkenwell. Exposed beams, bold blue kitchen and great art. Love it all.  Mitchell Street, London EC1 via The Modern House.
