A midcentury cacaphony of colour

Posted on Thu, 19 Aug 2021 by KiM

I continue to be awestruck by the creative genius of Frances Merrill and her firm Reath Design. You will be hard-pressed to find anyone who is willing to go this bold with colour and pattern. Each room is a wilder than the next. SO MUCH FUN! You can read more about it in this Architectural Digest feature. Photos by Laure Joliet.

Subversive Intervention

Posted on Fri, 6 Aug 2021 by midcenturyjo

“Respecting the rich culture and architecture of the building, we seek to restore it’s natural raw beauty, before injecting unexpected moments of contemporary culture, representing the youth of its occupier.”

The designer calls it “Subversive Intervention”. I call this Sydney home by Blainey North  luxury with a touch of rebellion.

The Bank at Vaughan

Posted on Wed, 4 Aug 2021 by midcenturyjo

“Resurrected from a ruinous state, The Bank in Vaughan reclaims its former stature through careful restoration and ‘partnering’ with a new pod extension, adapting from a civic building to the next chapter as a country residence.”

The slate clad pod houses the bathroom, light and bright in contrast to the moody bank interiors where the vibrant blue was informed by remnants of the original colour scheme.  Breathing new life into an old country town. The Bank by Maria Danos Architecture.

Terra-cotta, mustard, green and blue

Posted on Tue, 20 Jul 2021 by KiM

Terra-cotta, mustard, green and blue – such a beautiful array of colours. Since painting my dining room terra-cotta it’s one of my favourite wall colours and to walk into a home and immediately be surrounded by it….*sigh*. This entire home I just want to eat it up – especially the yellow kitchen. Not a single white wall in sight. And I’m not at all mad at that. Another to die for home designed by Reath Design.

Matthew Monroe Bees

Matthew Monroe Bees‘ interiors are OTT Southern maximalism with a touch of traditionalism and elegance that isn’t at all pretentious.
Layered loveliness.
