I’d say let’s meet for brunch tomorrow morning but I think the wait for a table may cruel the hipster experience. Looks so cool though and the reviews have been good. The Kettle Black in South Melbourne. It’s apple minty green, marble, wood and hints of gold goodness elevates it above the usual grunge coffee/cafe experience. Delicious design by Studio You Me.
I have been proclaiming my love of grey as the unrivaled neutral for years now, and frankly, grey is the new black. Many people will soon have grey on their minds as the release of the Fifty Shades of Grey movie is coming in a couple of weeks (around Valentine’s Day, coincidentally). I got together with Hamacha and Sun from clothing e-destination Theory of Gaia who will be sharing photos from this post over on Gaia Full Circle, and in the spirit of this theme, they sent me a beautiful grey sweater dress. So without further ado, I present you with a selection of some juicy grey room porn.

Minimal contemporary luxury within an old shell. Modern within traditional. Subtle, sober, stylishly simple. Mansion in The Hague by Dutch interior architect Remy Meijers.
You may remember Hilary Robertson‘s Brooklyn brownstone from the cover of a Living Etc. magazine a while back. I swear this home will be forever etched in my memory as one of my favourites of all time. To my shock I realized we had never featured it in its entirety here. I just had to. It is so damn gorgeous, and almost everything in it is a thrift/flea market/antique market find. So dreamy. So inspirational. (Photos via Hilary’s website and Trevor Tondro for the NY Times)
A soft, muted beauty, cozy like a favourite old sweater, stylishly simple and simply stylish. If I loved Paul Massey‘s Cornwall home then it’s obvious that I’m head over heels for his Primrose Hill, London flat. An amazing photographer with a wonderful eye who could easily put down the camera and take up design.
