A 19th century sandstone farmhouse a few hours outside Sydney undergoes a renovation but it’s not a cheesy, chintzy Victorian time capsule that emerges from the builder’s dust. No. It’s a modern farmhouse, honest, sympathetic, a calm respite from the city rat race. Sophisticated in its simplicity yet true to its roots. Capertee Valley Cottage by Studio Esteta.

A week of grey skies and constant rain has left me craving light-filled spaces and I can’t think of a better place to be than the amazing loft home of Sally Breer, founder and lead designer of L.A.-based ETC.etera. Soaring windows, industrial posts and beams, killer furniture including a Desede Terrazza sofa. I’m in heaven. Now if the design gods would only scoop my up from my sodden surrounds and transport me to this L.A. loft all would be well with my world.

What Alexander and Co said about this Sydney project:
“Queens Park House is the transformation of an existing 1900’s semi-detached cottage in Sydney. The project created a new 4-bedroom home whilst the material palette and architecture explored the use of steel detailing and various natural hues and textures. The internal styling, lighting and furniture responded to our client’s very particular ambitions.”

What I have to say about said property:
“Swoon!”

So slick. So cool. Mid Century Modern with rustic, monochrome magic with metalic accents. It’s hip, it’s happening. It’s a private apartment in Milan by Quincoces-Dragò & Partners.

Becca Casey of Becca Interiors blends the reclaimed with refined and the ordinary with ornamental. Greenwich, Connecticut based interior designer has played with light and texture against a monochromatic palette in this small Dumbo loft space that makes up in style for what it lacks in square footage. Comfortable and chic like a well loved cashmere sweater. A perfect retreat from the hectic big city life.
