Black and white, a surprise of old gold timber linings, enough retro classics to be cool not ostentatious, enveloping textures and the promise of a good surf break. Not your usual Hamptons holiday getaway and I for one am glad! Montauk Beach House by Space Exploration.

I wonder if Khoury Vogt Architects built sandcastles when they were young and dreamed of bigger things?

L.A. based interiors firm Alexander Design create spaces that are personal, luxurious and livable. Their work is a mix of contemporary, custom and vintage pieces, richly layered and carefully curated. It’s all about relaxed family living that is stylish yet functional, chic yet authentic, effortlessly elegant. A neutral colour palette is the jumping off point for this beachside home but it’s the layer upon layer of texture that is the star.

It’s all about easy living. Warm, relaxed, casually stylish. A hint of tropical, a touch of beach and loads of urban cool. This Sydney apartment by H Interior Design is perfect for its young owners. Standout design features for me? the marble and timber stairs and a sleek ensuite bathroom.

Today I’m stalking a rather grand but rather bland terrace house in Sydney’s salubrious Darling Point. I suspect the house is vacant and it has been styled tastefully but sparsely for sale. Good bones but nothing too special until you reach the enclosed courtyard. I’m staring at the pictures and daydreaming about what I would do with this space. Have you seen Rose Uniacke‘s Pimlico House courtyard? Or Sera of London‘s own home but the inside translated to the outside (here and here)? Nice time waster for the weekend. Link for the house here while it lasts.
