Once upon a time, in a land far away, a little blogger girl was too busy to play. Her favourite online game that is. Real estate stalking. I have been so swamped with a couple of secret projects that I have no time to waste on the pleasures of virtual gawking and stalking. No time to peep through the virtual net curtains. Thank goodness for people who are just as addicted to the noble pursuit as I. (That’s you Andrea.) Look at this lovely bright, white delight in Sydney’s Paddington she found for me. Small but very stylish. The courtyard is fab, the dining room cute, the bath just wonderful and the wine cellar (!) crazy. I can never keep wine long enough to cellar but I just might if this terrace house was mine. Link here while it lasts.

A mix of art and antiques, the everyday and the comfortable, fabulous and family friendly. Layers of texture and layers of living. Nothing too precious but everything special. A limited colour palette and unlimited style. It’s relaxed and nature. It’s beautiful rooms by San Francisco interior designers Jute.

New work from San Francisco based interior designer Antonio Martins. The Atelier is the room he has created for the 2013 San Francisco Decorator Showcase, opening Saturday. Layers of design, layers of textures and finishes, layers of meaning. A small space that spins a story through the most basic of materials, burlap, but is refined and elegant in the telling. A man’s space, an artisan’s lair, a collector’s sanctuary. A place away and yet in the present, a place beyond and always in contact with the world. A beautiful place.

Homes that are welcoming. Homes that are genuine. Homes that reflect their owners. Homes by Los Angeles based interior designer Mark J. Williams. Designs that are causally elegant, layered with texture and pattern. Rooms that are rich with the house’s historyand the family’s presence.

What can you say about a design firm with the moniker of Chinese Jesus? Wow springs to mind. Modern, luxurious, bold with midcentury riffs. Seamless and streamlined layered with texture. Mike Lee, Deborah Rumens and their team in Venice, California create cool, stylin’ sculptural spaces perfect for the modern Mad Men.
