I think I just found my perfect weekend escape. Beautiful house, beautiful surroundings, salt water pool, tennis court, chicken coop, organic veggies, barn, an amazing mid century furniture collection and just 90 minutes from Sydney.

“Gunu Berrima is a boutique retreat in the stunning Southern Highlands of NSW, Australia. Just a short drive from the historic village of Berrima, the native bushland 100-acre property is home to a haven of Australian wildlife. The Tuscan homestead is engulfed by a natural food farm (Eat Fit Farm) producing a wide variety of fruit and vegetables for Sydney health food company (Eat Fit Food). The contemporary-meets-classic house interior has been custom-designed by celebrated decorator Jason Sullivan, with commissioned art from the new face of Italian abstract art, Marco Lorenzetto. Adorned with all the comforts of a holiday-house paradise, guests of the 3 suite retreat can enjoy the great Australian outdoors as well as tennis & swimming all from the privacy and comfort of the farm.”

If I could I’d stay forever. You can book Gunu Berrima at airbnb.

Spring has sprung right into summer in my part of the world. It’s going to be a perfect weekend to get serious in my garden. I need a little inspiration for the patio just outside my kitchen and I think I’ve found just what I need. Love this courtyard garden and patio in Sydney’s Woolloomooloo by landscape architects and designers Outdoor Establishments. Alfresco dining, chilling and a great retro and reuse vibe. Don’t think I’ll need the fire pit and throw just right now but they will be perfect when the summer blast has gone. Love the big square tubs full of Sansevieria out the front too.

This sunroom and outdoor space are perfect for enjoying beautiful warm summer weather. Via TOL Arkitekter AB.

I’m stalking one of my favourite style mavens. Interior designer Pamela Makin of Les Interieurs has cast a spell over this tiny pied-à-terre at Rushcutters Bay, Sydney and created an inner city oasis. If I bought it I would have to insist that everything stays. Link here while it lasts.

Light filled and beautifully bright this terrace house in Woollahra, Sydney is only 3 meters wide. Poppy and Charlotte O’Neil of POCO Designs have used white extensively within the open plan design to stretch the house is the mind’s eye. A wall of glass floods both floors with sunlight and blurs the barrier between inside and out. A luxe living area is grounded with greys and warmed with gold and red accents. Contemporary and traditional, sophisticated and warm.
