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.

Great architecture. Great interior design. Great living. Carrical House, Toorak. Renovation by Melbourne-based Rob Mills. Gardens by Paul Bangay. You can see more in the latest edition of Vogue Living.

I think it’s the external space that I love the most in this Fitzroy North warehouse. Don’t get me wrong. I love (most) of the inside as well but it’s the walled garden effect, the exposed roof trusses, the creepers and pool that are tickling my fancy. I’d change one or two things inside this inner-city Melbourne home but that’s only due to a difference in taste. I’m sitting here staring at the computer screen figuring how to arrange my furniture and art in a home I’m stalking and even going to purchase. Tragic am I not? Link here while it lasts.
