A traditional red brick facade hides a contemporary reworking of this 2 bedroom townhouse with a distinct industrial meets New York loft vibe. Think oak floors, Carrara marble, exposed brick and steel framed French doors. I’ll definitely take that kitchen and the bathroom has some great inspiration for a very common layout but that back deck needs a rethink. I’m stalking in the Melbourne suburb of Prahran. Link here while it lasts.

I’m in my beloved Fitzroy in inner-city Melbourne and I’m stalking warehouse apartments. High ceilings, beams, large steel framed windows. What’s not to love? I’m already fantasising about my midlife crisis and the need to escape to hipster heaven. Speaking of middle age hipsters don’t miss the video. Link here while it lasts.

Today I’m stalking an old coach house just outside the medieval town of Landskrona in Sweden. Beautifully restored with polished concrete floors, exposed brick and old beams the 1850s house is complimented by a small but perfectly formed garden with flowering fruit tree, hammam and Japanese hot tub. I’m dreaming of late spring days spent with good friends and family, bees buzzing in the blossom and lunch just about to be served in the outdoor dining room. Link here while it lasts.

I’m stalking the inner-city Sydney suburb of Surry Hills. I’m stalking what would normally be a rather unremarkable 2 bedroom apartment except… I’m stalking artist Guy Maestri’s apartment. It’s amazing how a stellar art collection can elevate the unremarkable to the exceptional. The price may be stratospheric but unfortunately that’s due to Sydney’s inflated market not wishful thinking that the contents are thrown in for the price. Link here while it lasts.

Signage can be a fun way to decorate your walls as opposed to traditional art. Large lettering is also a great way to add visual interest to a space. Sign Letters is a wonderful resource with lots of options in materials and lets you customize down to your specifications. And free shipping!!!

As promised yesterday I’m stalking the other half of a warehouse in Melbourne’s Collingwood. What a difference! Yesterday’s conversion was modern industrial. Today’s is a mix of traditional, eclectic, a touch of industrial meets country kitchen and a whole lot of designer loft. Not surprisingly it is the studio of interior designer Diane Bergeron. Part design studio, part client showroom, part inner city pad. And it has that ceiling high bookcase that is featured on thousand upon thousands of Pinterest boards. It sold last month for $1.8 million. Link here while it lasts.
