Jo and I have always expressed our love for church conversions, and this one is one of the most beautiful churches (built in 1881 and located in Kent, U.K.) we have ever featured. The furniture is a bit hand-me-down/garage-sale so ignore all that, and just imagine what you could do to the interior. The bedroom setup is incredible. That’s possibly the best headboard EVER 🙂 Currently for sale via The Modern House.

I’m still stalking in Sydney. I’ve moved one suburb over to Redfern where the new house  shares many things in common with my last stalking property. Concrete and wood, narrow and rising over several levels, modern but in this case a relatively new build as opposed to a terrace house gut and renovation. I’m torn between the two. I’m leaning more towards this house as it seems to have mellowed. Perhaps there’s more golden timber tones and a peek or two of softening greenery. Then again the Surry Hills house had those soaring ceilings and statement fireplace. Which do you prefer? Link here while it lasts.

As you can see I’ve torn myself away from the garden I stalked in Paddington all the way to this garden in Queens Park not too far away.  The house is a recently renovated and extended semi-detached Edwardian with exposed brick, concrete floors and that inside out connection that Australians crave. Link here while it lasts.

Don’t get me wrong. I love this house. I love the cool white rooms with their doors thrown open to the outside. I love the Spanish tiles on the floor, the mix of old and new furniture, the painted Asian pieces. What I really love, though, is the garden. Oh my! A series of courtyards intimately connected to the interiors, the gurgle of water features including a small rill, white and yellow frangapanis. What low maintenance loveliness. I’m stalking in the Sydney suburb of Paddington just a stone’s throw from Oxford S. You’ll find the link here while it lasts.

Apologies dear readers but I’m still stalking. I have, however, changed cities. I’m in Richmond in Melbourne. A Victorian terrace that at first I thought had been empty and styled for sale until I realised that no stylist would have a tangle of cables snaking behind the sofa or heaven forbid a lamp cord on display in a photograph. No I believe this is a lovely old house in need of a new kitchen and bathroom if you feel you must but I’d be happy to live with the owner’s furniture until I really, really had to renovate. Now sold but you can find it here while the link lasts.
