Stalking a weekend getaway

Posted on Mon, 14 Oct 2013 by midcenturyjo

A weekend getaway if you have $2 million spare that is. It is admittedly sitting on 48 acres in the hinterland behind the beautiful beachside resort of Noosa here in Queensland. Yes it is very stylish. It does have a lovely view. The way it seamlessly blends inside and out and tempts you to live most of the year on its decks or by the pool is very appealing. It’s just that I’ll never be able to afford the price tag. A girl can dream and in those dreams it’s a girls weekend away. Champers on the deck at sunset. Link here while it lasts.

 

 

The elephant outside the room

Posted on Wed, 2 Oct 2013 by midcenturyjo

Let’s talk about the elephant. Not the usual elephant “in” the room, the one “outside” the room. That view. OMG! I’d live in a broom cupboard if it had that view. Fortunately this Point Piper, Sydney apartment I found on one of my stalking safaris is larger than a broom cupboard and almost as simply stunning as the view. No gaudy competition. Simple, elegant, restrained and likely more than most of us can afford. Link here while it lasts.

Stalking black and white

Posted on Wed, 25 Sep 2013 by midcenturyjo

A small terrace house in Paddington, Sydney provides plenty of inspiration for those who like their interiors black and white. Somehow they manage to squeeze 3 bedrooms (although they are not using them as such), 2 bathrooms and a flow through dining, kitchen, living space into this small inner city footprint. Tight yes but the simple colour palette, sleek surfaces and walls that open out to courtyards and the sky expand the sense of space. I must admit my favourite room is the bathroom. Graphic and chic. The atrium kitchen is clever too. Link here while it lasts.

Up

Up under the eaves sits an urban pad just right for inner city single’s living. Light streams into this warehouse conversion, bouncing off white walls and polished concrete floor. Small but not too bijou for entertaining with a weighted wall of glass and steel that opens up to the outdoor courtyard. Add a little of your own personality and you’ll have a stylish inner city base. Close to the action but safe and sound up under those aeves. Link here while it lasts.

When you don’t mind the graffiti

Posted on Mon, 26 Aug 2013 by midcenturyjo

When does your real estate agent beg you not to paint over the graffiti on the side of your house? When it’s good, really good. An otherwise unremarkable house for sale in Collingwood, Melbourne with artwork by DOES, Adnate and Sirum. Link here while it lasts.
