Dear Santa,

Thought I would get in early. Avoid the rush. I’ve been a good girl and for my christmas present I was wondering if you could shove this little country weekender into my christmas stocking? It’s Red Brick Farm in Chewton, Central Victoria. Just 90 minutes up the road from Melbourne. If you can’t get me the barn to keep forever then maybe just a flight to Melbourne and a long weekend getaway. Please?

With love,

Jo

On Monday I featured a French dream of a house by Isabel López-Quesada. I thought I’d round out the week with another of her rustic projects. Corrugated iron is part of the Australian building vernacular. The rusty iron shed is burned into the Australian psyche. Never quite saw it done like this though. When faded chic meets iron shed. I’d love a weekender just like this… in a moderate clime I think. Not so fab with heat or cold but we’re dreaming here right 😉 ? Speaking of a dream… that kitchen! Sigh.

What a simply beautiful kitchen! What a stunningly beautiful photograph! Oh the blue. The aged timber. The copper sink. The history and style. Sigh. Photography by Helen Norman. The woman is a genius with the camera. Run to her website now. Don’t dawdle. Run.

Soft light like honey. Colours blossoming from each shot. Real beauty and hazy dreams. Gorgeous rooms exotic and everyday captured through the lens of über talented photographer Brie Williams. Take me away Brie. Pull me into the dream your photos weave. Here and now and steeped in history. Far away yet strangely close to home.

Uxus crafts experiences that people fall in love with. Brand strategy, architecture and interior design. “We fuse rational design solutions with artistic sensibilities, striking a perfect balance between emotional connection and tangible results.” What they really do is design beautiful dreams… like this farm in Mallorca, Spain. Rustic counterbalanced with sophistication. Historic with new. Cooling, cave-like interiors with dramatic exteriors. Luxury with simplicity. Chiaroscuro balanced with harmony. An undeniable beauty. (Kim featured their Amsterdam canal house 3 years ago and it still sits in the front of my inspiration file… exactly where this house is going too.)
