What were once 3 “huts” is now this stunning, modernized home in Santa Catalina, Spain. It sounds like Christine Leja and her team at Bconnected worked some magic with this project – I would have loved to see some before photos. Cement floors done in an old traditional way, iron staircase and windows done by an artistic blacksmith, “Tadelakt” walls handmade by experienced artisans, landscaping by special designers, inbuilt furniture handcrafted by carpenters, an exceptional finishing by our fantastic builder – and last and not least, thanks to Charlotte, the owner, with her great taste for interior design. 

There is an exuberance, a riot of colour, pattern and texture that defines Los Angeles based interior designer Betsy Burnham’s work. In this house though, dark wood and black framed steel and glass windows and doors anchor an uncharacteristic neutral palette. Colour is expressed subtly in public areas while in the private bedroom and bathroom areas it makes a playful return. An eclectic style is perhaps best described as Rajasthan meets Myanmar meets Moroccan and Spanish Mission. An exotic yet elegant and serene house. Mt. Olympus by Burnham Design.

Polar opposites of the previous home, this beach house is ultra-modern where the other was traditional. Somewhat OTT in its sheer expanse of space, I appreciate that the interior has earthy, natural elements to remind you of the location, with gorgeous views of the Atlantic ocean.

“An elegant background for everyday living.” That’s what Brooklyn-based architectural firm Bangia Agostinho strive to create and I can’t get enough. This extensive renovation in Carroll Gardens takes the building back to its beautiful, simple bones and seamlessly inserts the perfect living space for a modern family so that traditional and contemporary complement and enhance.

These are not leftovers (although I might do some tweaking). Oh no. I’m stalking five amazing homes in Sydney and Melbourne. I’d move in to all of them in a heart beat. The problem is I can’t afford one let alone five. Oh well a girl can dream. One or two you may recognise from previous designer features but it’s always interesting to see how the real estate agents and owners pitch them.
