This is bit more traditional than I typically gravitate towards, but the green and blue colour scheme that New York City based designer CeCe Barfield selected for this project is really beautiful. I’m also smitten with her “worldly” touches that adds an eclectic vibe.

Still chasing the real estate dream but this time I’m in the inner Sydney suburb of Woollahra eying off a small but stylish Victorian cottage full of charm, light and art work. Historical details and modern creature comforts make it a perfect city pad. Link here while it lasts.

A celebration of European living with beautifully curated rooms flooded with light. Think linen and aged oak, soft colour palettes and attention to the finer details. Contemporary living embracing the old and all with the family at the heart … and hearth. By Dublin-based interior designer Minnie Peters.

“Our distinctive gardens focus on living sculptural features: the contrasting texture and foliage of varying plant combinations set within a structural footprint, to create a balance between architecture and nature.”

Just the way I like it. Trad with a twist. That place where the fantasy pushes the staid boundaries of tradition just a little, where classical meets quirky. Dive into the portfolio of Melbourne-based Jane Jones Landscapes and let your imagination wander.

The older I get the more I find myself appreciated classic furniture, whether it be mid-century, art deco or more traditional. This home (of actress Jordana Brewster) in Los Angeles was designed by Chiara de Rege and most of the shopping for the items was done in the home of Jordana’s parents (you can read more about that in this Architectural Digest feature). Who clearly have fabulous taste. I love how the traditional pieces in their surroundings give off a bit of an edgy, youthful vibe.
