Far from the basic shelters built for farm labourers on large estates this bothy was the charming home of interior designer John Tanner. Maximalist and traditional in style the tiny cottage shows that small space living does not need to be pared back and sterile. Beautiful, individual and dramatic.

Ukrainian husband and wife design team Sergiy and Anna of PH Studio are at it again (see previous feature here) with some traditional loveliness in this beautiful home in Kyiv. Their client has a penchant for French classics, as well as English and American interiors. Combining those and making the home dog (and cat!) friendly resulted in spaces that are comfortable and very easy on the eye.

















I am completely and utterly in love with the home of interior designer Anne Tollett of Hanover Avenue, based in Richmond, Virginia. I can’t even get beyond the photo above. So simple yet absolutely perfect (and it’s not because of the cat LOL). The rest of her home is perfection too.

















I’m real estate hunting in the oh so upmarket suburb of Point Piper. Built in 1905, this Edwardian mansion has expansive north easterly views across Point Piper and Rose Bay to Manly. I must admit my favourite luxury indulgence in this house is the master bedroom’s bath perched in its own alcove overlooking Sydney Harbour. The photos don’t do this property justice. You can get a better idea of how serenely beautiful it is from the video. Link here while it lasts.














I’m stalking a Victorian terrace house in the best street in one of my favourite Sydney suburbs, Redfern. In case you couldn’t tell it’s an interior designer’s own home. Which designer the listing does not divulge but if you know then spill the beans. Link here while it lasts.
