Why live in a plain white box when you can have colour and pattern and fun? This post war NY apartment by Wesley Moon is sophisticated yet family (and dog) friendly. I love the palest whiff of sea foam green with that barely there pink in the dining room, over-topped by a theatre of the wall mounted light as well as the subtle mid century references. And what about that palm jungle of a bedroom? Me obsessed with all those white boxes of late? No. Never 😉

My oh my it’s not my usual taste but I’m stalking a fabulous home in Sydney’s Bellevue and I’m all a flutter over this modern home with its open plan living, curvilinear features and beautiful outdoor spaces. I can see myself moving right on in. You too? Link here while it lasts.

Here’s one from my sister Jen of one of her 3 rescue cats, Zoe.

And some from me. The first is feral Bernie hanging out on my dining table while I was trying to shoot the arrangement I made out of bits from cedar hedges we ripped out from our front yard. The second is Felix having a nap on my new Ikea Föremål bolster. The third is a shot I took of Mimin chilling on her pillow on our bed.

I can’t help myself. I just have to share one more project, a Rome country house, by Stefano Dorata. His work resonates with my design zeitgeist. Classic meets contemporary, rustic luxe meets urban sophistication all with a restrained colour palette.

One of my all-time favourite interior photographers Paul Raeside has updated his website – it’s like Christmas! I’ve been a fan for many years and his work is total eye candy. It seems he has shot some of my favourite homes as of late, like that of Sera Hersham-Loftus and my Instagram friend Suszi Saunders. So enjoy some of that eye candy care of Paul.
