And from me: I caught Lucky mid-yawn on the sectional in our media room. Phoebe isn’t on but under the furniture, but maybe if I post this it will help get my new sofa here faster ;). And not furniture but I had to share because it’s too cute how Frankie lays like this in the catio when it’s hot outside. (Also, my IG stories often have cat snaps if you’re interested in seeing life with a slew of cats)

A little dose of traditional grandeur on this lovely summery Sunday. Beaverbrook House is a historic country house hotel located on 370 acres in the countryside of Surrey, just outside of London, and was designed by Susie Atkinson. This project consisted of the refurbishment of 18 bedroom suites and public spaces (restaurant, morning room, library, cinema, parrot bar and private dining room. Susie sourced the antiques, artwork and quirky modern finds to create an original and luxurious that is layered and rich in colour and pattern. It is really stunning.

A mid-century home sits above the Swan River in Perth but the interiors are not quite what you would expect. In a renovation by Christian Lyon Design and architect Arianne Prevost modern design classics (hello Big Mama chair) are juxtaposed with classic art and antiques from the owners’ ancestral home back in Britain.  It’s Hepplewhites and all white and it’s fabulous!

Not really working out, more like stretching out on a Saturday. Warrior One, a yoga studio designed by Melbourne-based interior design studio GOLDEN is “a physical manifestation of sophisticated, contemporary coastal culture, reflective of a space designed for transcendent experiences.”

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 😉
