Interior designer and stylist Simone Haag thinks of a house as a blank page on which to write a story and if that’s the case then she has penned a tale of love and warmth using texture and subtle colour, carefully collected furniture and objets d’art when she designed the renovation of her own family home. It may not be large in size but it is certainly big on style, retaining its mid century roots, celebrating retro riffs all while embracing modern living. I think I’m in love … with the house, with the house!

Float with me down the stairs or across the garden paths. Stay awhile by the fire pit or share a drink with friends in the convivial courtyard. Feathery grasses float and simple columns of trees reach towards the sky. A stylish, contemporary garden with a hint of mid century by Nashville-based Daigh Rick Landscape Architects.

I’m still real estate strolling scrolling in the Sydney suburb of Randwick and I’ve found a stylish semi-detached home with an open plan, contemporary extension. The video will definitely help you fall in love with this inner city home just minutes from the beach. Love the light that flows into the living areas, the long horizontal window, the small but well formed courtyard garden. Link here while it lasts.

My sister sent me a rare photo with all 3 of her cats in it. Zoe, Spencer and Carl chilling in her living room.

Some from me. Mimin sitting on the bills I needed to pay. Semi-feral Bernie watching for birds in the dining room window. Semi-feral Frankie sunning himself on my desk.

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)
