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 😉

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.
