This itty bitty home is a renovated worker’s in Melbourne, Australia designed by Edwards Moore. A perfect description: Retaining the existing street frontage and primary living areas whilst fragmenting the building addition beyond. Creating courtyards which serve to separate yet connect the functions for living. A collection of raw and untreated finishes creating a grit that compliments the owners desire for an uncomplicated living arrangement. Echoes of the homes history are reflected in discreetly choreographed gold panels located throughout the space. An abundance of natural light refracting off the all white interiors create a sense of the ethereal, an otherworldly environment hidden amongst the urban grain. I love the grittiness – lots of finishing details in a home is really not my thing. This may be on the opposite end of the spectrum of a “finished” home but I find this homier.

Simon Devitt is a wonderfully talented photographer from New Zeland with a penchant for garden gnomes….and these are his photos. No garden gnomes in sight. (Admittedly I’ve wanted one of these Kartell gnone table-stools for like, ever).

An unremarkable suburban brick and tile semi-detached 80s/90s house. Neatly painted white. You’d probably drive on by. But catch a glance through the windows (as all good stalkers do) and things are not quite as they seem. This is what happens when hipsters move to the burbs. An open plan redo with lashes of white and wood, concrete and black. Throw in scandi style furniture and accessories, expose the rafters and you would hardly imagine that you are 26km south of the Sydney CBD. This is why I love stalking. You never know what’s going on behind those staid facades. Link here while it lasts.

Because I’m blown away by photographer Giorgio Possenti‘s portfolio.
