A luxuriously simple harbourside home. A calm minimal interior lets the eye be drawn by that view. Oh that view. The remodel and renovation of this Point Piper, Sydney home by David Katon of Katon Redgen Mathieson is sublime. Loves? The way the living area’s walls of glass retract to allow you to be swallowed by the view. The art, especially the large photographic works and the pack of pooches yapping by the pool. It screams money but in a restrained slow release. More like a moan of money.

Rustic farmhouse-style spaces with a sense of history. So charming. The works of French interior designer Isabelle Heureux. 

I need a little pick me up today. Yesterday was the official arrival of winter here in Ottawa (it was -13°C at one point – I am SO not ready for this) and my first day back at another round of full time French training. (If I can survive both of these, I can survive anything). Anyhoo, I need a healthy dose of some pretty interior photos to ease my pain and suffering. If you need a pick-me-up too, then look no further than the wonderful world of photography from the lens of Teri Lyn Fisher. P.S. For an extra sumfin sumfin, check out her recipe blog!

Wouldn’t life be sweet if this was your weekender in the country? Minimal but stylish with comfort and luxury, views and a wonderful site. Wyldes Meadow by Katon Redgen Matheison.

“All three partners lead an approach to design that is grounded in Modernist principles of authentic, timeless design and planning rigour. Central to this philosophy is a strong sense of scale, form and material, and an emphasis on finely detailed spaces built to outlast changing fashions.” Simply stunning.

Just a simple little workers cottage in Richmond, Melbourne. Neat, tidy, in need of an update but in all its 80s dowdiness it’s the home of stylish hipsters. I’m having fun making up stories about who lives here. She’s a graphic artist and works in indie publishing. He works for an NGO and will one day finish those last few subjects he needs to complete his law degree but he’s been saying that for years. They laughed about the raspberry carpet when they moved in but they made it work. There wasn’t much they could do about the weird doorway as they were only renting but the landlord is cool. He let them paint… as long as it was white. The first thing they did after moving in was to pop a couple of boards across the ugly bin bay out the front. Voilà! A bench seat perfect for waiting for the taxi. Weird. I seem to know them really well 😉 It’s a shame the landlord is selling. Well that’s my make believe story anyway. Link here while it lasts.
