Hard angles, brick walls, beautful worn wood. Lovin’ this industrial apartment by Michaelis Boyd. I would need to add a few plants tho’. And something girly like a really sparkly chandelier. 

Architectural and interior designer Hubert Zandberg continues to blow my mind with the reconfiguration and design of this 4 story family home located in Little Venice, London. Brilliant at displaying unique furniture and oddities, Hubert could not be more perfect for this project as the homeowners have a collection of archaeological and pre-Islamic artefacts and contemporary art. He certainly did these collections justice. 

Because Ben Pentreath is a genius I thought today warranted a second post of his brilliant designs. A little traditional with a twist vignette action for you on this lovely afternoon. 

I continue to baffle myself with my sudden obsession with all things traditional, but when it’s traditional with a bit of a modern twist I am ALL OVER THAT. British interior designer Ben Pentreath takes typical English traditional decor and adds a bohemian and modern flair to it so it appeals to a younger generation who don’t like to sit on plastic covered sofas and who are ok with footprints on the plush carpet.

I’m in the Sydney suburb of Annandale stalking an old school warehouse conversion. Not one of those new-build, pseudo industrial blocks with cookie cutter “loft” apartments. No I’m stalking an artist’s studio and home with suspended concrete, open ceilings and clear span space. There are mezzanine floors, plywood walls, a glass tilt door and walls crammed with amazing art. It’s a bit gritty, a bit grubby and it’s fabulous. Please Mr Bank Manager can you lend me the outrageous asking price of $3.5 million? Link here while it lasts.

(P.S. Thanks to my stalking buddy Anne for the link.)
