So much to see. So much to touch, to turn over, to stroke. I would be the most rude of guests fidgeting in my seat, jumping up to flick through a book, pick up a trinket, open a box, to take in the beauty. Somehow I don’t think the owner of this Birmingham, Alabama home, interior designer, artist and neo-traditionalist William McLure would mind too much. I think maximalists love to display their treasures and to have others secretly covet them. I know I do 😉

Not much over 4m wide but with its modern renovation and addition, this wooden terrace house in Balmain, Sydney manges to squeeze in 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and openplan living on a small inner city block. A little bit industrial, a little bit scandi modern and all with light pouring in through skyligfhts and voids. I wouldn’t call it tiny but it certainly is compact. Link here while it lasts.

It took the owners 3 years to find the perfect art deco apartment… well almost perfect. That’s when they turned to Sydney-based interior design studio arnoldlane to create their dream home.A few judicious tweaks of the floor plan and the spatial flow was just right. The all white colour palette was enhanced with added mouldings and panelling providing the perfect backdrop for the antique and mid century furniture. It’s elegant, restrained, classic yet contemporary and simply beautiful.

If urban contemporary is more your church conversion style than yesterday’s country church with a cottage feel, then this Chicago redesign might just be your thing. Think modern, clean lines juxtaposed with stain glass and soaring ceilings. Chicago church conversion into family home by Linc Thelen Design and Scrafano Architects.
