One more for Meg’s inspiration file. Scandi style. Tick. White and wood. Tick. A lovely accent of palest blue and a smear of berry colours. Linen, leather, velvet, thick wool. Fantastic Frank has done it again. And the good news is that this apartment is still for sale. You’ll find the listing here.

My friend Meg loves all things Scandinavian so when she asked for help decorating her tiny apartment I knew where to look for inspiration. Why Fantastic Frank of course! This real estate company is know for the fab styling and magazine worthy images that set their listings apart from all the others. Meg loves all things white and wood. I think we hit the jackpot with this teeny 26 m² apartment. Mirrors bounce the light and “extend” the room while the autumnal hints are so pretty. If you love it and have to have it unfortunately it has been sold but you can find the listing here.

New from Sydney-based design duo Christopher Glanville and Megan Burns of CM Studio the Paddington Project builds on the success of their Cross Street project. Known for their elegant, liveable, modern spaces the studio has partnered with leading Australian furniture retailer Living Edge to create the Paddington Project, a quintessential Sydney terrace renovated with sophisticated minimalist interiors and styling. Here’s the twist. It’s all for sale. From the Marc Newson For Noritake Espresso Cups to the MO Bed to the artwork to the house.

Design Open Days Friday 27th/Saturday 28th/Sunday 29th November and Friday 4th/Saturday 5th/Sunday 6th December 1pm – 5pm. The Paddington Project is at 51 Oately Rd, Paddington.

I have another project from a Polish interior designer to share with you. Magda of 2kul Interior Design sent photos of a beautiful beach house in Costa Rica. Is a simple project, but maybe, with everything that is happening last days simple is not a bad thing. Project is in the middle of nowhere ;), around Avellana beach in Costa Rica. Not a big budget, not much stores around and qualified workers. So we use anything that we found and nature gave us. Bark of a palm tree gives us material to make chandelier above the stairs, beach sticks and wood from the ocean – all the other decorations, lamps structures, handmade ‘deer’ on a wall. Palets that been left after construction become furnitures. Had my mother and her skills around so ask to make this huge hanging black and white lamp that you can see in the corner of a room. This goes to show with a bit of ingenuity and some found objects, you can create a wonderful space with next to no budget. For the record Magda, your mom has talent – I would buy that light fixture!

Yes folks, it is another church conversion here on DTI, because Jo and I love a good conversion and churches have such incredible, dramatic architecture. This church is 19th century with a gothic vibe, and features 4 bedrooms each with their own bathrooms, a specially commissioned kitchen, hand painted columns, gloriously huge arched windows, blackened oak herringbone floor (dying over this!!) and a small courtyard. This is by far one of my favourite church conversions we have featured. A new location on the Shoot Factory roster.
