A colourful beach house

Posted on Tue, 8 Jul 2014 by midcenturyjo

Awash with sunshine and colour, white walls and floors. A casually chic family home with stunning sea views. The perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city living yet still on the northern beaches of Sydney. Palm Beach Tower. It can be yours for a few days or a few weeks as a holiday let. Who wants to join me for a winter weekend getaway?


Here goes Nicole of The House Diaries with another newly renovated room in her desperately-in-need of-updating home in Victoria, B.C. I have shared her main floor bathroom and laundry/mudroom, her daughter’s bathroom, and now her kitchen is complete. The transformation is shocking, and OH SO BEAUTIFUL!

This is one of the before photos. EEEKKK!!!! You can see the full pre-reno horror in Nicole’s post, along with details of her decision making and resource lists. I gathered up some of the after photos to share with you all and I am absolutely in awe of how fantastic this looks. Good job Nicole!!!

The Herringbone

Similar to The Oyster Catcher that Jo had featured a few months back, The Herringbone is another holiday rental property of photographer Paul Massey in Mousehole, Cornwall, UK. After the week I have had I would love nothing more than to leave everything at home (cats, electronics, real estate agents, maybe even husband) and spend a few days here with nothing but good food and good books. *SIGH* (Via Unique Home Stays)

Casa no Tempo

Posted on Fri, 30 May 2014 by midcenturyjo

It’s been in the family for years. It was their grandfather’s house. Now with the help of architect Manuel Aires Mateus, João and Andreia Rodrigues have created a simple and stylish get away in Montemor-o-Novo, Alentejo, Portugal. Casa no Tempo, minimalism meets rural idyll. Rolling fields, wildflowers, cork grove, horses, pool. I can see the perfect weekend far from the madding crowd. If only I could runaway.


Still stalking

A beautiful family home in Caulfield North, Melbourne. Light, bright and super stylish, a designer’s own. Love the neutrals, love the colour in the kids’ room and as for the kitchen/family room…. swoon. Link here while it lasts.
