Becki Owens is the queen of white kitchens

Let’s end the week with a contemporary take on the classic mid century bachelor pad that hangs from the hillsides of California. This Trousdale Estates, Beverley Hills home is by Studio William Heffner but screw up your eyes, stare at the screen, and let your mind wander to episodes of Mad Men. The setting is spectacular and the house a mid century modern marvel.

Summer is here and I am loving every minute of it. Hanging out with the family at my parent’s pool (“The Oasis”), barbecues, dinner on patios, the smell of fresh flowers, the sounds of birds chirping…it is definitively cottage season. Sadly there is no longer one in my family (my younger sister had one for a few years and recently sold it), but I continue to dream of owning a cottage one day so I can enjoy the outdoors and OMG another home to decorate!! It seems you can get away with so much more at a cottage. LOL Anyway, Style At Home magazine has a wonderful collection of cottage features so I thought I would share an assortment of my favourite spaces.

I featured this glorious home quite some time ago via JJ Locations and it turned out to be the home of super talented interiors photographer Debi Treloar. It seems to have had a bit of an update since then so I thought you might want to have another look. This is why I need a cottage – where I can get away with painting everything white, and filling it with all good things thrifted. This is what I want to dream about on a warm and sunny summer Sunday. 🙂

My admiration is manifest. I think I have featured almost everything they have designed. Call me smitten. Call me a fan. Call them fabulous. Here is the latest from Sydney based architecture and interior design firm Alexander &CO.  

The Mosman House was a contemporary but respectful amendment to an endearing existing bungalow. A study in ‘white’, the home is uplifting, expressive and engaging. Texturally intricate and craftsmanship focused.
