It’s a Park Avenue apartment but loosened up. Not your typical over tweaked, over stuffed, over styled, karate chop designer pad. Simplified, formality removed, family friendly, relaxed. An oasis of calm in the maddening Big Apple. By multi disciplinary design practice De-SPEC.

A modern interpretation of life in an inner city terrace. Crisp and white with theatrical flourishes and calm private zones. Stylish simplicity and sunshine. Sunshine. You’ll never know dear how much I love you. I’m stalking in Paddington, Sydney. Link here while it lasts.

Yes! Christmas is fast approaching. No it doesn’t matter how much you close your eyes and block your ears with your fingers and sing “lalalalalala I can’t hear you Jo.” I must admit I was a bit like that myself when this month’s email arrived from Inside Out magazine’s managing editor Lee Tran Lam. Not quite the official December Christmas issue (whew!), the November issue, out Thursday, is packed with Christmas inspiration for those who prefer to confront the Holiday beast head on and not go into denial like a certain blogger. Thankfully Lee Tran decided to share this wonderful house.

… I thought I’d send you one of the ‘interior candy’ homes in the mag that doesn’t necessarily have a Christmas link – although it is incredibly summery and looks ideal for lounging about on warm days with a cool ginger beer nearby. It’s also our first ever unofficial submission to your pet on furniture collection, which I’m excited about!

So the home belongs to Belinda Everingham, who runs Bondi Wash (a company that, unsurprisingly, like her home, is inspired by the natural surrounds). It’s very serene and clean (and in fact, I get a big dose of I-should-be-more-tidier guilts just looking at how immaculate this house is). And if it all seems too elegant to be true, well, it truly is the real deal, and readers can step inside the residence to see it for themselves! Thanks to Zanui people have a chance to tour the home with our editor Claire Bradley and stylist Jason Grant on November 26. Readers can get tickets from Moshtix as of Thursday.

(The stylist on the story is Jason Grant and the photographer is Lauren Bamford.)

Don’t worry if you can’t pick up a copy on Thursday. You can also download it digitally via Zinio, Google Play,  Apple Newsstand and Nook

Black and white is such a great starting point for a home. In this case it is white walls and BEAUTIFUL glossy black hardwood. (Gawd how I would love floors like that. DAMN CATS!) Here the owners added lots of colour and kid friendly furnishings to make it energizing and fun. Take out all the colour and add lots of wood, grey and brown and you’ve got another totally different vibe against the black and white. Easy peasy. Via Hus & Hem.

Harbour Edge House c.1910 reworked and extended by Fearon Hay Architects. An ethereal beauty. White floors, white walls, floating white drapes stirred by the breeze from the water beyond. Simplified and sensual. It’s love at first sight for me.
