Dear Santa,

I know it still 111 days until Christmas but you might need the extra time to work on my present. You see I’ve fallen quite hard for this Sag Harbor Boat House by Kevin O’Sullivan and Associates. Don’t bother wrapping it or popping it in my stocking. Perhaps you could just give me a lift in your sleigh to Sag Harbor to my new boat house instead? Oh and maybe leave me a boat at the end of the jetty… and bring all my blog friends for lunch? Thanks Santa. I promise I’ve been good… most of the time.

The owners of this Cremorne, Sydney house wanted their interiors to be lived in, warm, inviting and “non-designery”. Their Queen Anne style home was redesigned and extended by Luigi Rosselli architects but they turned to interior designers Decus to weave the magic that saw traditional meet modern, Danish mid century sit with family friendly custom build and everywhere glorious art. Light, bright, modern with a nod and always stylish but never precious. Beautiful, unique, fun.

What a stunning loft. This 1200 sq ft space in London is a dream with massive windows along one entire side, concrete ceilings, white painted floorboards, and an eclectic touch with stained glass doors and windows and patterned tile. I would maybe redo the kitchen and add some actual cabinetry to make it more functional. Other than that the decor is really fun and random with an fairly simple colour pallet. LOVE this.

This is a fantastic idea – build some bookcases on either side of a window and you end up with storage, a window seat and throw in some mirrors and trim and you have the cutest little reading nook in a ‘bay window’. Via Granit.

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.
