As you’ll come to know, I LOVE black and white – I never tire of it. Throw in a few shots of bright colour and I’m in heaven which is why I love this hallway by one of my favourite designers, Jacques Garcia (studiojacquesgarcia.com). From the black and white Carrara floors to the marble columns,
Child’s Play!
Some homes are just pure magic, even if they’re wildly different from what we’d choose for ourselves. Kelly Wearstler’s projects always inspire me for this reason, she’s just got such great vision and she’s never scared of seeing it through! The hand painting in this wallpaper is reminiscent of child like graffiti but when it’s
A lazy Sunday afternoon…
I fell in love with the deep verandah of this beautiful building the moment I saw it in Architectural Digest – oh to have the time and budget for such a magnificent holiday home! It’s the perfect place to enjoy family, friends or a good book. I’m not sure of the actual location but it
Good things come in small packages!
The moment I looked at this chic little space I was impressed with how the designer, Jacques Garcia, transformed this tiny room into such an opulent lounge. As always, the beauty lies in Garcia’s intricate details. His signature use of wood paneling is well executed with the custom made book shelves which give the room
Wood and Wine
Some places aren’t traditionally beautiful yet we’re still drawn to them – Toorak Cellars in Beatty Avenue, Armadale, Melbourne is one such place.

Industrial Strength Kitchen
I really enjoy unique spaces that don’t follow tradition – I find them so engaging. This kitchen grabbed my attention for a number of reasons, beginning with the steel framed windows. Along with serving a practical purpose in allowing the light to flood in, the windows which abut the kitchen joinery also look out over
Mirror Mirror
This room has a special place in my heart because it’s the formal sitting room in our home. It’s the room that most appealed to me when we first inspected the house four years ago. At the time it was shrouded in dark green curtains, dirty carpet and drab paint but there was something about
Inspired by Jean Paul Deniot
I love luxurious rooms, my energy soars the moment I look at them and this formal sitting room by Jean Paul Deniot is no exception! I marvel at the way he brings so many opulent furnishings and clever combinations of both traditional and contemporary elements together to create such elegant and inviting spaces. As always,
Sergei Polunin
Today’s beautiful place is the magnificently proportioned barn in which the tortured and tattooed Sergei Polunin lays bare his struggle as he comes to terms with his prodigious talent and all it asks of him.

New York Style!
I love this stylish NYC bedroom! As always, the delight is found in the details. The chic bedhead and neutral linen is a stark contrast to the dramatic painting overhead and the black lacquered and paneled door with gold coloured handles offsets the vivid white paint beautifully. The caramel couch and honey coloured boards give
