Stalking beauty

Beautiful, hermoso, smukke, bell, mooi, belle, schön, όμορφη, bello, vakker, piękny, frumos, красивый, vackra, güzel, belo, 美しい. I think I really need to own this house. I have a love hate relationship with my stalking addiction. I find beauty on a Melbourne street corner and I am smitten but could never buy it. Perhaps I can afford just the outside. Yes just the outside, maybe. Link here while it lasts.

Jo,

How bout if I buy the main floor and we can share? I don't need a bedroom—I'll just happily curl up at night around the Warren Platner table and go to sleep.

When I was living in Australia during Uni, I lived just around the corner from there at Robe and Acland!! It's such a beautiful location. I love St. Kilda, dearly.
The stairs in this house are amazing - both the tradition and the modern minimalist ones. Now to find a mere million laying around....

Can anyone please tell me what kind of creeping ivy that is?

[tania]

Is that Rick Eckersly's house? Very like his courtyard and sitting room and the boston ivy.

Hi Amalia,

The creeper on the back wall and the front of the building is Boston Ivy. The pergola is covered with Virginian Creeper.

Yes Tania, this is Rick Eckersley's house and photos by the amazing Derek Swalwell for Vogue Living. You can read the full article on our website.

Thanks for blogging Jo!

This is like from the book secret garden but instead of garden we have secret house ... Dziekuje pieknie ;)

Any idea what the name of the dining set (in particular, the chair) is?

[Sarah at E-GA]

Mzy, the dining table is the Platner table from Knoll. The chairs are upholstered Bertoia side chairs, also from Knoll.

Lovely classic pieces!
