Stalking South Yarra
Sat, 23 Feb 2013
I'm in Sydney for the trade fairs and I'm stalking in Melbourne. I could have arranged that a little. Perhaps I could have made it to an open for inspection if I had chosen a Sydney home. No instead I am in South Yarra in my virtual world. Pity I can't see this one in the flesh. So much is promised in the photos, so much unseen. A little snooping in person would be the only thing that could satisfy me. Link here while it lasts.

Fashion designer Allanah Hill's house FYI.
Nice spot Mark, I knew it had her "feel" all over this place before I even looked it up!
It looks like a palace, a dream home. Beautiful house Allanah!
It reminds me of the Garden District in New Orleans.
The cheery, casual floral designs on the pair of wing chairs and rug are just the right touch to balance the living room's formality.
My first thought was that looks like it was styled by Allanah Hill.
it's a great house, but it's got architecture, no wonder the result is so good,it's more difficult to design an interior without any
So much miniaturized opulence -- the house seems to call for inhabitants of 17th century stature -- and what do I like the most? The kitchen island. Is that the prettiest island you've ever seen, or what?
