Week of stalking 5

Mid week on my magical mystery tour, sorry, real state stalking. Elsternwick, Melbourne. Federation era brick house meets 21st century renovation and extension. As the real estate agent says, "With an emphasis on natural light and garden vistas the architectural detail seamlessly blends heritage romance with the latest modern luxuries." My favourite spot is by the fireplace on the patio. Love the hanging baskets and the simple, contemporary lines. No, the kitchen and dining space. Love that door.

Design by b.e architecture. I have taken the liberty of mixing in a few shots from the architects' website alongside the listing shots. Real estate link here while it lasts.

The more photos I come across from Brazil, the more I want to finally visit this gorgeous country. The landscape is breathtaking, and it's inhabitants seem to be a creative, non-trend-following bunch of really cool people (holla at all our Brazilian followers!) . After having a looksie through the portfolio of photographer Alain Brugier, I am putting a trip to Brazil high on my bucket list.

Week of stalking 4

If our first Melbourne house was a riot of family colour our second is a study in well curated neutrals. This Malvern home is a marriage of old and new, with warm caramels, offwhites and beiges lifted, or should that be grounded, by black. It has every Australian's dream ... no not the pool or outdoor kitchen but an open plan kitchen, dining and family living with access to al fresco dining. Open plan is a national obsession here in Oz. Link here while it works.

I've left Sydney and now I'm peeping through the curtains of this house in Caulfield South, Melbourne. Fun, fab, fresh and loaded with vintage treasures. Vibrant colour bouncing off white walls. A wonderfully creative family home. Just what I would expect from a stylist. Wonder if she is having a garage sale before she moves? I don't only want the house, I want half the contents. Link here while it lasts.
