A riot of colour and pattern. In your face fun by Designers in the City. If you like your black and white spiced up with just about every other colour and OTT is never enough this might just be for you!

Auhaus
A beach shack renovation by architectural studio Auhaus. The original humble cottage was remodelled adding texture and warmth to the casual living within and out. Cathedral ceilings increase the sense of space. A second sister cottage or guest pavilion is connected not only by a deck but by repeating the cladding and the childlike house shape. Native tea trees incorporated into the space provide a dramatic connection to the site. A wonderful compound for the family and friends that are a given with a beach home. Why live in a wonderful part of the world (Barwon Heads, Victoria) if you can't share the seachange?

Stalking leftovers
It's that time of the week again when I play devil's advocate. Lovely homes? Yes ... well ... er ... maybe. You see I am very finicky when it comes to my virtual real estate stalking. Fussy, particular, choosy, picky and hard to please. Not quite right, bad photos, more photos please, house is amazing furniture is deplorable, can't quite put my finger on it listings but all with something that has me nodding "yes". This week's finds include a church conversion apartment, some cool inner city flats (so many in inner city Sydney that I wonder if the owners know something I don't) including a jewel box of home that appeared in Belle magazine but whose real estate photos let it down and a rather bland apartment in an iconic Sydney block with a view to die for. That's it just above. Before you think it is all about overpriced bijou shoe boxes with killer vistas I have included a few houses too. Click on the images to head to the listings. All via realestate.com.au.

P.S. In case you Ottawans missed my mention the other day, don't forget to get your butts down to Carleton U today, tomorrow or Sunday for the Ottawa Antique Show. I had a great time (and got some goodies) at this show in April - details here.
