I love Potts Point. I think it's my favourite Sydney suburb. Full of history, close to the action and with that frisson of seediness meets money. The perfect base for exploring the harbour city. Now if I could just organise a few days away instead of daydreaming in front of my computer screen I might just have to stay in this fabulous apartment available through Contemporary Hotels. A stylish marriage of old and new.
It's easy to see that the interior designers at Kim Pearson are "interested in the worlds that exist in and between the old and the new, the directional and the classic, the contemporary and the traditional." This family house in Perth, Western Australia is full of colour and personality with considered respect for its 110 year old history. Modern yes but definitely not renovated within an inch of its life. A family home with soul.
Renovations took this Coogee, Sydney duplex apartment from ground floor flat to modern house with great outdoor living. New layout, new kitchen and new bathrooms within, pool and entertaining space out, all the time respecting the building's history by combining old and new. A fabulous example of making the most of what you've go. New work from Madeleine Blanchfield Architects.
By now you'll know that I have a thing for old houses. Give me a home with a little history and character over a modern build any day. It seems obvious that I would like this little cottage in Sydney's inner east and yes it does tick the boxes for me but ... I'm having trouble concentating on the house at all. I've been bewitched by the art collection. OMG! What I wouldn't do to get my grubby, greedy mits on those glorious canvases. The house could be a hovel and I'd still want to move in. Can I buy the collection instead of the house do you think? Link here while it lasts.
I'm stalking the redevelopment of Sydney's historic Yellow House, part art gallery, part artists' collective and home to the city's bohemians ... at least it was until the mighty dollar saw the building morphing into modern (read expensive) apartment living. Still this one bedroom abode is no bland wall flower, celebrating its colourful past with Zaha Hadid wallpaper, Kreon light fittings and kaleidoscopic bathroom. Link here while it lasts.
