Stalking a warehouse penthouse

I'm stalking the heritage MacRobertson building in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy. With its "industrial living with a minimalist, contemporary" bones this two floor penthouse apartment is overflowing with artworks, books and life's little treasures. And then there's the rooftop terrace with treetop views over the surrounding suburbs. I could see myself moving in and feeling immediately at home. As is usually the case the video gives you a much better feel of the space. Link here while it lasts.

Stalking on a Saturday

A glimpse of a very contemporary addition to the side of the facade is a dead giveaway that this home in Melbourne's Fitzroy North is not what it seems from the street. I'm stalking an Edwardian era red brick home with a industrial modern extension. Love the play of the black steel against the brick and the monumental kitchen island with its rich green tiles and old timber beams. Link here while it lasts.

Small city garden with big impact

The downside of living inner city is often outdoor space is very limited. This Bondi, Sydney house has only the tiniest of backyards, more courtyard than wide open spaces.

"Seaside Residence was a partial renovation of a grand Georgian home. Our clients have a young family with 2 boys.

Melbourne-based interior designer Sally Caroline opened up the floorplan and created a sophisticated, contemporary look with statement furniture pieces and a colour palette that references the seaside location with soft neutrals and splashes of blue.

Stalking 2

Not fair! Throwing a tantrum! Not enough photos! I want to see more and I'm too far away to go to an actual open for inspection. My little boho heart likes what it sees ... but I WANT TO SEE MORE! Calm done Jo. Breath. That's better. I'm stalking a cute little cottage in Sydney's Avalon Beach. Link here while it lasts.
