Kitchen love

This kitchen is retrolicious and one of the few times I really dig yellow. By Atticus & Milo.

Stalking 2

How do you beat stalking a fabulous light filled loft? Let's go stalk this amazing pavilion house which clings to the hillside at Great Mackerel Beach in Sydney's Pittwater area. Access is via ferry or water taxi from Palm Beach opposite. With no roads in and surrounded by the Ku-ring-gai National Park this house is all about that view. Well worth the climb up. That's what I'm telling myself anyway. At least there's an inclinator to the guest pavilion. Link here while it lasts.

Dreaming in the dark

As someone who has painted her own bedroom black I can fully attest to the calming, cocooning nature of a dark room. No dark dreams. Just dreaming in the dark. Beautiful bedroom by Meme Interior Design & Architecture.

Lines

This townhouse development responds to the existing streetscape by appearing as a large single residence. Within, each dwelling is highly individual; each with their own character, dramatic interior spaces and private gardens. A simple, robust palette of materials reinforce the sculptural form and ensure the building will age gracefully.

What I love most about this townhouse is the statement repeat of black lines, in the screen, in the panelling, in the staircase. A contemporary stylish space, Washington Avenue by Melbourne based Pandolfini Architects.
