The fisherman's cottage

I couldn't help myself. I had to revisit the generalist one more time. A 1940s waterfront cottage, an architect and a desire to recycle, reuse and celebrate the found instead of a rip it down, slap up something mega and new. My type of home filled with memories and little treasures. A place for family and friends to live life, share love and renew spirits. To find out who and why and where and how head to the generalist here.

(Thanks to the generalist team for the images!)

Behind the shutters

Take a stylist and her builder husband. To this creative mix add a lovely old house on the northern beaches of Sydney, furniture sourced here, there and everywhere and you have the perfect team when it comes to creative homemaking. With stunning photography by Simon Kenny for Content Agency it's an inspiring way to start the week on DTI. I'd love to take the credit but it's another fab story from the pages of the generalist. You can read more here. I promise it won't be the only one you'll read. Many many thanks to the crew at the generalist for sharing all these luscious images. I'm moving in I tell you. Moving in.

the generalist

We know you love blogs and online magazines. We know you love original content so we know you're going to love this. There's a new kid on the block and we're excited. "the generalist is an oasis of extraordinary spaces, places, design, decoration and the people behind them. Living in general. Homes in particular."  Houses, design, people and places. It's perfect. With access to the archives of the Content Agency, the generalist is a must read full of inspiring spaces like this South Fremantle home of artist Alessandra Rossi and her husband Piero Castellati, a building conservationist. The place is, as they say, their very own “work in progress” using alternative materials and building methods while still paying homage to the house’s original features.

A blog of note

It's been an awesome yet crappy last few days. My stray cat Agnes went to her new home Friday night and she's doing well so far, and I developed a really bad flu but I have a bunch of blog posts to get done for while I'm away in Mexico (I leave next Sunday). Unfortunately I didn't have much time to get a post ready for today so I thought I would simply share some photos from one of my favourite blogs for some time now, Ollie & Seb's Haus. The blog belongs to Deborah, who lives in Glasgow with her husband and 2 kids (whom the blog is named after). She has a background in interior design and visual merchandising/styling which is not a surprise given how amazing the photos of her home are (she's a talented photographer to boot!). Here are some of my favourites.
