Bronte house, and my dream kitchen

Dear gawd this kitchen is IT! It makes me want to take a sledgehammer to mine. Black and brass is so sexy in any application, but in a kitchen it is such a hot combination. Especially because the designer Pip Norris was smart enough not to use black countertops. I have been living a year and a half with some type of granite/quartz black stuff and it is a freaking nightmare to keep clean. These cabinets though - WOW. And the antique finish of the faucet and bathroom fixtures is incredible. The stuff that dreams are made of. (Photos: Tom Ferguson)

Latest from Fiona Lynch

Built by a builder for his young family, this Balwyn, Melbourne home is the latest project from interior designer Fiona Lynch.

"A minimal approach to materials has created an interior which is reflective and relaxing in feel. Concrete, timber and stone are the main materials in this project. Aged brass and grey stained oak cabinetry compliment the minimal approach to materials."

Sophisticated, restrained, always with an eye to detail Lynch's design is beautifully resolved.

Latest from Ashe + Leandro

I have been a huge fan of New York architecture & interior design firm Ashe + Leandro for years (see here and here for the last couple of features) so I thought it time for an update. Here are a couple of their latest projects. I love that they share my obsession of brass fixtures (that kitchen below is so cute!) and that they really just do their own thing, and aren't all about trends.  (Photos: Fran Parente)

An elegant bedroom

This bedroom with gold/brass accents is feminine, elegant and stunning. I am in love with the light fixture and how it really makes the room come to life. And OMG check out the bed frame with the loose fabric to give it an unfussy look - GORG!!!!

Simple...

This bathroom is simple, and divine. I adore it. And I will never tire of subway tiles. Via Carlos Mota.
