Stalking the Yellow House

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.

Stalking a magazine editor's house

Oooh now it feels creepy. My real estate stalking takes me, in most part, to strangers' homes and, yes, in this case the owner is still a stranger but it feels like I know him. I'm stalking the Surry Hills house of Vogue Living's (and late of Belle magazine) editor-in-chief Neale Whitaker. At first I didn't realise but the two weimaraners were a give away as was the Gillie and Marc portrait. It's a stylish, light-filled two bedroom terrace house full of books and wonderful artwork. Almost worth a trip to Sydney to attend an open house. No I couldn't be that creepy. For auction here through BresicWhitney.

Stalking a loggia

I'm stalking a 1920's Hollywood-style Spanish Mission residence in Melbourne's exclusive suburb of South Yarra. Although there are a few things I would change here and there I am smitten by the loggia, the art, those ceilings and the grounds. Do watch the video. It makes the house look so much better. Link here while it lasts.

Stalking a quick five

I'm down with the flu. What's a girl to do? I have always found a little real estate stalking to be most therapeutic. Today I've had a virtual snoop through the inner suburbs of Sydney and even ventured down to Melbourne via Domain. It's amazing how much better I'm feeling after all my stalking.

Feminine and glamorous in Stockholm

Every once in a while a Swedish home blows me away with some not-so-Swedish decor. This being one of them. I found this property on Lagerlings, and it is all about feminine glamour. Some velvet, a mirrored console, rugs with leopard and zebra prints, glossy black doors, pale pink walls, brass accents, marble....it is one really beautiful thing after another. I am not sure how much my husband would be into this home but I would LOVE to live here.
