Australian Holiday Home

Posted

Melbourne-based designer Sarah Quin, her husband John, and their three kids bought this property in Merricks on the Mornington Peninsula, near Melbourne, 4 years ago. They renovated it during a year, « generally working within the existing structure » says Sarah.  A fantastic kids rumpus room and two extra bedrooms have been created, the bathrooms and kitchen updated, and the home brightened throughout with the addition of larger windows and French doors. « Our favourite ‘picture window’ in the living room was originally a small, low sliding door » says Sarah. « It now creates a beautiful frame of the garden and Westernport Bay beyond ».

Scandinavian Christmas

Posted

When they bought this house in southern Stockholm, Pernilla and Ola knew that it was in a deplorable state. Most of it was replaced in the 1970s, so the house was covered with carpeting and orange wallpaper, and the roof leaked. During 8 years, they renovated the house with care and passion. Decorated in classic black and white with touches of natural colours, the house has become warm and cozy for Christmas, with pine cones, twigs and hyacinths.

This week I loved… #3

I saw lots of « Do It Yourself » Christmas tree on the blogosphere these last days, and I had a crush on those ones from a French magazine. Original but elegant, and made with a variety of stuffs. Might have a try, but don’t know yet on which one ! :)

Did you say colours ?

Posted

Red, turquoise, almond green, yellow… Colours ! That’s what comes in mind when you see this 70 square meters apartment in Vasastan, a disctrict of Göteborg in Sweden. The numerous art paintings, the cushions or the lamps, every element of this apartment brings its touch of colour and pops again all the white ! Love the sweet pink and purple balcony !
