When designer Kim Kneipp’s partner Lou Weis asked what she would love in a house, she imagined somewhere with a north-facing garden, within walking distance of her son’s school, and already renovated.
This Victorian home in Brunswick East ticked all the boxes, except for the renovation! After some quick cosmetic updates when they first moved in (while Kim was seven months pregnant!), the family embarked on a major renovation, including a prefab extension.
The completed home combines Lou’s luxurious design aesthetic with Kim’s salvaged style, and fondness for Japanese design, resulting in what she calls ‘humble luxury!’
The Southern Highlands home of James Watts and Tony Chapman is the kind of house many Australians wish they were isolating in right now.
With its gorgeous interiors, including sunny spots to read, antique furnishings, and a roaring fireplace, every day here feels like a boutique holiday stay.
James and Tony personally designed the renovation of the 1930s cottage, which was completed just before entering lockdown in 2020. With the help of a great local trades team, they’ve created the ultimate cosy sanctuary.
