Los Angeles is a city of extremes. A place of massive mansions and devastating slums, plastic surgeons and reiki healers, celebrity home tours and organic juice bars – there’s nowhere else in the world quite like this strange and wonderful city.
A couple of months ago, Sarah Ellison took her first trip to LA to visit Hawkins NY, the US stockist of her furniture and homewares brand. Staying nearby the store in Downtown LA, she was captivated by the gritty streets, incredible architecture and mouth-watering food the area had to offer. Today, she shares her guide for the places to eat, drink, stay and shop!
The Northcote family home of stylist Justine Murphy, her husband Bob, and children Jarvis (13), Frankie (11) and Delilah (7) is beautiful, but not precious. It’s one of those houses where everyone feels instantly at home.
Justine and Bob bought the Edwardian house five years ago, and have been slowly and sympathetically updating the space ever since. Original period features remain at the forefront, with added styling flair thanks to Justine.
Justine describes it as a slice of country in the city, filled with personality and people!
If you told a younger Michael Chazan he’d raise his future family in an off-the-plan CBD apartment, he probably wouldn’t believe you… but funnily enough, it’s now his dream home.
The furniture designer and creative director of Le Space, which he founded with his partner, photographer/curator/educator Ying Ang, live here with their almost-three-year-old son, Oska Shübi, and have found that apartment living is the life for them.
Over the past three years, the couple have placed their own maximalist stamp on the Melbourne apartment, with plenty of personal touches, plants, self-made furniture, and soft lighting. It’s a home that really feels lived in – we love it!
When Andy Paltos, co-founder and designer of Rolla’s Jeans, bought this Brunswick house in 2015, the property was tired but brimming with potential.
Since then, he’s been continuously updating the place, styling it with plenty of cacti, vintage pieces and textiles, against a backdrop of crisp white paint. Join us for a closer look at Andy’s happy home, shared with his young daughter Tabby, and fiancé Kasia Zachwieja – founder and designer of Me Full Stop.
Murrurundi is a small regional town located in the Upper Hunter region of New South Wales. One of its most recent full-time residents is Jason Mowen, an interior designer who gave up the apartment he’d been renting for 10 years in Darlinghurst, Sydney, to settle into a new life in the countryside in 2019.
Eclectic and layered, Jason’s home ‘Dovecot’ celebrates living life at a slower pace. Journalist and former editor-in-chief at Country Style magazine Victoria Carey and photographer Nicola Sevitt recently visited to learn a little more about its magic.
