apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I love this place - The pink toile wallpaper in the bathroom and the Wing Chairs at the dining table are too fabulous!

Whata a beautiful home! What steal-worthy ideas! Would love to live in a house like this.

I love everything in this house!

It's lovely, very feminine...great artwork too.

I saw plants through a window. I loved the interior but would love to have seen some beach and other outdoor pictures. I live downtown in a major city with wall-to-wall buildingw. I love it when ATers share their yards. It's such a great cheap way to dream.

ooops, typo, buildings not buildingw. Sorry.

this is my dream home next to the viceroy hotel. well done.

Hooray, a house tour from a fellow Brisbaneite! I've been wondering when one would pop up :D I am absolutely blown away by the bathroom - the brick-shaped tiles and the two different mirrors and the hexagon flooring. Lovelovelove. Will have to check out your shop some time.

This is lovely but I agree that some outside views would have been nice. I also would love to have seen some pulled-back shots in addition to the tighter ones. It's hard to get a sense of scale or how the rooms work together. Overall, though, it's a beautiful and original home.

I love the use of color in a very white space, nice pop, my one question is... why do hosts give themselves super comfortable chairs and not offer their guests the same comfort? I've never understood that dining room setup, seems to me everyone should have the same level of comfort for dining, especially if you want to have long conversations at the table.

I am in love with the Bed frame in the first pic! I take it that is an antique? Gorgeous! And I love the fabric on the ottoman also. Your home is an envy in the way that you mix old and new. I try to do that myself. I think your home has a warm personal touch to it.

Rucy, that is such an interesting question, and one I've never thought of. I don't think most people are thinking consciously about guests when they put nicer chairs at either end of the table. If the furniture is most commonly used for a couple or family with children, the only adults in the house would have the nice chairs for a typical meal.

When I have guests over, I let them sit wherever they want. If I had chairs that varied in comfort (or perceived comfort) I would of course offer those to my visitors and take the lesser seating for myself.

love the bathroom vanity... it's perfect

I love Anna's home! Anna is incredibly gifted and creative and a very genuinely kind person to boot! So fun to see the tour here on ATLA!

Gorgeous! I looked at this earlier today and it stuck with me all day. Very inspiring.

Hi Anna,

Good stuff!! Love your style... My husband is a minimalist and I'm a bit of traditionalist myself - Have been collecting a lot of little antique pcs now in north america but will be going back to Sydney soon.. Esp love a lot of furniture pieces you have.. Will look your store up next time :) May need some pointers from you if you know some other cool shops in Sydney..

I want to go to there...

i couldn't see any links for thumbnails or even returning to the original post. would be nice. thx.

Wow I just went up into my attic and pulled all my pillows down (mix and match) and put them on my couch, just based on this post!

i love posts like this one. so many of the pieces of furniture are totally not my style and yet the whole place is just amazing!

I don't normally like white walls, but this works! Really great.

I've been a big follower of her blog. So glad to see you guys do a home tour. She has such a unique, colorful, fun, eclectic style!

Absolutely beautiful! I could move right in! Love LOVE LOVE it!!

Really lovely! I am in love with the pink wicker couch and the stripey upholstered chairs.

Regarding the 'comfy' chairs at the end of the dining table, I have to say they look like they'd be really awful to eat dinner in. You'd be all sunk in with your chin on the table top. Give me the uncomfortable ones any day :-)

I don't think it gets much better than this. So much wonderfulness under one roof....it should be illegal.

About comfy chairs... while I was in Germany we had a round dining table, with four wing chairs, and it was very comfortable for eating and long talks at the table. However there we had a table that adjusted height (from coffee table to several eating heights) and when we had more guests, the wing chairs went to various rooms, out came a set of 8 armless dining chairs that stacked for storage and the table leaves were added to make a large round. Thinking of recreating the same here but I just haven't been able to find the same style table (or anyone who knows how to find the pieces to make it).

The colors in this home have really stayed with me... definitely has me rethinking the complicated paint scheme I'd planned on!

Wonderful, light-filled, bold, characterful home! I share the passion for colour accents on a white background done your way...

wow, how many copies of the domino book do you own? they're all over the place!

It looks like a pretty lady lives here. Lovely.

I was on here a few days ago, but came back for another "eye candy" visit. Ahhhh! I love your home! I really want that floral fabric from your ottoman!!!

very, very bright, calm, & just outright gorgeous. you've got brilliant style!

That antique looking cabinet and those pre-war porcelain vases - nice Asian touch. Play that up with huge Chinese art prints.

I didn't think I'd like this, but I was very wrong! I love the way the colours work with the white walls and the great art. Also love how the baroque furniture has been updated and juxtaposed with the ultra-modern.

Well done... pure fabulousness through and through!!!!!!

And the stripey chair is utter bliss...
