Name: Max and Peter Kater of Murchison-HumeLocation: Sydney, AustraliaSize: 250 square meters (2,700 square feet)Years lived in: 7 years We’ve loved Murchison-Hume products for a while now, not just because they’re effective eco-friendly products, but also because they also look so darn good. We were thrilled to discover the aesthetic of Murchison-Hume products flowed from the founders’ own home. Max and Peter’s abode is refined, yet is still entirely a family home.

Martha and Jeff, one can say without a doubt, have taken this approach to a whole new level…>> Martha and Jeff did not buy this century old house lightly.

Name: Jay RobertsLocation: Chelsea, New YorkSize: Studio apartment, 400 square feetYears lived in: Rented until 2005, then bought We recently toured Jay Robert’s Chelsea, NYC studio apartment, and boy were we impressed!
