{Heavenly} Apartment Inspiration

Hello lovelies! I do hope you had a wonderful and relaxing Easter. Husband & I have spent most of the break house-hunting and trying to work out what we can (and can't!) afford in Sydney.

The house prices are crazy, but we are determined to find a good apartment that is in desperate need of renovation for us to transform. So stay tuned for our little adventure...

In the meantime, we have been busy trawling through real estate websites and have come across some very lovely renovations that I had to share...

First up is this gorgeous apartment in Ashfield, in Sydney's inner west. It is an old art deco mansion which has been divided into two apartments.

I love the muted grey and white colour palette mixed with black, purple; plus the dark polished floorboards work so well and really help to maintain the original art deco feel.


The purple lampshade looks fantastic!

Next up is another art deco apartment, this one is in Rose Bay, in Sydney's eastern suburbs. The kitchen is the standout in this apartment, I will be keeping this on file for our renovation kitchen inspiration!

Seeing all of these gorgeous transformations only makes me more determined in our search. I would love to have people's advice on your hunt for the 'perfect' house and if you have any tips, please share!

Interiors Inspiration {Art Deco}

There are little pockets in Sydney overflowing with beautiful art deco architecture and I must say I have always been quite partial towards it. 

Our apartment building is an an art deco block, but has been completely re-vamped and modernised to the point you could only tell it was once art deco from the outside. A shame really, since art deco features are rather exquisite!

What do you have planned for the weekend lovelies? I am packing away my laptop and heading off for a weekend trip with hubby and Charlie (our gorgeous dog!) down to a little town on the South Coast of NSW. I plan to take lots of pictures and catch up on some magazine reading.

Have a lovely weekend!
