Indholdsfortegnelse for June 2019 i Inside Out

Who can resist a really good Before & After project? In fact, finishing a renovation has to be one of life’s most satisfying achievements. This is InsideOut’s annual Before & After Special, which always reminds me why we love renovating so much. It’s about hope, the idea that we can always make the places we live in better and more beautiful. When I picture what I’d like to do at my place, I see the finished house with me pulling together a fantastic lunch party… not any of the messy building bits that came before. That’s why we are drawn to all these finished projects – to see that it is possible. This issue, we have some really great examples. In case you didn’t know, June is InsideOut’s birthday and…

THE ORIGINAL Model 537 table lamp by Gino Sarfatti, reissued this year by AStep The form A marble-based lamp with a brass stem and shell-shaped painted-metal shade. What makes it special Sarfatti (1912-1985) was Italy’s pre-eminent lighting designer. With something like 700 designs to his credit, he revolutionised domestic lighting worldwide. He founded his lighting company, Arteluce (‘art and light’), with no real experience in lighting but an insatiable appetite for exploring new ideas. In 1953 the Arteluce showroom was redesigned by Marco Zanuso, one of Italy’s best-known modernist architects. This brought international attention, reinforced by two Grand Prix awards in 1954 for his radical floor lights, 1063 and 1065. That year, Sarfatti won the country’s highest design accolade, the Compasso d’Oro, for his cylindrical 559 table light, followed by…

After 16 years in this Geoffrey Summerhayes-designed home in Perth, Sue and Peter didn’t want to move on. So, with expert guidance from design company Lahaus, they slipped into reno mode, taking just six months to turn a four-bedroom home built in the 1980s into one made for 21st-century life. Turn to page 72 for more.…

Buying or selling a family home often brings with it a sense of responsibility – but when the house is designed by renowned Australian architect Geoffrey Summerhayes, there’s an extra sense of duty to uphold. Geoffrey designed this four-bedroom, three-bathroom villa in 1988, and it became the perfect family home for Sue and Peter when they bought it in 2001. Tucked away in Perth’s leafy Peppermint Grove, they raised their two children in the single-level house, which is walking distance to a golden-sand beach and peppermint tree-lined river. But when their children grew up and their son moved interstate, the much-loved home no longer suited their needs. “At that point I really wanted to downsize,” admits Sue, explaining that the Tuscan-inspired ochre exterior and terracotta tiles were dated and they…

Who lives here Anna Carbone, founder and creative director of design studio The Chic Fish; Giovanni Gennari, the marketing and communications director at Fornasetti and co-founder of The Chic Fish; and their son, Tito. Style of home The 120-square-metre apartment is located in a 19th-century building in central Milan. The couple bought the apartment in May 2013 and spent six months planning; the renovation took 90 days.   Approximate cost was $160,000 (including all the vintage pieces).…

Who lives here Lauren Gillespie, a high-school teacher; her husband Wade Gillespie, 36, owner of Axon Electrical; sons Rafferty, 3, and Perry, 1; and their Staffordshire bull terrier, Vegas. Style of home Built in the 1970s, this brown-brick bungalow in coastal Karrinyup has been made into a bright family home. Lauren and Wade bought the home in late 2016 and got straight to work on the renovation. Renovations started in June 2017 and finished in late 2018. The entire project cost approximately $370,000.…

Q My wife and I love entertaining outside year-round and want to update our outdoor area to make it feel more like our living room. What sort of outdoor furniture is popular right now? Jean, via Instagram Hygge, the Danish word for finding joy in simplicity and appreciating the small things in life, has turned into a big outdoor furniture trend, and the Rome outdoor range by BoConcept encapsulates it perfectly.

During the cooler months, blinds will help make your space cosier and more inviting. Add some throws and an outdoor heater and your outdoor space is useble throughout the cooler months. Come summer, well-placed blinds for screening or on a Western side of the house will help keep the area cool and ideal for your next get-together with friends or family.…

Your front gate introduces you, so you need to make a good first impression. While there are many practicalities – single or double, width and height, how secure it needs to be – deciding on a gate can be fun. Bearing in mind that it should complement your home and garden, here are the main types to look for... slatted Timber-batten gates look great in modern architectural homes, and where privacy or security require a door-style gate. This slatted style is versatile and effective, whether the battens are vertical or horizontal. Customise the timber dimensions – slim battens create a contemporary profile, while wider ones gives a chunkier look. You can adjust the spacing, too – go narrow for limited see-through and wider for a lighter, breezier, more open effect.…

Indian spiced root vegetables “With very little conscious effort on my part, much of the food I make in my slow cooker is gluten-free, vegan or vegetarian” Rather like an exotic bubble and squeak, but starting with raw vegies and giving them an Indian twist. There’s no need to wait until you have leftovers from a roast dinner to give this a try. As well as being a comforting supper, it makes an awesome brunch, topped with your favourite style of egg. I can never get enough boiled eggs, and I’m particularly partial to a roughly chopped hard-boiled egg.

We kick off at the deep end – in the new pool of a villa-like Perth home whose owners wanted to swim while they waited for council approval to finish their renovations.

+ Internal aesthetic “I love how all the materials work together to provide texture,” says Lauren, referencing the extensive use of timber for the flooring and panelling, the exposed bricks, stone benchtops, decorative tiles and soft furnishings. + Street appeal “Our white house has impact, personality and street appeal. While the bones and structure are the same, every surface has been altered and the interior and exterior are now vastly different.” + Kitchen and dining The open-plan entertaining area is one of the home’s greatest successes. “From the kitchen I can see the boys wherever they play,” says Lauren. “I love that everything connects to this space and opens to the outdoors.”…

When it’s chilly outside, there’s nothing more appealing than a cosy fire. Choose it well and the right fireplace can also add focus and atmosphere to a space. “A fireplace is so much more than just a source of heat,” says Melissa Bonney, director of The Designory (the-designory.com.au). “It’s something that people naturally gravitate towards, and where conversation happens.” Renovation and design expert Naomi Findlay (naomifindlay.com) concurs, adding: “A beautiful fireplace can bring texture, shape and style to a space. It also provides a great styling opportunity for accessories.” All manner of fires are on offer, including sleek gas models, atmospheric wood-burning styles, slow-combustion stoves, plug-in-and-go electric designs, and eco-friendly bio-fuel models. Looks-wise, fireplaces with pared-back lines and minimalist detailing are trending. “Fireboxes have become larger and their frames smaller…

If you’re looking for an inventive way to open up a room and bring in some light, exposed beams could be the answer. In timber-framed houses built in or before the 1920s, beams were a structural essential. After years of only being seen on dusty trips up to the attic, they’re now garnering serious attention. Removing a dropped ceiling to reveal original beams in a vaulted roof can turn a fairly ordinary room into a dramatic, light-filled space. Here are some practical things to consider first… 1 logistics Before you rip out your ceiling, check the appearance of your existing beams and the spacing between them. Some standard ceiling joists have beams placed very close together, which doesn’t give the same aesthetic appeal as wider beams spaced more than a…

The owners of this garden had a long wishlist for its transformation, and Ian Barker Gardens expertly incorporated everything into the new 95 sq m space. Raising the flat area beside the fence to include the swimming pool and spa – with a timber-batten screen housing a waterfall feature – was just one of their many bright ideas. But perhaps most attention-grabbing of all are the offset bluestone pavers down one side, which dance in and out of a variety of plantings. Smart! landscape.net.au…

It’s totally new – but not new at all. Barrenjoey House has been the hot stop for Palm Beach locals since forever. For years, the art deco-vibe guesthouse was the only place to stay on the Palm Beach peninsula, and the restaurant below – with its collection of shAded tables on the footpath across from the Pittwater ferry – made for a great day-trip destination before the hour and a half drive back to the city. Now, locals Pip and Andrew Goldsmith hold the keys and have orchestrated a revamp in the style of their existing restaurant portfolio – the Boathouse Group – which includes The Boathouse cafes in Palm Beach, Balmoral and Shelly Beach, as well as Moby Dicks in Whale Beach, the pub at Patonga and a homewares…

“The renovation came in on time because we had fully documented drawings that we didn’t deviate from”JILLIAN DINKEL, DESIGNER Ben and Sarah both grew up in terrace houses and weren’t at all fazed by the small 92-square-metre footprint of their new home in Sydney’s Paddington. After buying in early 2017, they hired Jillian Dinkel to maximise every inch of the floor plan. Jillian is The Terrace House Designer (the name of her design blog) and specialises in adapting heritage homes to modern lifestyles, a unique niche for the Boston-born designer who moved to Australia six years ago from New York, where she worked for fashion magazines as a casting agent and stylist. “Terrace housing is very different to what I was used to in the US, but I fell in…

Walk into Anna Carbone and Giovanni Gennari’s Milan apartment and you might think the rooms have been left to crumble over the centuries. Their walls are rough, electrical wires are exposed and the decor harks to bygone eras. The old-world look, however, did not occur by accident. The home, thoughtfully designed and curated by the creative couple, is an honest reflection of their shared love of vintage interiors and second-hand objects that hum with a connection to the past. Anna and Giovanni run a multidisciplinary design studio called The Chic Fish. It kicked off as a blog in 2011, when readers were quick to jump on board with the couple’s passion for ‘contemporary vintage’, a style direction that gives a new context to old things. When it came time for…

Wade Gillespie knew right off the bat that he wanted the original 1970s mission-brown brick bungalow in Perth’s coastal Karrinyup. He and his wife, Lauren, were in the market for a fixer-upper and saw unparalleled potential in the home’s dated decor and strange, convoluted layout. “I’d had my eye on it for a while, but it was going to auction and that wasn’t until five weeks before the settlement of our other place,” he explains. “I had made an earlier offer, which was rejected, so Lauren was very anxious in the lead-up to auction day!” It wasn’t just Wade who’d fallen in love with the property. With its retro vibe and charming character features, it had easily won over Lauren, too. “The house is located on a corner block, which…

I’m a big fan of buying right, buying once and using the best products on the market. But until I win the lottery or Santa actually gets it right, it’s a balancing act of what we want to splurge on and where we should save. As a general rule, though, we should splurge on the hero elements in our homes and save the pennies on less-expensive pieces that almost blend into the background. As I look around my living room, gazing over the multitude of toys and questionable stains (thanks, kids), it’s clear that I’ve splurged on art, lighting and the timber floors. The couch is inexpensive, the cabinetry is from Ikea and the dining-room table has seen better days. Yet visitors always compliment the space and say how nicely…

Part function part fashion, blinds and curtains have an essential place in any room and ironically, when done well, they can almost disappear. Never an afterthought, blinds or curtains will play a key role in screening, managing light, privacy and mood. For the initial investment, the return is actually quite sizeable. Whether you’re updating a room or creating a new space, there are three key things to keep in mind before planning your purchase: 1. Screening. Window furnishings are a great way to maintain privacy from close neighbours, look towards venetians, sheer curtains or privacy blinds. 2. Cleaning. If you don’t like cleaning or maintaining, look for darker colours that will show less dirt less quickly. 3. Size. There are so many sizes of windows and doors that standard sizes…
