JIMS CROFT STUDIO

For serious art. Some of our best artists and designers head here- lots of Archibald entries pass through these doors first. Rod Denson (who now runs the business) specializes in graphics, paintings and photographs and is renowned for being good, quick and reliable. Olsen Gallery gets his frames here. They’re so busy they were reluctant to be in this story.

A pool is a place to swim - it can be a restful, soothing, and sophisticated place in your landscape. It is a luxury asset that has been twisted into necessity as we now see things differently - loving anything that encourages indoor/outdoor living.

Many Australian’s sense of reality has fallen ap

Many Australian’s sense of reality has fallen apart after the shocking tragedy in Sydney over the weekend. The world we thought we were living in is not the world we’re actually in. It’s beyond words or understanding. Our hearts go out to the families and loved ones of those killed during such a senseless attack, and those involved in the response. Looking at a beautiful terrace via @sixsensesrome tonight - as we continue the quest for sense-making in a chaotic and confusing world. Sending goodwill to everyone as we hope for a kinder, more hopeful future. MX #peace #love

We think life is much better with nature. Even if you don’t have a Mediterranean beach house perched on a cliff with scenic views, there are lots of ways to create relaxed outdoor get-togethers. Work with the seasons. A lunch in the middle of a great outdoor setting doesn’t need much more than the grass and sky for decor. Keep it simple. Make it look good. Don’t show off. Forget formality. Atmosphere is more important than fancy food.

Great views can make us feel exhilarated. Who can

Great views can make us feel exhilarated. Who can pass a door or window without pausing and looking out? Who isn’t tempted to pay extra for a hotel room with an outlook? Meditative gazes beckoning us into landscapes; that peer onto pools where you can float like an angel, and private terraces that make your soul sing. However simple, the spaces that matter most are private gardens, terraces and open plan living rooms. All of these make us feel more connected. Even something as simple as a pergola slung between sky and ground, can be as important as indoor spaces.

You want to be near nature but strictly on your ow

You want to be near nature but strictly on your own terms. Innumerable properties have sweeping views but we like homes with sumptous coastal and courtyard outlooks that win for romance. Often wrapped in a cloud of pink clouds and light. Pic 1: @luxrevive; Puc 2-3; @bucarquitectura @interiormallorca #view #outlook #vista #flow #design #terrace #simple #simplicity #light
