1 the professionals: a few good men (and a lady)

the feb/march decorating issue of belle magazine was a ripper, showcasing the insane talents of some of australia's most influential designers/architects/stylists. i have gushed about brian hoy before who is featured alongside brendan wong (above and below) an interior designer whose european influence is echoed in the properties he designs. i am quietly obsessed with sydney artist dorryce rock's oil painting he featured in this eastern suburbs apartment (above)

also featured is belle coco republic designer of the year greg natale (two below pics). that laura kincade starburst mirror is heaven as is the white and gold cabinet designed by natale himself - clever boy.

and the lady, miriam fanning of mim design shows off a renovated edwardian villa in melbourne (3 below pics) - i love how she uses one shot of colour in an otherwise neutral room
