From the country that brought us Hugh Jackman, Summer Heights High, and my husband, is it any wonder that Vogue Living Australia is one of the best shelter mags on the market? Contained in its pages the most scrumptious styled and brilliantly edited images you'll ever set eyes on. It's a veritable smorgasbord of interiors indulgence!
The image that started my love affair: soft, magnolia pink meets leafy greens and a rustic bench. It should be a crime for a patio to look this good. And speaking of criminal, anyone up for staging a home invasion with me?
This scene makes me long for the gleaming parquet floors of my old Brooklyn apartment--though of course my cramped and crowded space had nothing on the vast, polished surfaces of this eclectic vignette. I'd even take those weird shaggy tables if it meant living here!
You know in old-timey cartoons when the wolf sees a hot pin-up babe? His jaw drops, his tongue hangs down, and his eyes pop out of his head. Let's just say that this rug is my equivalent of a hot pin-up babe...
A perfect example of monochromatic decorating done right. Richly layered textures abound; plush velvet, sleek marble, and even silver sequins combine to make a grey space that couldn't be boring if it tried. And, um, hello mirror?!
Okay, so this isn't someone's house--it's a styled product shot. But doesn't it make you want to run out and but everything on the page, and then convert your house to a modern Moroccan palace complete with columns and white concrete floors?
I could wax poetic all day about the elements I love in this photo--starting with those sexy red curtains. But my absolute favourite detail is the floor--look at how beautifully the dark wood inlay contrasts with the surrounding stone. They just don't make 'em like that anymore, kids!

Lust is a great way to describe this! What a great spread! Is that a Christopher Guy mirror? It sure looks like one. Lovin' it!

Love, love, love Australian Vogue, I was just looking at the current issue and second thought the price, but now you've convinced me to go back and get it!

Love that third image...the one with the beautiful parquet floors...do you remember which issue it came from? I've been buying this magazine for years but I've never seen this image before, it's a stunning room!
