HAPPY PLACE

A Petal dome pendant light from Bisque Interiors hangs over the Rosetta travertine dining table from En Gold. Large Flamenco bowl from En Gold, small flower vessel from All Fired Up and vases from Etsy. Roman blinds in James Dunlop Textiles 'Envoy' fabric in Angora.

The process of updating a heritage home can require its owners to think on their feet. When there’s a nasty burst pipe in the only bathroom, the renovation of that room takes on an extreme urgency, particularly when you add a lockdown into the equation. “The Covid situation was getting serious,” says Katie Sargent, interior designer and owner of this 1900s home in Melbourne. “We had to get the bathroom done immediately, before tradies became impossible to pin down. We didn’t move out, so for a while there we’d have to jump in the car and drive to the local park when we needed the bathroom!”

The floors in the house are existing baltic pine boards that were sanded and lightly whitewashed. Artwork behind pendant light by Graeme Rowe.
