WEEKEND WONDER
SENSE OF SERENITYAn aura of calm permeates the beautifully decorated living room of Diana and Tom’s holiday home on the Mornington Peninsula, where the restful tones of a Bayliss ‘Hamilton’ rug and Jardan ‘Cleo’ sofas in Soft Washed Linen Seaspray are a call to leave the working week behind. A custom-made marble coffee table by BBY Design and a duo of tan leather ‘Frida’ accent chairs by Amura from Voyager Interiors enhance the air of understated elegance, while the Todd Hunter painting, ‘When All Your Roses Were Mine’, casts a colorful spell over the room – and owner Diana (pictured). “It’s definitely a favorite piece,” she enthuses. The eye-catching floor lamp is from Lucretia Lighting, while Max Sparrow’s ‘Laffaux’ mirror is a similarly elegant option to the one seen here.

KITCHEN

Showcasing a roomy galley-style kitchen featuring inky stone benchtops and white Shaker-style cabinetry (below), the cooking and casual dining zone appears forever clean and uncluttered thanks to an abundance of concealed storage. “I love to cook, so having enough space for everything is fantastic,” says Diana. A pair of striking Mercer Street glass pendants from Dunlin Home delivers a visual punch suspended above the Jardan ‘Otto’ dining table and replica ‘Wishbone’ chairs from Provincial Home Living.
