A Designer’s Colourful + Curvaceous Coogee Rental!

After frequently moving over the past 10 years, Ana Piteira and Jonathan McFarlane went in search for a longer-term place to call home. They found it in this Coogee home, which they’ve been decorating ever since. 

Step inside and you’ll find a suite of curvaceous new and vintage furniture pieces, set amongst a punchy colour palette. Complementing the entire scheme are items from Ana’s home, accessories and clothing labels Reliquia Jewellery, Blanca Studio, Valet Studio, Aeyre Home and Respiro, all encompassed under her company, Reliquia Collective!

The Tastiest Tuesdays of 2015 · Mushroom Ragú with Creamy Polenta – The Design Files | Australia's most popular design blog.

It’s no secret we’re big fans of local foodie Julia Busuttil Nishimura of OSTRO, we keep inviting her back to contribute to Tasty Tuesday and luckily for us, she keeps saying yes! Today we revisit her incredible creamy polenta and mushroom ragú, inspired by time living and studying abroad in Italy.

This series was extra special as Julia partnered with her real life bestie, local ceramicist Jessilla Rogers, to create a range of plates and bowls to perfectly complement the menu. DREAM TEAM.

 

 

The Home Of The Design Files’ Managing Editor, Sally Tabart!

Today is a very exciting day in The Design Files (currently virtual) office, as we’re bringing you the home of our very own managing editor, Sally Tabart!

Sally and her partner Jeremy bought this Thornbury 1920s double-fronted bungalow in June of 2019. Although the couple and their housemates have only been in the house for just under a year, they’ve wasted no time in making it their own! The house is filled with vintage pieces and art by local creatives, all of which express Sally’s eternally sunny personality (with lots of TDF ‘Easter Eggs’ in there!) 

We know you’re going to love this one!

A timber boardwalk snakes through the diverse coastal plant life in a botanical patchwork of vibrant green and cool silver, leading down to a viewing platform for visitors to enjoy the sweeping views across the bay. A must see!
