Mariana Garcia-Katz + Family – The Design Files | Australia's most popular design blog.

We love a garden that feels relaxed and real – an outdoor space that has evolved over time, and without too much forward planning.

Today our gardens columnist Georgina Reid introduces to one such garden – a colourful, creative and much loved Melbourne garden, belonging to Melbourne designer / photographer Mariana Garcia-Katz and her family, in Thornbury.

A Personal Guide to Venice's Art and Culture

As Head of Art at Leonard Joel auction house, Sophie Ullin is one lucky woman who has the job of frequenting the world’s premier art fairs, exhibitions and biennales. Yet, of all her incredible experiences (we’re feeling the #FOMO!), the city that has captivated her the most, and inspired her own personal guide is… Venice!

After being part of the Australia Council tour group to the City of Canals for the past two decades, earlier this year Sophie decided it was time to release The Venice Book.  For this hardcover, she’s also enlisted an awe-inspiring band of creatives, travel editors, art aficionados and philanthropists to open their own ‘black books and memory banks’ and offer up the best of the city, from fabulous artworks, churches and museums to authentic eateries and artisanal treasure troves. There’s also a solid-gold guide to navigating the Biennale, the ‘Olympics of the art world’, which is on now.

Today, Sophie gives us an insight into her Venice highlights – get your itinerary app ready!

The Sunny And Bright Home Of A Doula And Her Family.

When our photographer and stylist went to document doula Sunni Hart’s Eltham home, they were immediately welcomed by six year old Fox, who confidently took them on a tour of his room, introduced them to his pet fish, and the balcony where he feeds the parrots.

While Fox’s guided explanation is for visitors only, today we share Sunni’s tour of this dreamy gum-tree surrounded rental that she shares with partner Pete Baxter, and kids Fox (6) and Dizzy (8 months).
