Inside Out içinde January 2024 için içindekiler tablosu

January is the month for inspiration In anticipation of lazy days and long, hot after noons, January is all about thinking, wishing and dreaming, buying piles of lovely magazines (thank you!) and pulling together ideas for the home projects of 2024 – all the ways to make your life better, more fun and more beautiful. But this particular January, we will also be feeling slightly squeamish about the actual cost of creating that beauty at home. The economy is giving us the jitters, but not enough to halt our deep desire to decorate. While the budget may be tight, the will is strong, and that means finding new ways to create or enhance space. That’s where we start assessing some long-ter m, big-value moves, such as extensions, garden studios and…

PINEAPPLE STREET BY JENNY JACKSON Penguin, $32.99 When it comes to stories about monied families, Pineapple Street is more along the lines of The OC than Succession, not because it’s for teens, but in that the family’s frivolity and disconnection from reality is endearingly absurd rather than sinister. Set among New York’s onepercenters, Jenny Jackson’s debut novel follows three women – two sisters and one sister-in-law – as they grapple with what to do with their inher ited fortunes. While the sisters have grown up among fabulous dinner parties, summer homes and tennis whites, their brother’s wife struggles to be herself while living in one of the family’s ter races – a kind of living museum full of childhood relics that mustn’t be thrown away. Jackson’s examination of the disconnect…

Elise Heslop decided to hit pause on corporate life in 2012 and take her family on a gap year in Italy. After that, everything changed for the Melburnian. The sojourn had been a chance to spend more time with her husband and two boys, but it also freed her up to change careers altogether – and leap into the world of fur niture-making. “I’d spent a lot of years working in marketing for larger companies,” Elise explains. “But deep down inside, I’d always had a yearning to do something more creative. Our time in Italy – having freedom and space to explore all sorts of possibilities without expectations – gave me a new opportunity.” Dur ing that per iod, Elise met architect-tur ned-fur niture designer Paolo Cogliati from Totem Italia…

timber time Hard surfaces need softer neighbours Brick and concrete were selected as the building blocks of this Sydney home, bearing in mind that it would need some natural materials to balance and soften the semi-industrial look. First on the list was timber, in the form of flooring, windows, doors and furniture, followed by textiles such as curtains. At the entrance is this Maruni ‘Botan’ timber bench from SeehoSu, paired with a conversation-starting vintage print. Turn the page for more details.…

cheat sheet Who lives here A creative couple and their two high-school-age children. Style of home California bungalow with a new addition and separate studio. Location Preston, a suburb of inner Melbourne, on the traditional land of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people. Following 13 months of planning, the project was completed in 2021. Homes of the 1920s often cause a conundrum. They have beautiful heritage details, but are not designed for contemporary family living. One such property, a cute Califor nia bungalow located in an inner suburb of Melbour ne, had all the char m but was let down by an awkward floor plan typical of 100 years ago. In 2018, the homeowners turned to building designer Sam Bell of Bellhaus to rework the home into one suitable for their family,…

FAMILY HISTORY Adelaide sisters Emma Read (at left) and Sarah Hall grew up taking lots of road trips with their family and were excited to find a rustic house ripe for rejuvenation two hours’ drive away on the Yorke Peninsula. It is rare to find an original 1950s Australian beach shack for sale these days, especially on the beachfront. So, when sisters Emma Read and Sarah Hall found one just over two hours’ drive from their hometown, near Adelaide in South Australia, they were tickled pink. The sisters inspected the west-facing house late in the after noon, when the lemon sun was just setting into pastel pink and mauve hues on the sea’s far horizon, strengthening the sisters’ romantic connection to the house. “Once we knew the shack only had…

Ally Siejka @allysiejkaart What captured your interest in art? I remember flicking through an art book when I was in Year Five and seeing one of John Olsen’s big br ight abstract works. I was totally captivated and moved by the piece, and loved the bold, br ight colours. Since then, I have always been drawn to, and had a passion for, abstract art. How would you describe your art? I predominantly work with acrylic on canvas to produce abstract and still-life pieces as well as landscapes. How would you describe your artistic practice? Most of the time my practice is planned and thought out. I will sketch a vignette I have seen and then devise a colour palette that complements the piece and the feelings I want to emote.…

CHEAT SHEET Who lives here Janine Phillipson, a content creator, and Chris Silva, a project manager for LendLease, with children Vianney, 16, and Jay, 13, plus pet cats Nia and Coco. Style of home A four-bedroom home on two levels with a plant-filled void and a luxuriously open feel. Location Near Freshwater Beach in Sydney’s north, which is also known as Guringai country, the traditional lands of the Garigal people. The family bought the block in 2020 and moved in mid-2022. When Janine and Chris found a 1950s brick cottage on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, it was exactly what they were looking for: old and riddled with problems. Though the cottage was prime for a knockdown and rebuild, the block’s flat and sunny position was a winner. “Or ientation was really…

BUREAUX About six years ago, Abigail Rands was exploring a potential art project in the small Western Cape town of Tulbagh when she stumbled on a remarkable building. Her family owned a wine farm nearby, so she felt a strong connection to the area. Besides, she explains, “I like beautiful architecture, raw materials and good art.” The house had bucketloads of all three. It was one of the oldest buildings in the town – “the first monastery and mission school, established in 1797,” says Abigail. Its distinctive gables, thick whitewashed walls, wooden rafters and thatched roof were the very embodiment of traditional Cape winelands architecture. “Those old buildings are made from the finest raw materials, old thick clay and stone walls. The walls breathe, and the buildings stay warm in…

Q&A JIMMY CALLAWAY ON HIS DELECTA BLE CR EATIONS What makes a truly ‘cult’ sando? A range of things. It could be simple or extravagant ingredients, but the defining feature of a great sando is the texture and combination of flavours. But more often than not, simplicity wins hand over fist. Why do you think the sando has such universal appeal? So many of us are intr igued by travel and culture, and you see it all there in a beautifully made sando: the perfect blend of transience and multi-culturalism. How important is presentation and technique in achieving the perfect finished product? As with just about everything the Japanese do, they approach almost every task with the philosophy of ikigai (one’s life passion) and to give your full focus to…
