Blue Hues

A Vision in Blue

The cold and rainy weather has persisted here in the Northeast but we’re not singing the blues (despite what you may have thought after Monday’s Mood!)  In fact, we’re basking in the beauty of them with this Sydney home of Nellie Tilley featured in the March-April issue of Vogue Living Australia.  It’s hard to believe that Nellie lives here with her three young boys – how does she keep the textured velvets and bright silks so spotless?!

A Friendly Family Room

Kitchen Love

This talented designer’s vision of her future home went something like this: a gorgeous, classic structure but rundown so that she could make it her own.  A 1890’s “terrace” in the Sydney suburbs was exactly what she was looking for.  “I walked in and thought, ‘This is my house'” explains Nellie, and she bought it the same day.

Divine Dining

Sitting Pretty

The end result is a light-filled space that is as elegant as it is child-friendly, a homey home filled with personality that must be the envy of the neighborhood!

    What a beautiful home! A homey home is a must, but I love that hers is elegant, too, without sacrificing the homeyness. This one is going in the inspiration files, thanks!

    What a beautiful home! Like you said, I don’t know how she has 3 boys living in silks; she must have trained them well 🙂

    Wow, she has managed to blend elegance, warmth and “family-friendliness” all into a really lovely home – thanks for the tour!

    Just love this interior, the blues and that dark dark table are stunning.
    Maybe her boys are tied up somewhere?!
