Remember a little while ago I posted about illustrator Neryl Walker's stunning Home Beautiful kitchen makeover?
Well, the gorgeous before and after shots got me more than a little curious about the rest of Neryl's home... so I asked if she would share some more of her beautiful 1950's-inspired pad in East St Kilda. Lucky for us Neryl has generously shared a shot of almost every room in the house... and is it just me or is every room absolute gold!?
Not everyone could pull off such a stylised home... but it seems Neryl was perhaps born into the wrong era! The pink and green bathroom.... agghhhhh tooo gorgeous! It's so nice to see all the original 50's features proudly shown off, rather than ripped out and replaced with contemporary, generic cabinetry and fittings! Even the brand new, somewhat space-age(!) kitchen has maintained Neryl's unique sense of style and retro-inspired detailing.
Aaaaghh. Cutest bathroom in the WORLD? Perhaps?It all feels fabulously technicolour... like a set from Bewitched or I dream of Jeannie - only a little more rock 'n roll!
Love your work Neryl! Thanks so much for sharing! xx
A cluttered hallway never looked so good...
Neryl's workspace - those are her paintings up top.
Wow - she's got some sweet vintage finds!

ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I can't take all the credit here, my husband art director Tim Haynes and I have been collecting for years. Of course he has awesome taste and a keen eye! Even some of the artwork is his.
ReplyDeleteHi Lucy! I love the style of this place. I love all the little things and the way that she has put all the little things together. So sweet.

We Baby Boomers take great comfort in retro interiors. It looks a safe and relaxing haven.
ReplyDeleteNeryl Rocks!
ReplyDeleteLove her home! Especially the patio set up. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh wow - just so fabulous! I love seeing such personalised style. You can tell it's a home that's lived in, and not just for show, and that Neryl and Tim are passionate about their personal style and collections.
ReplyDeleteTruly inspiring.
Fabulous! This would be my dream abode.
ReplyDeleteThis is simply bliss!
ReplyDeleteWow - wonderful !!!
ReplyDeleteThe bathroom is so often left out of features on amazing homes - I'm so happy to see you included the bathroom. What a bathroom! x
