Top fashion illustrator Kerrie Hess, sister of Megan, has released a range of limited edition, handcrafted ballet flats – and are we ever in love with them; especially this heart-melting pair of Frenchie Flats (rrp $295).

Designed in conjunction with artisanal shoe brand Ballettonet, the eight elegant styles draw inspiration from Hess’ former home in Paris, and come in a range of nappa and suede leathers – with her signature French bulldog in each insole. ●

Speakeasies were the Studio 54s of their day – the hedonistic hangouts of colourful characters, cool dudes and feisty chicks, where class and social barriers were discarded with decadent abandon. Benny Roff, erstwhile manager of Borsch, Vodka and Tears, has produced a gorgeous little book of 200 classic cocktail recipes, accompanied by cheery 1920s-style illustrations by Georgia Perry. It’s bound to have you doing the Charleston on the table. ● Speakeasy, 200 Underground Cocktails,

The time is now Was there ever a timepiece so stately?

Rolex’s new-generation Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40 is described as “the president’s watch”, as much for its function and styling as for the dignitaries who have adopted it. The modernised design features a 40-millimetre case and a mechanical movement, calibre 3255, which sets a new standard in chronometric performance. Pair with the equally cutting-edge Lady-Datejust 28. ● Oyster Perpetual Day-Date, 40mm, pink gold, rrp $47,550; platinum, rrp $79,150. » www.rolex.com Inquiries 9654 3988

women who swoon at the mere mention of this week’s cover star, Lucy Feagins.

This delightfully sunny blogger with a sharp eye for all that’s stylish has changed the way thousands of us shop, decorate our homes and generally view the world, thanks to her extraordinarily successful website, The Design Files. What started as a hobby just seven years ago is now undoubtedly Australia’s most popular and influential design blog, attracting more than one million page impressions a month. Not to mention TDF’s Instagram, which boasts 137,000 followers.

Such is TDF’s popularity that designers, artisans and craftspeople know a nod on the site can catapult them from backyard to big time almost overnight.

So who is this agenda-setting doyenne of design, and what’s the key to her success? Read Andrew McUtchen’s interview inside. ●

T

he hipsters who opened the terrific new café across the road from me didn’t need to be told twice: if you want instant style, instant cool – go birch.

Blond wood or limed wood, the look of a fine, pale timber gives you instant Scandinavian credibility at a time when it’s probably the most recognisable (and internationally traded) design currency going around. How do they do it?

From chairs and tables to lamps, bedding, kitchenware and even toys – ah, those gorgeous Brio trains – Scandinavian style is the design high-water mark of our generation.

Everything else is an attempt to catch up.

As design, and its rise and fall with fashion favour, infiltrates every corner of our lives, it’s getting harder to detect and define a design vernacular of our own. Design may well be the best example of the triumph of free trade there is. But what about the local vision? And what about the design, both imported and local, that becomes woven into the warp and weft of the city itself?

I don’t need to list the architectural and

“it is soft, quiet and stunningly beautiful”

TRUS COTT LOUN GE \ HAM ER HALL

design achievements of Melbourne’s gold boom – the wonderfully overdecorated, overengineered and overwhelmingly lovely Victoriana of a rich, proud city. So how about some contemporary design achievements?

And not just of the hipster kind?

I’d like to celebrate the beauty and functionality of our low-floor trams, designed by Canadian transportation firm Bombardier and built in Dandenong.

A pleasure from the moment the doors slide open, they combine history with innovation – and they make the most wonderful whooshing sound as they go by.

Of course, there’s the RMIT Design Hub, that now-iconic city building of interlocked glass discs designed by Sean Godsell with

Peddle Thorp. Every time I drive past I wonder how they clean it.

The interiors of the Melbourne Recital Centre, in particular the Elisabeth Murdoch Hall, with its warm walls of hoop-pine, all rooms tuned as finely as a Guarneri: lavish examples of beauty in service of functionality.

I’ve saved the best for last, although admittedly it’s just a little bit old: nestled inside Sir Roy Grounds’ still-glorious Hamer Hall, like a jewel inside a velvet box, is the exquisite little room known as the Truscott Lounge – named, of course, for John Truscott, the talented and flamboyant designer and artistic director who won two Academy Awards for his costume design on Camelot.

This tiny little room is shaped like an egg

Magnificent retirement living apartments with sublime shared spaces and services, now selling.

and fitted out in emerald green velvet, gold leaf and brass. It is soft, quiet and stunningly beautiful, with a cunning little window looking down onto the excited throngs as they gather for the next performance.

If you are lucky, you might be invited to drinks or dinner here – as I have been just once – and you can feel the confident and powerful spirit of Truscott, who designed the original interiors of Hamer Hall, abiding still in this glorious little room. Just to remind you who’s boss, one of Truscott’s Academy Awards resides in an exquisite little cabinet.

I like that one of our great design achievements is something of a loosely held secret, and I like that a bold Melbourne designer had a hand in it. It’s not something made of birch, it’s not something that can be mass-produced (or put together with an Allen key) but it is quintessentially confident, proud, Marvellous Melbourne – even down to the lashings of gold. ● Virginia Trioli is co-host of ABC News Breakfast on ABC1 and ABC News 24, 6-9am weekdays

Lucy

we love

Andrew McUtchen meets the brains behind Australia’s leading design blog

I

t happens so often, and with such immediate impact, that Lucy Feagins has a name for it. It’s called The Design Files Effect (TDFE), and its mark is quick. Many hundreds have experienced this effect after their business, home or product was featured on the perennial online zeitgeist that is The Design Files, a warm-hearted interiors and design blog, founded by Lucy in 2008, which highlights interesting people, standout products and beautiful spaces.

I am better placed than most to comment on TDFE, because my until-then fairly ordinary life as a freelance journalist was completely overturned by it in the space of a few hours in December 2012. I was tee-dee-eff-eed – big time. My wife and I made more money in the two days after Lucy’s enthusiastic post about our little online vintage business than I ever thought was possible. It was raining money. It was obscene.

It was the best. It was short-lived. All too soon it began to dawn on us, with a sickening lurch, that we now had to fulfil all these orders pouring into our Paypal account like the most brilliant of bank errors.

If there is an engine powering this effect and TDF’s success in general, aside from the site’s significant traffic, it is Lucy’s rampant, relentless enthusiasm. Hers is the smiling face (coupled with a peppering of exclamation marks!) that has launched a thousand start-ups. And far from being a flash in the pan, The Design Files has simmered over its seven-year life, become rich in flavour and ended up achieving the rare, practically unheard of status as an Australian new-media staple. It became a Country Style for the digital age, a Humans of New York of interiors – way before there was such a thing to even compare it to.

The idea for TDF came while Lucy was working as a set dresser and props buyer in film and television. She was an avid follower of international design blogs, but found them difficult to relate to. She spied a niche for a more down-to-earth, Australian, voice and started writing.

What began as a hobby in 2008 quickly gained traction; within a year The Times in 8 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ JULY 29, 2015

Britain had named it one of the top 50 design blogs in the world – although she didn’t quit her day job until 2010.

Lucy’s carefully curated mix of daily posts on designs from emerging and established Australian talents, and weekly tours of stylish homes, coupled with her engaging personal tone and compelling photos have attracted a large and enthusiastic following, with more than one million page impressions a month.

Clearly the problem for Lucy has never been success. Rather, the challenge has been managing the identity shift that is inevitable when you have too much of it too quickly.

When, in a matter of years, not decades, you go from the disrupter – in 2008, her brand of personal, passionate storytelling was starkly at odds with the mainstream interiors media of the day which was, frankly, up itself – to the disruptable.

“The The Design Files is actually in a weird place,” Lucy says, with a long pause. “It’s having a bit of an identity crisis because it now has quite, quite broad appeal but at its heart it’s still an indie thing.”

In her estimation, the site is not seven years old. “It’s actually 80,” she says – in “internet years”. It’s a concept so immediately true and brilliant, it should be in the 2016 dictionary.

While Lucy has cleverly adapted TDF to new platforms such as Pinterest and Instagram – she has 137,000 Instagram followers – the maturing of the brand into a media staple continues to challenge her. “For a long time TDF’s personality was about the fact that it came from nowhere and just took off. Now it feels, well, established. So where does our personality fit, now that we are in that position?”

She furrows her brow. “That’s why I’m always trying to push our team (she now has two full-time staff) to do something new because I feel like my enthusiasm needs to be there to keep it going. I still want to be inspired by TDF, I don’t want to just do the same thing every year. So we’ve been doing films, which is a massive investment of time

o what’s the next step? Lucy says her web developer has registered the domain name “lucysaysno.com”. He told her “There’s your next project,’’ suggesting she use it as a platform for everything that didn’t make the cut for The Design Files.

“I think it’s hilarious,” says Lucy, “but I’m not doing that, even though Lucy does say no.

People have no idea how often Lucy says no.”

She says Melbourne has played a significant part in TDF’s sustained success. “I don’t know if I could have started it anywhere else,” she says. “We have really been inspired by and I think also in turn kind of inspired the creative community in Melbourne. The fact that there are so many people here doing cool stuff has really given us a reason for being.”

Which brings Lucy to one of her “greatest achievements’’. She immediately seems to regret the phrasing. “It’s so silly,” she says, blushing. “I used to work in TV so I don’t usually value TV appearances that much, but a year or so ago on that show Offspring there was a character who was supposed to be an interior designer or something, and there was a scene where she was checking her emails on her phone. An email in her inbox was from

us. I thought, well maybe we’re part of the cultural fabric of Melbourne if we’re on that really Melbourne show!”

It turns out the fabric of Melbourne is set to be inexorably changed by Lucy, in the most literal sense. She is in the process of designing and building a house in Fitzroy with her partner, Gordon Johnson.

It’s a tiny project, just 100 square metres on the site of a former storage shed. They’ve contracted architects Kennedy Nolan, but Lucy admits she’s “just a tiny bit terrified because the houses I love are not the brand new, shiny ones. I love the layered ones that have a sense of history.”

So what has Melbourne’s design doyenne learnt in the process of building her own house? “Oh boy,” she enthuses. “You shouldn’t just start with pictures and magazines and then work backwards because that’s just imposing someone else’s life. The truth is we’re both workaholics so it might be a bed with an office. We’re focusing on a place for just the two of us and maybe kids down the track. We’ve made a choice not to design in this weird way for an imagined life.” ● amcutchen@theweeklyreview.com.au » The Design Files is holding a fund-raiser exhibition featuring works by 29 Australian artists in support of the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre.

“We feature a real Australian home every week and these are always the most popular stories on our site. We especially love featuring mid-century homes.

and money for such a small operation. We don’t do anything on the cheap any more. We really shoot things properly. But then I look at the site and I think that sometimes we have lost a bit of magic because it does look so slick and professional. I don’t think we are that underdog any more …”

who just won’t get out of the bath even if dinner is on the table. Mostly, though, I’m hoping she can work out a way to stop people who live in warmer climates from posting their daily temperature simply so they can annoy Melbourne people. Same for those who are on holiday in Bali.

I’m not convinced people posting screen shots of today’s weather forecasts in Melbourne are that helpful either. Yes, it’s cold here but there are advantages to the current climate, including having a really good excuse to stay inside in pyjamas all day. Warm fires, soft cardigans, hot chocolate. My kids played soccer a couple of weeks ago and it didn’t stop raining the whole way through and into the entire day. While they just did it and actually loved the muddiness of it all, the parents are still talking about the horror of it.

“i’m guessing that for all of us, including siri, it’s been one of those weeks”

(ISTOCK THINKSTOCK)

iri has started calling 911 when asked to charge a mobile phone to 100 per cent. It is causing confusion in the US and Canada and a fair amount of “funny things to ask Siri” Twitter chatter, although no one is, nor should be, suggesting anyone try it themselves. The online forums seem to think she might be confused because “charge” sounds like “call”, and the number 100 is also very close to the emergency services numbers in India and other parts of Asia.

But I am worried about Siri because she let me down this week, too. I asked her to text someone and she told me she was very sorry but she couldn’t answer my questions right now.

I’m guessing that for all of us, including Siri, it’s been one of those weeks. I haven’t yet resorted to calling the cops on people but, you know, it’s all just winter funk around here at the moment. The kids won’t get out of bed because it’s dark in the mornings. It’s been raining so the dogs haven’t had a walk and the washing is piling up and falling out of the

laundry. All this, and the teachers are saying they’re still stuck in Bali.

Now dear old Siri, the little Apple helper they call sassy but I’m not convinced, has gone and given up. The reality for me is that, until last week, I actually didn’t know she could text people on my behalf … that is the true nature of my late-adopting behaviour. In fact, there’s a whole world of things I didn’t know she could do.

Once she gets out of her funk, I’m actually wondering if she can: • Put my eight-year-old’s school clothes on the heater first thing in the morning so they’re warm for her. I did it for her this morning and it helped move her along a bit. Better, though, if Siri can do it first up.

• Get the coffee going at the same time.

Anyway …

• Sort out a way to dry washing in winter without using a dryer.

I’d also like her to work out what food I can cook that can actually suit everyone in the house, be reasonably nutritious and able to be served at different times because of the comings and goings around here to do with soccer training, work timetables and people

EIRA

1 Pryor Street, Eltham 8407 3839 THE VIBE \ Tucked just off the main drag, Eira is large but still feels homely; it’s the type of place that would suit just about any sort of occasion.

THE DÉCOR \ Light and bright compared with some others in the area – thanks to the large windows. Spacious timber tables, a faux fireplace and soft colours feature inside.

THE CROWD \ Lunchtime drop-ins like me, tradies tucking into beer o’clock, families, and professionals. Eira’s got them all.

(SCOTT McNAUGHTON)

ollowing flash-in-the pan restaurant openings is not for the faint-hearted. But when Plan A fails and you’re cold, hungry and rejected, it pays to have a back-up.

Tonight Kong, 12 months old and already an institution, is our Plan B. It’s part of the Lucas Group, headed by Chris Lucas, the Midas behind Chin Chin. And it’s been on my must-go list since last July.

Of course, queues normally line the pavement here, too, but tonight we’re in luck – it’s mid-winter, there’s a parking spot outside and, with a smile from a handsome attendant, a table is ours.

“It’s all about the buns,” our hip UK-accented waitress tell my companions.

And before I can suggest we explore the depths of the menu, we’re ordering buns all round, plus the wings, the ribs, the 16-hour bossam, or pork brisket, and finally a Japanese cabbage slaw.

On reflection, this seems exactly the right way to approach dinner here. These dishes reflect “essence of Kong” – the charcoal grill, borrowings from Korea and Japan and a pinch of feisty flamboyance.

Space is at a premium under the fluorescent lighting at Kong. Tuck in your elbows and mind your neighbour’s back. The look is part cafeteria and part furniture warehouse, with cutesy backlit posters of the restaurant’s mascot panda.

Our food arrives in a flurry and fills the tiny table. There’s a brief glitch with our drink orders but it’s quickly sorted with a smile.

THE FOOD \ Expect your standard fare done well. The tapas menu is expansive, as is the breakfast list, which is offered until 3pm.

spiced with the same Kong magic. The barbecue pork ribs contain crazy-messy amounts of sauce, but it’s the brisket, with its candied nuggets of walnut and its mellow, moreish kimchi, that I’d happily queue for. ● LEANNE TOLRA ltolra@theweeklyreview.com.au

Cellar Notes VERSUS

I

don’t often do things by halves, but this week I have. I’ve been tasting half-bottles.

We’re most familiar with half-bottles for wines such as sherry, and sticky dessert wines. Fino sherry has a short shelf-life and is best fresh from the winery and drunk immediately after it’s opened.

With dessert wines and fortifieds such as muscat and topaque, it’s hard to drink more than a glass at a time and the half-bottle is just the right measure.

Table wines in half-bottles are a different proposition. Few wines make it into 375-millilitre bottles. It’s a shame, because the half-bottle has plenty to offer.

First, there’s the convenience of a bottle that contains about four standard drinks.

A half-bottle beats trying to store leftover wine if you’re not going to finish the bottle the next day.

They also let you try more expensive wines without breaking the bank.

Quite a bit of high-end burgundy and bordeaux is imported in half-bottles.

The smaller bottle tends to age the wine a little faster than bigger bottles, so the

S TAT E L Y STATELY

SWEET

contents can be a bit more developed and approachable when young.

You’ll find half-bottles at most bottle shops but there’s usually slim pickings. For a bigger range, try South Melbourne and Essendon retailer Prince Wine Store and Armadale Cellars. ● BEN THOMAS bthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au

Macedon master Curly Flat has just released its 2013 pinot noir noir, but its award-winning 2011 is still available in half-bottles ($26). Its perfumed cherry, raspberry and spice flavours flow with effortless intensity. 94/100 WILD MUSHROOM ARANCINI BALLS & AIOLI

SWEET

The best sticky wines are fresh and vibrant with rich, complex flavours. Rymill’s 2013 June Traminer ($21.50), made from botrytis-infected gewürztraminer grapes picked when the grapes are hanging raisined on the vines, is a good example.

Gloriously aromatic, with blossom, apricot and lime, its intense flavours are balanced by well-pitched, zippy citrus acid. 91/100

THE FIND This four-in-one wine accessory by Nuance is an aerator, filter, pourer and stopper. The perforated exterior and three filters will decant and aerate a full bottle of wine as you pour it. The rubber grip creates an airtight stopper. It’s drop-dead gorgeous, too. ●

“I’ve never been offered a part, so I wrote myself one” (STEPHEN BACCON)

– TIM FREEDMAN

or three years in the early 1970s, Harry Nilsson was one of the world’s biggest pop stars. Famous for his angelic voice and poignant songwriting, his success was all the more impressive given he never toured or performed any major live gigs. A quick slide into alcoholism and commercial obscurity meant that Nilsson became, at best, a cult figure.

Tim Freedman, front man of Australian rock group The Whitlams, is doing what he can to return Nilsson to the public memory. He’s already performed sell-out seasons of a cabaret night featuring the artist’s greatest hits, but his new show Everybody’s Talkin’ ’bout Me has a more theatrical bent, inviting us into Nilsson’s den to hear his tale first-hand. I wonder if this is the first step in the Aussie singer branching out into an acting career.

“It hasn’t been my ambition,” Tim says. “I’ve never been offered a part, so I wrote myself one. It’s harder than Hamlet. Harry’s on stage for a similar amount of time, but he has to sing a lot more.”

Tim spent a great deal of time researching his subject, drawing on recent biographies, documentaries and a box set of Nilsson’s recordings.

He’s keen to deflate some myths surrounding the singer – including the legend that Nilsson suffered

from terrible AS HA RRY NI LSSON stage fright.

“It’s one of the central questions; why didn’t someone with a voice like that perform live? He was one of the first on the piano at parties. When he needed the money later in his career and should have toured, he probably couldn’t because his voice had been like a briefly blooming flower.”

This latest incarnation of the show tracks Nilsson into a downward spiral of booze and drugs, ending with his premature death in 1994. It might sound like a gruelling night at the theatre, but Tim insists otherwise.

“He was great company, Harry. He was sought out by the rich and famous to get smashed with, for two or three days at a time. I try to find the stories that show what a charming rapscallion he was. It’s not theatre from the school of rehab. There’s plenty of laughs and good songs.”● mbartlett@theweeklyreview.com.au

Where do you go for a coffee?

Espresso 3094. It was one of the first places we went to get coffee when we were moving in. It’s run by local people and they are so awesome and friendly. They remember us every time we go in.

For some meat?

We love Paul’s Butchery. We get sausages for us and some chicken for our dogs, but just as much as that, we go in and have a chat with the people there.

For a sneaky takeaway?

There is a Thai place in Lower Plenty called Kai Mook.

That’s our go-to place when we want to binge-watch Game of Thrones. They make a really mean green chicken curry.

For some time out?

I’ll take the dogs for a walk around the area. It’s glorious on a summer evening. It’s an amazing suburb – there’s all these houses from the 1950s to really contemporary styles.

It’s this big mishmash but really lovely because it’s a green, leafy suburb that is safe and family-oriented.

For work?

I work from home, and I go into the post office every day to send off online orders. The people there are lovely.

They only recently took over but they’ve transformed the whole shop and they know me by name. That’s what Montmorency’s all about. It’s almost like they’re colleagues; whenever I go in there I don’t feel like I’m doing work.

For a new outfit?

Savers in Greensborough. I don’t really want to tell you that, though, because then everyone else will find out and there’ll be nothing left for me. ●

Siss & Co. has recently launched its first website and online store. Visit sissandco.com to check it out.

After starting off in Macleod, with a store named Fifty Four, Katherine Castorina and her mother Anna moved to Ivanhoe and started up Siss & Co. Katherine also shares her time with the Ivanhoe Traders’ Association, of which she is vice-president.

Who’s behind the counter?

Katherine owns and operates the shop, alongside Anna, who takes care of buying and ordering. “We are truly a mother-and-daughter team,” Katherine says. “We put everything into our boutique and go that extra mile for the customer.” Like most shop owners, Katherine says seeing customers leave with a satisfied smile is what gets them out of bed in the morning.

What’s in store?

“We do predominately Australian designer labels,” Katherine says. That runs the gamut from handbags and shoes to clothing and accessories. The shop boasts an impressive range of popular labels and has recently introduced its own line of leathergoods.

ow in year 8, Natalie Wallis blossomed in her first year at Methodist Ladies’ College thanks partly to her close relationship with drama teacher Jenine Caruso, who was also her year 7 home-group teacher. The pair worked together on last year’s Junior School musical, Honk, and Jenine helped Natalie to manage her many academic and sporting pursuits, particularly calisthenics.

Jenine is a dramatic arts and home-group teacher, currently teaching year 7, 10 and 12 drama. ● ccritchley@theweeklyreview.com.au

STUDENT PHOTO HERE

(SCOTT McNAUGHTON)

his is my 13th year here, but my 35th year of teaching. I’ve always been at girls’ schools. I love it all, but I really love year 7. I very strongly feel that if you get year 7 right they are ready to fly. With somebody like Nat, as a home-group teacher it was lovely to have a student who just enjoys everything about school. Outside school she loves her calisthenics and that’s a really important part of her life too. In their transition here, we hear about those sorts of things.

Whatever you do with your home group, you’re thrilled if someone’s an athlete or a mathematician, or whatever – you love to find that passion in any of them. But there’s that extra bonding if their passion is the subject area that you teach. As a home-group teacher I also taught them drama. Nat was very interested in drama as a subject. She got fully involved in the musical that I directed. We had rehearsals at lunch and after school and a couple of weekend rehearsals. It’s a totally different relationship, because you’re just supporting their interests.

Some of the girls have a big external commitment … that was probably the only area of anxiety in Nat’s transition. She likes to do everything really well, or not at all. The home-group teacher can be the person that you talk to, and say, “How do I balance all of this?” I was pretty keen for her to be in the musical. I knew that she was a mad-keen dancer and an excellent dancer. We worked together to make sure that it worked in. We also engaged in a lot of mindfulness activities.

All the drama that Nat’s done has helped her. She has hosted assemblies and been very poised and confident. In year 7, students go on camp with their home-group teacher. With her calisthenics, Natalie’s constantly doing the splits or a handstand. On the yacht, she did a handstand against the mast and sailed in. No one had been able to do it. To me that really summed her up. She’s got great courage, will give things a go and has the tenacity to keep going until she gets it right. This year Nat does speech and drama lessons and she’s involved in the drama department. While I’m not her teacher at the moment, I’m certainly still part of Nat’s life. ●

NATALIE IE SA SAYS …

I

’ve always really liked drama. I’m also doing choir and I did tennis in term 1 and netball in term 2. Outside school I do calisthenics, netball, tennis and assist in coaching a netball team. I enjoy my sport but I also like my academic subjects. I try my hardest in every subject. I like everything that I do to be really good and, basically, almost perfect. I’m doing French and I’m in the advanced maths class and I like English and reading and story writing. I like history because I like learning about the past. So far I have three career choices … actor, vet or physiotherapist.

Because Mrs Caruso was the director of the musical and also my home-group teacher, she encouraged the whole class to get into the musical.

It’s good to have a teacher who’s always there, having confidence in you when you don’t really have confidence in yourself. We did Honk (the ugly duckling). I was Beaky, one of the perfect siblings. There were four of us. It was good fun. The acting from the musical helped me improve my acting skills for calisthenics. Calisthenics has acting, but with musicals there is much more of an acting focus.

I used to be a bit shy. By the end of last year, with the help of teachers like Mrs Caruso, who said, “Just do it; just go for it”, I was much more confident.

Mrs Caruso said, “Don’t be shy to act it up and be yourself”. This year I hosted the welcome assembly. As a year 8 student, I welcomed all the year 7s and year 8s. I’ve also been on exchange to Hong Kong. Last year Hong Kong students came to us and this year I went over to them.

I like the way Mrs Caruso is always there for me and all the other students, and she’s always encouraging and giving you good opinions and building up your confidence.

Last year we had “big sisters”, who were year 11s, but Mrs Caruso was like another big sister. It was like a big family in the classroom.

I still do put some pressure on myself, but it’s good to know that somebody is trying to help me get everything in order and always there for me if I need a little bit of help. I am looking forward to continuing to try new things at school. ● JULY 29, 2015 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 19

WE LOVE IT

I

n this day and age, the challenge for any builder of luxury, period-style houses is getting the balance right. It’s about recreating old-fashioned elegance without compromising comfort or confusing opulence with ostentation. This house is a fine example of this, and has luxury and liveability in equal measure.

Built in 1997, the house is old enough to look convincingly classic from the outside, but young enough to have everything a modern family needs indoors.

It begins with a façade that impresses on first sight. Smoke spirals up from the central chimney, set in a roof of the grey slate tiles common to houses in provincial France.

Beyond the vine-draped wrought-iron boundary fence is a pebbled forecourt and heavy double doors dusted with rust.

A double garage for him and another for her flank the façade. Like some of the avenues in the leafy east, on the other side of the Yarra, Locksley Road is lined with mature plane trees.

From out here, you can already hear the tinkling of the piano music inside. The vendors, the only family to live here since the house was built, have kept their grand piano in the lounge.

Whether playing or listening, this space is the ideal place to unwind by the fire. It is, however, in the nearby dining room where the house’s old-world elegance is most evident.

At almost nine metres long, the space can accommodate a 10- or 12-seat dining table for grand dinner parties. Just imagine the glasses glistening beneath the two stunning crystal chandeliers.

Everyday living takes place in a space with soaring ceilings, a fireplace and french doors leading out to a north-facing courtyard and to the back patio and pool area. There’s a spacious and luxurious powder room nearby.

Stairs lead up from the family hub to the large, galley-style kitchen, which has granite benches, a Miele cooktop and new Bosch ovens. At one end, the kitchen connects to the laundry, and at the other to the gorgeous meals area that is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, with views out to the pool.

In warmer months, you can entertain by the water’s edge or beneath the pergola in the backyard.

When the kids get older, this would be the ideal spot for them to hang out with their friends. They’ll also have access to the lower-level studio, which could easily be transformed into a gym.

Accommodation is also family friendly. Three good-sized bedrooms, with built-in wardrobes, occupy the kids’ wing.

They share a big bathroom with a bath and separate shower.

The main bedroom runs parallel to the dining room and is similarly large. It opens to a dressing room and then to a luxurious en suite with twin stone-topped vanities and a spa.

The house also has a study with built-in cabinets and desk and views of another courtyard fitted with a water feature.

As well as function and form, this house gets the balance right on location. Locksley Road is quiet and sleepy, yet only a moment from Ivanhoe station and the shops and services on Upper Heidelberg Road. In the other direction, it’s an easy stroll to Ivanhoe Park. ● LIAM CARTER property@theweeklyreview.com.au

You can tell when a house has been renovated quickly for sale. And you can tell when the renovation has been a labour of love completed over time. The owners of this once-simple, modest brick house have given it such a stunning makeover that the interiors would not look out of place in a design magazine. The vendors took advantage of a split-level floor plan to create light and contemporary living spaces. The kitchen is among the standout features. It has a cleverly designed stone breakfast bar, glass splashback and funky light-fittings. A similar level of craftsmanship can be found in the tiled bathrooms. One has a floating timber vanity and a walk-in frameless glass shower, the other has a large bath and separate shower. The property also has an outdoor entertainment area enclosed by a landscaped, low-maintenance garden. The elevated 881-square-metre corner block has a double carport, second patio and shed. The Diamond Creek station and shops are less than a 10-minute walk away. ● LIAM CARTER

This property poses an opportunity to get into Walter Burley Griffin’s celebrated Glenard Estate. Period charm and easy living make for great lifestyle appeal and impressive gardens act as a leafy cocoon for a private life. High hedges around the corner block protect a manicured front garden and a classic façade. The solid-brick construction and the single-level floor plan will be popular and period interiors enhance comfortable living. High decorative ceilings are a highlight in the large, formal lounge and dining room. An open fireplace provides a focal point and double-hung sash windows let in north- and west-facing light. An open-plan living space has a curved island bench and stainless-steel appliances. Sliding doors lead to a glass-enclosed conservatory; an ingenious north-facing extension that has created an outdoor living room. Under the canopy of a towering tree, it allows the green surrounds to become part of an everyday experience. Under the canopy of a towering tree, this is a truly Glenard Estate setting. ● EMMA HOUGHTON

MACLEOD \ 10 SUGARLOAF LLOAF DRIVE For the hoards who are looking for expansive, low-maintenance living on the leafy Springthorpe Estate, this big family house will be on their OFI list this weekend.

A split-level, double-storey floor plan caters for a crowd, or a few crowds if entertaining groups is on your weekend agenda. A lounge on entry provides a separate venue to the open-plan kitchen, meals and living area on an upper split level, and a basement rumpus or theatre room is a another party zone altogether.

This carpeted downstairs level could easily be given over to the kids; an adjoining study provides good cover.

Polished hardwood floors are a defining feature of the contemporary cream interiors.

Coloured feature walls break up the cream palette in the bedrooms and plantation shutters work well in the lounge. Glossy floor tiles take over in the open-plan living zone, where a wall of glass showcases the elevated position and external stairs lead down to the rear courtyard for an extended entertainment area.

The Smeg and Caesarstone kitchen is equipped for playing host. One bedroom is on the ground floor and three bedrooms and two spa bathrooms can be found on the first floor, which has been given over to accommodation.

A large laundry with external access, a downstairs powder room, heating, cooling and an alarm are all bonus extras that increase the liveability here. ● EMMA HOUGHTON

HEIDELBERG \ 104 BANYULE ROAD An excellent floor plan with two living zones and a focus on an indoor/outdoor experience gives this house in the Viewbank College zone its edge. With its warm and inviting interiors and landscaped, leafy gardens, families will be drawn to more than just its stroll-to-school potential.

The lounge room with a wood heater introduces polished hardwood floors and cream interiors. Large windows take advantage of the north-facing front garden. The rear open-plan living zone features a wall of windows facing the rear garden. The updated kitchen, with Caesarstone benches, stainless-steel appliances and soft-closing drawers, will impress the home chef.

A wall of bifold doors extends this zone out to a deck that looks out to landscaped surrounds. The bluestone frame of the original garage has been kept in an inspired transformation that accommodates a burgeoning vine-covered pergola.

Three bedrooms are zoned on the ground floor with an updated family bathroom. The upstairs extension takes care of parents in style. A light-filled retreat is the perfect escape and the large main bedroom has an open walk-behind wardrobe and an en suite with a deep bath. Much like the location, this house has something to offer all members of the family. ● EMMA HOUGHTON
