I’ve always been interested to see how other people live. I think we all have a little bit of a voyeur inside us, that’s why tabloids and shelter magazines sell so well. But I think what’s even more interesting is to see how peoples lives change, and how they express that within their surroundings, and seeing how their homes evolve as a stage for the drama of life. The homes of Sydney-siders Peter Lin and John Wilson are certainly no exception. Their apartment – published in Vogue Living back in 2010 – captivated me when I first saw it. The richness of the colour took my breath away. It was so dramatic and unlike anything I’d seen before. So when I stumbled upon the images of their new home in the recent Inside Out magazine, I was a little surprised to say the least. They’ve kept a lot of their art and furnishings (which comforts me, for some reason), but its different because of its distinct lack of colour. That is to say, its not completely white, but it almost looks it when compared to their previous home. Not sure if I’m as captivated, but I still love the mix of stuff they have, and Iain Halliday has done a great job (again) of artfully arranging it all.

I love this bedroom – it’s blissfully serene. The suspension lights are by 
The Christian Liaigre chaise in the master bedroom was originally designed for Rupert Murdoch.
The same dark wood from the kitchen is used in the bathroom, along with cararra marble, to great effect. 
Four antique doors open up the living room to the sitting room. On the far wall is an English neo-gothic bookcase.
