It’s getting harder and harder to avoid using superlatives and/or CAPITAL LETTERS when sharing these incredible Australian Homes every Wednesday.
I mean REALLY.
HOW AMAZING and truly unique is the Northcote studio and home of Melbourne artists Kirra Jamison and Dane Lovett? Omigod! Incredible. One of my absolute favourites so far. (Must admit I have about 5).
There are so many ace things about this home! The fact that it’s both a functional living and working space for Kirra and Dane. The fact that it’s a rental, and yet Kirra and Dane have firmly put their creative stamp on the place. The fact that they’ve filled their home with so much style and colour and brilliant quirky decorative details – all on a modest budget. The fact that this space has the distinct feeling of a Selby-esque New York loft – transplanted in Melbourne’s inner North!
Kirra and Dane have only lived here just over a year. In that time they’ve done a lot to make their industrial space a warm and welcoming home – when they moved in it was simply a warehouse shell with basic kitchen and bathroom. They set to work painting all the walls and the studio floor white, making the big chalkboard wall in the kitchen, and building walls downstairs in the studio to separate their two work spaces.
Kirra loves that her home has a connection to her work life. ‘Of course there are the usual struggles to contend with when you work from home’ she says, ‘but the positive outweigh the negative’. When bringing her paints home from the studio, Kirra realised that home had become the space in which she felt most creative – ‘it was full of the objects, colours, textures and experiences that inspire me, so to leave that space to make work somewhere else no longer made sense. And it is a real luxury especially leading up to a big show when it’s three in the morning and you can just walk upstairs and jump into bed!’.
Kirra Jamison fans will be excited to know that she’s having a solo show this month at Linden Gallery. Sneak peek and details below! LOOKS AMAZING! Agh. Such beautiful work Kirra!

Gasp! Totally gorgeous space and very inspiring for us ‘average’ peeps to see beautifully decorated, highly personal homes on an achievable budget. I gave up on home mags a long time ago as I found it completely soul crushing that every space seemed to need an architect, interior designer and limitless budget so thankyou DF, Kirra and Dane (cutest couple ever)…….you have totally restored my faith in my dingy little semi.
Just LOVE the bright light, the colours and the open space of this rental! gorgeous!
Inspiring for all the “renters” out there – they can be beautiful!

Absolutely gorgeous! And the print would brighten up a very plain wall I have at home!
Kirra Kirra
I would love Empty Head upon my wall
With its colourful patterned flowers
And tall bright stem
Empty Head would be the envy of all my friends
Like a starry night
Or a rich Indian abode
Kirra’s Empty Head seems to twinkle in the light
If I had thee upon my wall
I’d be the proudest of them all
What a stunning, light-filled home! I’m a big fan of Dane’s work and it’s so lovely to see his house and his very talented partner. I have my fingers crossed that I nab one of those amazing prints!
An amazingly creative space from some amazingly creative people :) Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
Kirra’s work is stunning and her home is inspiring. Love the tartan bed linen x
I fell in love with Kirra’s work when I first saw Papillion last year. So delicate and sweet. To win a print would be AWESOME. How to explain to my 9 year old creative butterfly that it is mine and not for her will be a challenge. Kirra’s oh so sweetness might just influence me to share. Thanks for sharing her inspiring space.
Kirra’s work is a huge inspiration to me, I was so excited to peek inside her home and would ADORE one of her prints xo
Their place looks great! The prints are also very beautiful. Obviously a very talented couple.
another brilliant give away!! fantastic post too :)
I love the colour Kirria uses in her work! Such a generous giveaway, congrats in advance to the winner!
A tree and a french bulldog in the bedroom, who could ask for anything more! Two wonderful prints, it would be a difficult choice :)

Gorgeous! Very inspiring artwork. Stunning home. Cute couple. Fingers crossed. Ax
Goodness gracious, what a gorgeous pad!
Oh my goodness! I was looking into Kirra’s prints a couple of weeks ago, but the budget just didn’t stretch :/ I have my fingers crossed!
This is why I like Wednesdays.
I always think it’s a bit sad to covet someone elses life. But I want what they have. What a great home they have made… and very impressive that it is a rental too. Love the art too.
My new year’s resolution was to acquire more artwork – but it is so hard deciding on what you like, but then I saw Kirra’s artwork and fell in love. Absolutely exquisite. Here’s hoping….
Kirra’s artwork is magnificent. Sure to brighten up any day.
pick me! please :)
Beautiful, fun, colour!
what an amazing space – especially for a rental! i would love one of Kirra’s prints to brighten up my home.
Great house!
Those prints are absolutely GORGEOUS! They would be perfect in my beach cottage home!
I’m entering this for my best friend who loves Kirra’s work (I do too, but I know she would lose her marbles if she was lucky enough to have one of Kirra’s prints!).
love those pink casala chairs!!!!
Wow – amazing!! I absolutely love the chalk-board wall!!
Wow I have wall space!
What a vibrant home! Kirra’s prints are exquisite too.. thanks for such a generous giveaway! Look forward to seeing the exhibition at Linden Innovators, congrats Kirra!
Hard to believe it’s a rental – that’s inspiring! Oh and Empty Heads just makes me smile, so beautiful x
so cute, i love them!
Love the prints!!! They would look wonderful on my bare walls. What a shame the exhibition is in Melbourne not Sydney!
Holy smokes – what an amazing and generous giveaway! Please count me in.
Also, those pink chairs are gorgeous!
OMG!!!!!! This is the prize of all prizes!!! I have been following Kirra ever since TDF featured her earlier in the year – I had a sneak peak at her exhibition in Richmond and now I am completely and utterly in love with her art!!! Not to mention her cute persona! I printed off at home a copy of the work ‘empty head’ which is pinned on my board, I look at it everyday and it gives me motivation to save to try and buy this amazing piece of work one day, so this prize would go to a devoted fan!!! PLEASE CAN I WIN THIS!!!!
These make me feel happy on such a gloomy day.
Beautiful home and beautiful prints! Such talent.
So inspiring to see someone transform a rental. And beautiful, beautiful works. All the best for the solo Kirra.
oh mi gosh oh mi gosh pick me! awesome beautiful prints and think that blue owl lamp is super adorable. love the blog too.
Wow, I bet Kirra’s visitors never ever go home. The warmth and love in this house is overwhelming. And the art – absolutely amazing!!
lovely! love all their indoor plants.. mm, i need some living plants in my life!
Love that owl lamp base. And they are gorgeous together!
yummy
So inspired by what they have been able to do with a rental! I always feel so held back because we rent, perhaps I just need to get more creative. Gorgeous space … & beautiful artworks!
BEAUTIFUL!
Beautiful colours and textures!
gobbbbbbbbbbbbbbsmackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkingly gorgeous. Kirra’s work wows my brain.
What a lovely injection of colour in an otherwise gloomy Melbourne winter palette outside.

Amazing work! love kirra’s art! and dave’s!
Loving my daily dose of inspiration today! What a lovely homely home and such gorgeous artwork!
What a light & lovely home! I absolutely love the work above the bed!
LOVE THAT (WARE)HOUSE!! and not only are they both super talented, they’re so damn cute as well! would love the empty head print to hang on my wall…appropriately, the title describes my mental state today…
I want a studio space just like Kirra & Danes please… or just a print of Kirra’s would do!
I love Kirra’s work and would love to buy a piece (when a have some moola)!
But GAH! look at their house! Just lovely, and full of colour!
Gorgeous and bright!
How beautiful!

What a talented couple.
I have sat for many months staring at magazine cutouts of Kirra’s work on my pinboard ……. so thanks for the great blog piece, …. gorgeous work
What gorgeous, bright colours! Kirra’s prints would definitely liven up my space and distract me from this gloomy Melbourne weather. Thanks for sharing Lucy

Thanks :)
Such an inspiring home, I love the way their lives and their work are woven together. And Kirra’s prints are wonderful, so colourful they’re almost edible!
wow! creative powerhouse! that is one talented couple. so inspiring to see true creatives living & breathing their art, life, work with such passion. amazing, beautiful colourful home. if i’m the lucky winner, i think i will choose ‘empty head’. ‘cosmic might’ is really beautiful, but so sad with the chains around the elephant’s legs. god forbid art could make me feel anything.. i’m much more of an empty head kind of girl :)
love the indoor garden and LOVE the blue drawers.
That is AMAZING. A little breath of fresh air at work. *sigh*
Beautiful….as always
OMG what beautiful artwork and what a stunning house – makes me want to live in a warehouse and I love love the blue owl vase.

Oh stunning, the perfect pieces to brighten any wall…fingers crossed
Such beautiful work!
these are beautiful! I’d love one on my wall!
Kirra’s work is just stunning. Empty Head would be just lovely in my current beige bedroom.
i’ve drifted to another place as I sit at my desk with a fluro light above – beautiful space – they make it look so easy!
Would look stunning in my home office… need a bit of light and colour for the winter ahead. Pick me! Pick me!
I wish my Northcote manor rental would look this perfect … its slowly getting there. A Kirra Jamison on the wall would brighten it up!
Teh artwork is sooooo beautiful – A piece on my wall would certainly help brighten up these cold Melbourne winter mornings!!! Frozen fingers and toes crossed.
Such stunning use of colour in both her interior and art. I want her home and studio but would be more than happy to settle for one of her brilliant prints.
I nearly flipped when u saw this post. Am a HUGE Kirra Jamison fan!
Thanks ever so much for the sneak peek.

Empty Head is me! :)
I only just discovered Kirra recently and have been eyeing off some of her artwork – would love to win a print :)

Nice to see a rental home featured. Lovely. And just down the road from me.
There is no way I would get any work done if I lived there…
Absolutely love their studio and home. And the artwork is gorgeous.. same theme as their home, white with pops of colour. Vinyl appliqué.. what an interesting idea! Would love to hang one of those on my wall!
Such pretty colours to brighten up a dull winter’s day!
So vibrant and full of joy! Can see so much of the artists character in the house and prints a perfect fit!
Loving the owl lamp too!! What a cute couple & fab loft-apartment filled with awesome artworks.. Her prints are so fun & colourful, would make you happy every time you looked at them :)
Beautiful prints, the home is stunning too, the artists style is married into their home.
Such a beautiful home! Light, bright, airy and just damn cool.
Fingers crossed one of Kirra’s pieces becomes a fixture on my wall!
Pretty and inspiring…would love this lovely print as a housewarming pressie for my new first house :) xx

Amazing!
Please count me in – I love ‘Empty Head’! What a talent!
I love the industrial touches in this home. Really lovely. I would love to see ‘Empty Head’ hanging in my new study!
the print would have a good home in Katoomba, bringing some colour to our cold winter home.
I’m reading this from NYC. I love this print. I saved the picture for color palette inspiration.
SUCH a perfect little home!
Please grace me with Cosmic Might!!!!!!!! thank you.
Beautiful space – love to subtle play of colours; it’d be awesome to work from home in a place like that! :)

speechless….. a very amazing work and paint….. I need those to be up in my room. :D
What gorgeous artwork – I would love to win this. Very hard to find artwork that I love in this neck of the woods. It would certainly add some much need colour to my living room.
Cannot wait to see Kirra’s exhibition. Gorgeous house.
Super cute couple. Love that tree near the bed! And the natural light is to die for!
Great house and amazing work! Absolutely beautiful.
OmiGod is Right!
havent you all heard colour is THE new black!
Amazing space and even more inspiring that it is actually a rental!
Love the space and colours.
Would be so lovely to own one of these special prints – a perfect way to liven up a very bleak chilly start to winter! wonderful photography by Daniel too.
I have been a fan of Kirra’s work for some time now so it was great to read this article. Love the pics
Warmth and cheer on a bitter Melbourne day. Perfect, thankyou!
love the colours, beautiful.
Beautifully space! I love the artwork on the bedroom wall!
these beautiful vibrant colours would be great to win on this grey rainy day!
Kirra you are one talented lady. This artwork would be the perfect gift for my daughters birthday!
Oh gosh, just beautiful!
Great couple, and such a generous giveaway. Thanks for sharing Lucy and Kirra.
Great work Kirra, Congratulations!
Gorgeous home, such a mix of beautiful colours and such a cute dog!
Oh my gosh, what a great giveaway! I absolutely love Kirra’s work!! Stunning home too!
Beautiful art work and fantastic home!
What a talented artist Kirra is. Stunning vibrant colours. I would love one on my wall!!
Amazing art! Will definitely be going to the Linden Centre to check out her work!
Awesome giveaway! Stunning artwork, love the colours!
Have been lusting after Kirra’s work for months and now i want her life! What a beautilful, serene, colourful home. Please tell me it’s not always that neat!! How i would LOVE to win …..
love it, love it, love it, my walls are screaming out for one of Kirra’s prints!
Oh my….what a super give away…..and what a beautiful space to live in….. here’s hoping :)…..
what a gorgeous space – I love it, but then I’m a sucker for warehouses and white walls – so this isn’t surprising! My pick would be the Empty Heads print – gorgeous colours to boost a wall that’s looking quite bare at present!
I too work from home, and I agree the positives do out-weigh the negatives…especially at 3 in the morning! Beautiful home & amazing artwork, love all the colours.
Stunning! I have my fingers crossed.
Congrats Kirra, another beautiful exhibit on the way by the looks of things. Can’t wait to see it and looking forward to having one of your pieces hanging in my home one of these days.
I love the look of that chair in the studio. It’d be great to just sit there with a cup of tea and watch what happens.
Wow… what an amazing and very generous give-away! Kirra’s artworks are absolutely beautiful and I can see why… she has an amazing home and studio to work in!
So nice… I love the mix of colours & prints!
oh, i’m so super envious of the home/studio that kirra and dane have created (and i especially love those pink chairs!)
i have never wanted a giveaway so much before! her work is amazingly beautiful!
Love it!!!! What a cool house, I am obsessed with the cactus painting in the bedroom…!!!
Simply stunning….!!! And a super cute couple indeedy! Thanks for sharing.
Yes yes VERY nice house can i please win the picture ;)
awesome house, awesome dog Tallulah too!
If my house was this beautiful, I would never leave! And, Tallulah- NAW!
Got to love an artist’s house !
love the art work and THE DOG!!!
Such an amazing house, I would not be able to leave this space to work elsewhere either! and beautiful pieces by Kirra too!
love the simplicity and sense of space and colour. Another inspiring home/workspace.
I wish I could just move into that house!
Adorable dog! Their home is so beautiful, so light & open & bright.. I love the plaid / floral bed linen combo too! Yay!
my favorite melbournian artists. Both of them. Amazing artworks!!!
OMG! Best giveaway ever alright Lucy! I LOVE Kirra’s work. Thanks for sharing it with us again. So beautiful x
What a beautiful home and studio. I love Kirra’s arts – I’d take great care of her print!
These prints are FANTASTIC. And I love their house. So colourful. It almost inspires me to move away from the neutrals in my own home and sneak some colour in. Maybe one of those print would be a great place to start.
Wow – what beautiful art. Would LOVE to win either of these gorgeous prints. Thanks!
Empty head for me! PLEASE, pretty please
I’m painting my ugly little rental all white and it’s looking amazing. Now all I need is a Kirra print on the wall to stare and dream about.
Star light
Star bright
First star I see tonight
I wish I may
I wish I might
Be the winner of the beautiful Cosmic Might
So young and so talented!! fingers crossed.
Lovely!
Inspirational, bright, cheerful – the perfect antidote to Melbournes cold snap.
Love this home! And simply adore Kirra’s artworks – so beautiful, so delicate, so dreamy… I hope to have one of my very own to put on my wall sometime soon!
wow gorgeous house, gorgeous art
Beautiful!
Talent aplenty in this young artist. I’ll take any of Kirra’s pieces, with thanks xx
My daughter (8 yo) is looking over my shoulder and said “that looks nice”. I said we can go into a draw and see if we can win it if you like. She thought that was a good idea. She was looking at “Cosmic Might” ….
Wowsers, LOVE the autumn intervention in the bedroom and the oakleaves making a break for it under the bed!
Such an awe inspiring home!!
Cool couple + cool home = me JEALOUS!
Oh my! I wish there was a shout button on the computer because I would shout across the seas Lucy and say “me please!!!” The print would be a dream come true! Thats if us over this side of the world qualify?! Great home and such a creative couple.
Horace wants a bootiful print!

Lovely prints – please count me in!
Amazing blog post, everything is so beautiful and inspirational. I’ll have my fingers and toes crossed for this hehe
Thanks so much for giving me a sneek peek into Kirra & Dane’s fab warehouse space- green with envy to see the possibility of painting and living in the one space, & with loads of style (and a great pooch) to boot! I’ve had a not-so-secret crush on Kirra’s work for a long time now and pined for her a work of hers called ‘Willow Weep’ she sent me for a show I curated in BrisVegas. ‘Empty Head’ gives me those same dreamy chills so would love to win a print…
Congrats Design Files, for another fly-on-the-wall look into a lovely home :)
Love empty head, saw it at Kirra’s latest exhibition and loved it….
Beautiful house and work!
‘twould but make me happy to look at kirra’s print each day!
Wow, I love the blackboard wall and what a gorgeous idea for a bedside table, noticed the quirky owl lamp first then the table. Mmm, more ideas for my scrapbook!
AHHHHHH! fingers and toes crossed!!!
cosmic might, what talent !
What a beautiful home! I adore Kirra’s work – can’t get enough!
Cute couple, fab pad/studio, adogable pooch and beautiful art pieces. TDF, how do you know so many cool, talented, gorgeous folk?
Mmmmm lovely! Yes please!
These guys are both incredible artists, love love love
looks great – have just the space on my wall
definitely, definitely my favourite!!
Every weekday morning for a few years now you can guarantee I’m smiling just after 7am as that’s when I hear the email come through on my phone from TDF. Seriously addicted and today is no exception. Totally inspired (more than usual if that’s possible). My love affair with Melbourne recently became a long distance relationship…luckily these emails and the creative people/homes/products featured make it that little bit easier to have moved away. Even if I don’t get to read the email right away, knowing it’s there brightens my day!!!
Kirra and Dane – I am so insanely jealous of your home and your beautiful artwork! AMAZING! Thanks for letting us in and Lucy, thanks for sharing!
Empty head will look excellent on my wall…
I love this house and this Lulu and this Kirra and this Dane and this art! Print please! X
So fun – perhaps a print would make my wee digs look half as lovely…?
SupercalafragalisticexpealidAWESOME!!!
Gosh, these give aways keep getting better and better. Kirra’s prints are just so beautiful and I especially love Cosmic Might. Also how cute is Kirra’s kilt in the last picture.
Love the work Kirra and Dane. Love a guy that can paint flowers! And I spied a Ben Quilty on the wall too – impressive! Cheers
How can one couple be so incredibly talented.
I love the colours in their artwork.
I’m envious of how effortlessly they make clashing colours and patterns, look fabulous
how can you make a plaid pattern sheet and floral doona cover work? I wish I had even a teaspoon of the sugar this couple make.
Amazing, Amazing house!! I love
So much beauty in one post, thankyou for sharing!
Another beautiful home with soul! Thanks and fingers crossed – very generous prize!
OMG! Love these prints and definitely light up all the wall of my home with one of these amazing prints.

S’il vous plait?!
Ok so now I’ve posted something before the deadline, I can finish the rest of my comment here… I have been hanging out to see if Kirra would release some prints of her most gobsmackingly amazing artworks and now my dreams have come true! I would love a painting but they are just too far beyond the reaches of my wallet. :( I am a huge fan!
Really enjoyed seeing the live/work space of these two talented folk; and also seeing Kirra’s work in the flesh, for the first time in winter last year. Thankyou for an inspiring post.
Love their use of colour. So uplifting and fresh! Would love to own one of the works!
Love this place – the bedroom especially. Checked and flower bedding – who would have thought?!
