OK so I have to warn you, today's house tour is somewhat epic. This is what happens when I am faced with SO MANY beautiful images that I just can't bring myself to cull cull cull! But when a home looks like this one, what can you do!?
This is the gorgeous apartment of Melbourne events guru (and this week's guest blogger!) Georgie Kay! Seriously. Just when I think I couldn't possibly stumble across another amazing untapped 'Melbourne Home', another pearler like this one jumps into my inbox! Luckyyy!
Georgie's St Kilda apartment is both her cosy home and the busy office of Georgeous HQ! Georgie fell in love as soon as she saw the place on a Saturday morning just over 5 years ago, and after a brief visit (and the approval of her girlfriends, of course!), Georgie snapped up her dream apartment the following Monday morning! It's one of 10 deco apartments in a block built in the late 1930's, with a beautiful large Jacaranda tree growing in the front. In Spring (very soon!), the bright purple Jacaranda flowers hang delicately like an umbrella outside the ‘ Georgeous’ office window... no wonder those girls are so inspired!
Like many Melbourne deco apartments, Georgie's place has such great bones... the generous rooms, timber floor boards and period detailing form the perfect blank canvas for Georgie's super stylish interiors! I pretty much LOVE every single thing she owns.... do I really have to list all my favourites....!? OH OK then - the Twiggy chair by the amazing Greg Hatton, the Bird Cube artwork by Anita Bell, the beautiful antique chest of drawers which belonged to Georgie's grandmother, and industrial table from Tarlo and Graham.... the muted neutral tones on the couch and cushions.... the stunning flowers which fill every room, by Georgie's amazing florist friend and long term collaborator Melanie of Cecilia Fox.... um... um... um.. it is all just a bit too LOVELY!
HUGE THANKYOU to the amazing Georgie Kay for opening her stunning home to us today AS WELL AS blogging her heart over over on the guest blog all week! Jeepers creepers, we ask a lot 'round here don't we?!
Don't forget to pop over to the guest blog this week to see more inspiring event design goodness from Georgie!
Georgie Kay!

Is that an original Featherston chair? ...in the most delicious velvet teal fabric!?
Lucy, I just have to say… I am MADLY in love with your blog! and this house is just beautiful!
Georgie’s house is absolutely beautiful. Your ‘Australian homes’ features are definitely my favourite!
What a COMPLETE home, love the little floral chair come book case, beautiful.
Dying a little of jealousy – what a fun apartment to live (and work) in! And yeah, total chair envy on that teal Featherston… Thanks for sharing Georgie!
I love it! Georgie is so talented!!!
Like an old leather boot. Gorgeous.
How stunning,but you are a very special girl. Sound me out on those ceramics exquisite?!!
Must dig out my lovely old bathroom chair a yucky yellow at the moment! Thanks for the inspiration and I have missed seeing you for soo log.Love Chelexx
Where to start, the pops of purple, the old tin pot plants and yes that to die for Featherston chair…looks so beautifully put together. Definitely taking some inspiration for this post!!
i love it. all of it!
oh my, so lovely.
Georgie’s home is just divine. Yes, always love the Australian homes feature. Would love to have a cup of tea in each and every one of these inspiring homes!
OMG Lucy – this has got to be one of my fave home tours ever. Its simply perfect. Such great style and such a clever clogs as well!!
Love the shots….esp the furniture and of course that lovely FEATHERSTON chair!
An amzing decor Georgie, you definitely have a niche for design and it’s a credit to your work! This beautiful apartment oozes character and is simply GEORGEOUS! P.S – Your staff are pretty cute too ;)
I love the Australian Homes posts. I always check in to see what delicious places are being shown. Keep up the great work! This one is gorgeously styled, especially love the flowers!
What a lovely house. I really should stop thinking of my place as a rental house and make it more of a home!
it’s gorgeous (!) and inspiring, but makes me wail at my own house… and how far it is from looking like this.
Where to put the detritus of life? The paperwork I haven’t done yet? The flyers that seem to creep in under the door for things that look possibly interesting, the Saturday papers I haven’t quite finished with (and it’s FRiday!!!).
aaaaaaaaaaaaargh
