Oh, you’ve got to love a good celebrity real estate stalk! Sarah Jessica Parker’s West Village home in New York is up for sale again and I really like her style. It’s not as eclectic as you might imagine, but then again we must remember she in fact an actress and not her Sex and the City character Carrie Bradshaw…

I wandered around West Village on our recent trip to New York (shopping tips here), dreaming of living in the West Village. It’s so perfect! Yep, never gonna happen…

Of course, you want to see the walk-in? To be honest, I expected something grander!

And how about that tub? Sigh…

And here’s something else I’d like room for: a lounge in the bedroom!

This post has reminded me of these cool illustrations of Carrie Bradshaw’s iconic apartment available from Etsy. I think it’s time I bought one…

If you fancy a little more NYC real estate perving, check out the listings with SJP’s real estate agent.

Which is your favourite home from a TV show?

Ugh. This is like THE most exciting thing I’ve seen on YouTube EVER. Thank you, US Vogue!

You may or may not know that I’m a ridiculous Sex and the City tragic and I just love SJP. I also love this look around her home and how warm and real it looks. And how good does SHE look too?!

Enjoy!

As a homewares shopping starting point, no trip to NYC is complete without visiting the legendary American stores Anthropologie and Jonathan Adler! I would usually add West Elm and Pottery Barn to this list but, luckily for us, they’re now open in Australia (just Sydney for now but West Elm opens in Melbourne too, later this month).

Design lovers cannot go past the Jonathan Adler stores to pick up a quirky piece or a signature colourful, patterned cushion or throw. Friends of Interiors Addict Kate and Lu, from The Ooh Blog, were lucky enough to go on a trip earlier this year. “I developed a devastating idol crush on this uber fun designer a few years ago and it felt a little bit stupid really that I had never physically stepped foot inside one of his stores,” says Lu, an interior designer in Sydney. “I had a moment on the front steps then delved into a happy-chic paradise full of colour and pattern and retro, regency gorgeousness. It was a little overwhelming to see the pieces I’ve been frothing over online for years in the flesh but I was so thrilled to find that Jonathan, who began his career as a potter, is one seriously talented individual and his product is of an incredible standard and well worth the slightly heftier price tag. His tongue-in-cheek approach to decorating is evident in many pieces like the hilarious Delirium Coasters while others like the Desmond Screen are effortlessly chic.”

Well, here’s something I didn’t know I needed (or even existed for that matter) until I came across it: a hand drawn floorplan of Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment from Sex and the City! Even better, all manner of other famous TV home floor plans, including Frasier, Friends, Big Bang Theory, Seinfeld and more.

Sex and the City illustrator’s converted church home in Port Melbourne

16 Comments on Sex and the City illustrator’s converted church home in Port Melbourne

Today I’m very excited to share with you the gorgeous home of Megan Hess, the stylish illustrator of the Sex and the City book cover and much more.

Illustrating for brands like Tiffany & Co, Chanel, Dior and Laduree, Megan is living her dream. She lives (and works) here, in the roof of a church, with her architect husband Craig Yelland and two young children. There is nothing usual about this four-bedroom home, which is one of the things she loves the most.

“I initially thought the space was completely crazy,” she said. “It was the entire roof of an 18^th century church! The location was perfect and it was enormous BUT it was a roof. Craig took photos, scanned them into the computer and started to show me where we would put walls and how it would work (the perks of being married to an architect!). As soon as I saw that I knew it would be perfect.”

They have transformed it into their dream home and have been living there for three years. “Every single inch of it is built around how we like to live and the things we love.” The kids have their own area where they can play, make mess and hang out, and the “parents’ area” is a retreat from it all. “I feel like my pulse goes down the second I walk into that space,” says Megan.

The Carrie Bradshaw of light switches

Post author By Jen Bishop
Post date May 20, 2012

Sydney interior stylist Sibella Court has teamed up with HPM Legrand on a range of designer light switches and power sockets to finish your look with a touch of glamour.

“The quality of a range like Arteor means that you don’t have to hide your light switches anymore – they can be proudly displayed like other designer pieces. They’re like the Carrie Bradshaw of light switches,” she says. “Such exquisite materials will automatically inject a sense of glamour and whimsy. You don’t have to spend a million dollars.

“Each switch is a beautiful piece that has been meticulously designed. The beveled edges, for example, create a tricky visual effect where the switch appears to float in space – all of these things are very important to achieving something special and out of the ordinary.”
