Greg Natale’s New York-inspired furniture collection

Inspired by his favourite city (and admittedly mine too!), Greg Natale’s latest furniture collection, HUDSON (a salute to New York), features an elegant range of case goods, lounges, beds, sofas, dining tables, chairs and occasional tables.

“I first visited NYC in my early twenties. It was love at first sight. After all this time I still find myself swept up in the spirit of the Metropolis; each year I unearth a new layer that inspires, provokes and invigorates me creatively. HUDSON is a nod to the flourish, the glamour and the refinement that New York enjoyed post-Second World War, in designing HUDSON I wanted to honour both a city and a golden age.”

Comprising of 20 superbly finished products, the range created in partnership with respected, family-owned Australian furniture makers, Casa Mia, evokes an old world charm with a contemporary twist.

With sumptuous, precisely-buttoned upholstery, robust marble, a thorough attention to woodcraft, the option of black or white satin finishes to European Beech and the occasional graceful brass detail — HUDSON is effortless, affordable glamour.

Talking kitchen design with Guy Sebastian

Last week, I spoke to Guy Sebastian’s wife Jules about the décor in their Gerroa holiday home. This week, we talk about the kitchen – the main focus of the house– with Guy himself.

Q: What was most important to you when you were designing your kitchen? 

A: Definitely keeping the view as the number one focal point. We had to work the design around two structural poles so it had to have some kind of convenient workflow when it came to cooking too. Of course it had to look modern and slick too — tick, tick, tick!

Take a look inside Guy Sebastian’s holiday home

Today we take a look inside singer Guy Sebastian’s holiday home on the NSW South Coast. I interviewed his wife, Jules, about creating a family hideaway as well as somewhere perfect for entertaining.

The couple had been looking for a holiday home when Guy fell in love with the headland in Gerroa and was determined to find something to buy in the area. “This house came up for sale a couple of months later and we grabbed it while we could,” said Jules, a fashion stylist. “In terms of location it was exactly what we were looking for, but we wanted to renovate to make it into the dream home.”

The renovation meant gutting half of the top floor and starting again. Guy got stuck in himself, as walls were knocked out to really open up the view of the ocean, before all the bathrooms, bedrooms and kitchens were renovated. “It was a lot of work,” says Jules, who recently announced she is pregnant with the couple’s second child. “Guy was like Bob the Builder!
