Sunday Life magazine is back today and we’re kicking off 2026 with a visit to the Melbourne home of incredible multi-disciplinary maker Suzie Stanford @suziestanford. You’ve all likely had close contact with her beautifully elaborate brass cluster door handles at @flowersvasette and @jardanfurniture stores (to name just a couple), as well as admired her incredible upholstered furniture in patchwork tapestries and vintage fabrics. Suzie’s home is as sunny and warm as she is - full of personality and joyous pops of colour. See @sundaylifeau with Ruth Gemmell on the cover in @theageaustralia @sydneymorningherald or online.

I absolutely loved watching gorgeous @fleurharris transform her run-down (but full of promise) weatherboard home - as did the thousands and thousands of you who were equally invested in her updates on the highs and lows of building a dream. I was utterly charmed by Fleur’s vision, dedication and commitment to creating a whimsical, heartfelt home and was lucky enough to visit mid-reno, then again to style the shoot that appears in the new issue of @homebeautiful. Just like her famous illustrations and designs, there is so much detail in every room. She is also a scream - so much fun to hang out with. I highly recommend getting a copy to read @brittanysmith_writing’s story and to see the rest of the glorious photos by @armellehabib. Fab job Fleur 😍🧚🏼✨ hnk x

I’m playing catch-up, with the most sublime 1940s apartment update I’ve seen in a long time. When Peter Frith wanted to create an elegant and cohesive backdrop for his considerable collection of furniture, art and antiques he called on the equally considerable talents of interior designer Penelope Scott. Together they took this tired ex-rental and layered it with gentle colour and dramatic wall coverings that really don’t feel too dramatic - they feel just right. Being an unusually configured apartment, there were plenty of challenges but the attention to detail by Penelope and Peter has resulted in a particularly cohesive and unique home that serves to highlight his incredible eye for collecting beauty, without one feature dominating others. I could spend my life snooping around Melbourne’s 1930s and ‘40s apartment blocks so this was a very nice day. This home appeared in @sundaylifeau on May 24 and can be seen online at smh.com.au.

Today in @sundaylifeau we visit the beautiful inner-Melbourne home of Tanya Hansen. Tanya engaged @simonehaag to help create a “calm and welcoming aesthetic” and team Haag, including Design and Production Lead Cindy Phillips worked closely with Tanya, even traveling OS to source pieces, resulting in this sanctuary of layers, textures and unique objets. What a pleasure it was to spend time there, with @armellehabib making magic on the 📷. Shout out to @natashaallencreative too Xhnk

The Melbourne home of artist Moya Delany @moyadelany_art graces the pages of @sundaylifeau today. Moya, her partner Jason Beusst and their son Monty live within an ever changing gallery-like space, with artworks set against a backdrop of dramatic wall colours and lime-washed floors. It’s a wonderfully creative and heartfelt home - hope you love it! @sundaylifeau @theageaustralia @sydneymorningherald 📸 @armellehabib 🖋️ @heathernetteking Xhnk

I always really enjoy the homes that clever Sophie Gunnerson and Alexis Reid of @by_alsoh create and this one, Sophie’s own family home, is another beauty. A classic inner-south Edwardian with a striking renovation by @lucy_clemenger_architects , inside it is that classic @by_alsoh mix of vibrant art, old family pieces, modern conveniences, oh and a lot of fashion storage as Sophie is also half of the @millsandyork designer clothing outlet (run don’t walk). This home appeared in @sundaylifeau yesterday but you can still catch it online at smh.com.au

The fab new issue of @insideoutmag hits the stands tomorrow and I’m thrilled to have worked with ace photographer @jjjjade on the cover shoot, and written the story about this clever renovating couple @ekcollective. Their extremely cute daughters and doggos made it all the more fun. Don’t miss it! Xhnk

“Find a place with character that you can embellish and put your individual stamp on… you don’t need the kitchen renovated every two years to keep up with the Joneses,” is Katie Edwards McCubbin’s advice in our @sundaylifeau home feature today, and I couldn’t agree more! Artist Katie and her husband, writer and designer David McCubbin take us through their wonderful art and character-filled 1960’s ‘Joe Fudge classic’ home that they share with Pomeranian Humphrey. it was a terrific shoot and I’m sure you’ll love reading about these two Melbournians.
