Desire to Inspire, one of my favorite interior design blogs just posted this absolutely gorgeous Australian home. The stark palette makes it a little colder than I would normally prefer, but it does make it terribly glamorous. Black laquered wood, leather sofas, crystal and glass, floral wallpapers and subdued rugs, and of course the black and white checkerboard tiles. Classic!

Via Desire to Inspire: “Australian interior designer Greg Natale has established himself as the leading exponent in this country of what one could call Hollywood Regency but with an Australian twist. What results, especially in this recent residential project, is the elevation of everyday living to something glamorous, something just a little more special, something with just a touch of the unexpected.”
