interiors: megan hess home

Megan Hass Melbourne’s fashion illustrator shares her home with her husband, architect Craig Yelland and their two children. Their penthouse is located on the roof of an 18th century church. The renovation saw the exterior preserved with the interior gutted, allowing Megan and Craig to start from skratch. I love how she kept the base neutral which means you can completly change the mood with art and furnishings. Stay tuned as we peek inside her wardrobe, which she says is her favorite room in the house ‘It’s my happy place’. Check out her illustrations we blogged about in our yesterday’s post here.

Currently Crushing: Leslie Ann O’Dell Artist

Surreal Illustrations by Leslie Ann O’Dell. Leslie ia an intuitive visual artist photographer Leslie. She starts her creation mostly with her camera.
