A London Apartment- An Oldie But a Goodie
I came across this apartment in my files this weekend and I had forgotten how much I loved it when I first saw it over a year ago.
It’s the London apartment of fashion journalist Pippa Holt and was featured in the March/April 2008 issue of Vogue Living Australia.
It has so much personality.
There’s nothing overly trendy; instead, some good, classic pieces and lots of personal touches.
And I think that’s why it still looks fresh even though it was published two years ago.

Positively vibrant and brimming over with personality. One of those you never forget!

Ah Pippa Holt. Lovely Melbourne girl. Lovely mother, lovely family full of creative stylish people (and some lawyers!).
I agree her place still looks great.
I am not a fan of those magazine stacks they are just silly but everything else is full of personality. xoxo

Right when I opened this I went "ahhh, yes". Definitely a good one. And I absolutely agree – it could have been shot 2 days ago rather than 2 years. It's filled with personalit; not overly trendy. Marija

I've actually never seen it, so it's new to me!
I'm all for the eclectic collector look.

No wonder you kept it in your files, it's such a lovely place. I love the mismatched chairs at the table – I've always loved that look. So much personality in this place – and great inspiration

I love this home. It's so eclectic and it's borderline girly but not too much, ya know? Like I really like that pink chair with the pillow and the cowhide rug….it just works for some reason.

It does look extremely fresh, whoever did the decor is amazing!
The fact that you've had this for a while and that you still love it, shows what good design it is.
Over trendy never has any longevity, does it . Ally? I love everything in this apartment except maybe the cow-hide rug. Not a favourite of mine but that's just me !! XXXX

I love the color combination in the second photo. Pink, black and white. For some reason it reminds me of the 1950's. In a good way:)

Zhush and Erin: I'm glad I posted it if it's new to you.
Jane: So are all of you Melbourne girls this stylish?
Jessica: I'm well, thank you! How about you?
Lindsey Lou: Exactly. Just girly enough.
This reminds me how much I want a cowhide for my living room.

Hi Ally, I remember noting this apartment too – and yes the key is definitely that it is full of (great) personal style! I imagine it would be just as lovely to live in as it looks. Amanda

I like how everything is mismatched, but all works together.

ooh, I love that b+w wallpaper! (wouldn't that be cute in a bathroom?)

Personality, heart and comfort! I think that even comes before style! Style can be so boring. I love everything here! It is a happy home!(And you belong in one!).

My favorite part – that dining room table. Such a fun, lively, unique apt. Much to love Ally xx

This space is so fresh and fun! – it seems that it would just get better and better over time – so easy to layer and build on things here to keep it fresh and new. Thanks for sharing this favourite! Hope your week's off to a great start!

This makes me really really want to get a white slipcover for my sofa. Is that a crazy idea, though, with 6 month old twins and a black (read – very sheddy) dog??

I want to live in such a pretty place and have a cool name like Pippa.

Loving the table base (first picture) and I always love magazines/books stacked up and used as a table (last picture). Thanks for posting!
