Overview
Ever wanted to live like a globetrotting interior designer for a day, sipping single origin coffee in the leafy outdoor courtyard of your snug, rustic Paddington terrace surrounded by all beautiful Australian design? Hit up Airbnb.
Sibella Court, the internationally-acclaimed interior designer behind such Merivale establishments as Palings, Mr Wong, Palmer & Co., El Loco and MsG's, and the owner of Beautiful Things/hardware/haberdashery store The Society Inc, has turned her 1860s Sydney corner terrace into a pied-a-terré — one you can rent on Airbnb. Snuggled in the middle of Paddington, the space is filled to the brim of the stunning art, design, carpentry and textiles The Society Inc has been raving about and stocking over the years. Yep, it's pretty much the Sydney home of our Pinterest-loving dreams.
"I am often asked by curious international parties about our favourite Australian furniture makers, artists, crafters, textile designers, dyers, tinkers and smiths and the like — this is where we will be showcasing some our favourites and sharing the love."
"It is a sensory experience, forever changing, layered with travel mementoes, full of magic and fantasy, that will be as though being in the pages of one of Sibella's books," says the listing.
There's a main bedroom, dressing room with daybed/single, bathroom, lounge room, living room, kitchen and outdoor courtyard all for a cool $305 per night. It's just a couple of minutes walk to Oxford Street, so you're super close to Centennial Park and buses to the city and beaches. Plus, there's a Tokyo Bike you can use while you're staying there, another of Court's favourite local crews.
