In addition, the queen of Australian craft, Tamara Maynes, has developed eight brand new projects for readers, making it a unique resource for creating and improving your ‘home with heart’.

Interview with Karen McCartney about book 70/80/90 (Kopie)

One of the most successful Australian interior books of recent times is 50/60/70: Iconic Australian Houses by Karen McCartney. It is not surprising then that the founding editor of Inside Out magazine has gone on to produce a follow-up: 70/80/90. It is a book that provides architectural analysis and interior inspiration all within a historical context. Karen, who I have previously interviewed here, shares what went into the process of making the most recent edition.

You can buy either edition - or both! - with a personalised message on the recently launched site Iconic Australian Houses.
