Please, please, come inside, make yourselves at home.

I have been waiting for this day for my entire life, so.

Yeah, I have been living in America for the last, like, maybe like five or six years, and I have been so homesick the entire time.

And then when everything got crazy in March, I came back to Australia to be with my family.

And eventually I was just like, wait, what am I doing?

I am so unbelievably happy here, and I just feel so at home that I wanted to put down roots.

And I found this house and I was just like, done.

Okay, first things first, this is like literally the most comfortable couch in the world.

I feel like they, oh, people are gonna get mad at me for not taking off my shoes.

They advertise it as the most comfortable couch in the world, and it's accurate.

It's by this company called Maker and Son.

This coffee table we had made, it's just a really, really huge log, basically.

I hope they didn't cut down just specifically for me.

One of my favorite art pieces in the whole house.

The artist Ramesh just is so sick and eccentric, and she also has a huge penis.

I think the goal was to have like a soup of light.

I didn't want like hard overhead lighting because no one looks good in that.

Just finding soft light just kind of gently fills the room.

And we kind of followed suit with these pendants.

They're vintage, and I feel like they kind of look like alien skin or something.

They sort of feel like what I imagine alien skin would feel like, and I love them.

You guys should have come at night in all honesty because the house with all the lamps and stuff, it just feels super, super cozy.

This couch is vintage by Percival LaFerre.

It reminded me of a spaceship or something.

If you come around the back, you can see there's like this white bathtub situation.

I do always have a cut up apple tree in my house that wasn't just for the AD shoot.

You know, just sometimes you want the branch as well for whatever reason.

This little moment, this is my reading nook or whatever.

My wish for everyone is that your space is like the place that you think of when you meditate.

By using lamps or candles or just like your favorite bedsheets, I want that for everyone because it's a really, really nice feeling to just have a place that's like yours and you know, you can just kind of kick back and relax and enjoy your life.

I'm gonna say this a lot, but I think it's my favorite part of the house.

I think it's the technique is called end block where like each of these pieces is a separate piece of wood that they stick together and then they cut it and you get this like finish or whatever.

So like you could eat your dinner off of it, but I use plates most of the time.

One of my favorite things about the kitchen is this situation.

Sometimes I stand here and like serve coffees or whatever to people if they're in the garden.

All the appliances are integrated, which is sick.

I'm not gonna show you my fridge because it's mostly just like beer and old takeout food.

The materiality in the kitchen is I think my favorite in the house.

We've got like all of this black steel and I love the way that it shows.

I don't even know these like sort of natural markings and then just wood, heaps and heaps and heaps of wood because I love wood.

So we did a really, really big renovation on this house.

The kitchen's all totally brand new, but weirdly there used to be a toilet here.

It was still like the kitchen, kind of grossed me out.

And so we got rid of it and I'm gonna show you where we put it because I think it's kind of sick.

Oh, come here, I wanna show you the ghost.

So if you look up here, we've got two art pieces.

It's a little ghost by this artist named Nell.

Kind of reminds me of my dog back in LA, which I've unfortunately haven't seen for like a couple months now.

Feels like a little bit of Nash in my house, which is nice.

And this is by an artist called Sydney Ball.

And there's another one outside, which I'm gonna show you soon.

This is one of my favorite places in the house to come and look.

It's kind of lofty and reminds me of some places that I've been to in like Williamsburg.

There's so many places to sit in the house.

Like you can be sitting up here, talking to someone down there with no worries, or I could be working at my desk.

Not a lot of people know this about me, but I am very, very gay.

And so just in case people don't know that, I litter gay homoerotic books all around the house.

I got this book, Jack Pearson, one of my favorite photographers.

I shot with him a couple of years ago, and it's just so, so, so sick.

Kind of like finding beauty in everything, you know?

A lot of this is photography, and a lot of the photography I've realized that I'm most interested in is like documentarian style, like sort of voyeuristic where it's not necessarily like a set up photograph or whatever.

You really do feel like you're getting a peep into someone's life for just like that, you know, quick second.

And then also the whole house opens up onto a park on this side.

And so I just like the idea that if you open up this window, you get to hear the birds and stuff in the morning, and Australian birds just sound insane.

So these cork ceilings were original to the house.

It kind of makes the whole house feel kind of like a really cozy cave.

And we did the walls in this like Venetian plaster, which is so smooth and soft.

And so I feel like everything just kind of like hugs you at night.

I think this is my favorite room in the house.
