In the Pocket House project, Carlene Duffy embraced the opportunity to enhance a historic Federation Queenslander without altering its original structure. The focus was on selecting furniture and furnishings that resonate with the home's 100-plus-year-old character. By leaving the building completely intact, the design achieves a warm, timeless aesthetic that feels like a little slice of Queensland and stands on its own in any era. The interior styling pays homage to the home's heritage, incorporating pieces that complement its classical features. The result is a cohesive and inviting space that reflects the unique qualities of the building and its occupants. This project exemplifies how thoughtful furnishing can breathe new life into a historic home, creating a harmonious blend of past and present.
