When creating this smart and stylish inner-city apartment, Yvonne found inspiration in traditional French decorating.

In Melbourne’s inner-city suburb of Richmond is a superb complex of luxurious serviced apartments known as Andre’s Mews. Not only is the property located in a vibrant area close to trams, Melbourne’s CBD and famous sporting institutions, but each apartment has been individually and exquisitely decorated with great love, care and attention to detail.
