tree house….
Imagine your dream tree house….most people dream of it at some point or even have had one at some point. So, this house in Stockholm actually has a tree in it! or so it looks like it does…. i absolutely love the idea… of exposing a bit of tree….we all need to be reminded of nature in our everyday lives and this is a lovely way of achieving it…
living amongst the trees
check out that super green lamp by the tree
how wonderful are those dining chairs?
the artwork and lighting make this bedroom come alive
Living room perfection…..
There are so many elements that i love about this particular living room! (i have seemed to have lost the source but i couldn’t help but share it anyway…)
It starts with the white walls and floors…
Then moves along to the shape of the legs on the black armchairs, so striking!
Oh and the piles of casually placed textiles around, creating a melting pot of colour…
The lighting is also superb, nice and complimentary and easy on the eye! The only thing missing are the cushions! ( But it took me a while to notice they are not there, as there are so many interesting elements to look at, so i will forgive the decorator in this instance….)
The star of the show is the green plant sitting on a trolley, it adds a touch of living, breathing life to the room….(audience: start clapping)…..

Spanish architectural splendor….
The concept of amazing architecture is very much alive in the auditorium and performing centre in Cartagena in Spain. Simply named El “B’ by the architect firm SelgasCano based in Madrid. Color, form and line are used in such a delicate yet bold way to create a spectacular space which clearly delights the inspiration buds….
linear bliss
the floating staircase... magical
one step at a time
takes waiting room space to another level
visually tangy auditorium
citrus crush
exterior view of EL "B"
California dreaming….
This super styled ranch home in California, combines some lovely vintage pieces against a modern backdrop. It has a lovely dreamy feel about it which i would envision would be a great place if you were recording a new album or writing your next novel, etc etc….
love the bold mix of pattern, colour and form.
Stunning dining room chandelier , the stool adds casual glamour
Great shade of green in the living room against a soothing white
Lovely mix of constrasting finishes in the kitchen
The stairwell becomes quite a feature and sits beautifully with the antique desk
Amazing photo of horse in the bedroom against the softness of a white curtain
Dress me up…
I just came across these amazing pictures of people in traditional dress from way back and in more recent times. I think i need to update my wardrobe….
tibetan lady, the colour of the beads are just divine
Tibetan beauty, loving the beads and hats
old world charm: his and hers hungarian outfits

Leave no stone unturned…..
I just came across these works by American artist Jim Hodges . Made from Granite and stainless steel and lacquer, they are such amazingly out of this world forms.
They were exhibited recently at the Gladstone gallery in New York.

Book worm…..
Canadian artist Guy Laramee has turned his love of books into inspiring landscapes made of books themselves…. They are intricate sculptures, whereby the world of imagination and knowledge merge into one. Happy reading/looking!

Chelsea apartment crush…
As we all know New york isn’t short of apartment living, but what makes a home an inspiring home is the evidence of the occupant’s personality. The apartment of Taylor Tomasi Hill, is a purely inspiring mix of someone who isn’t afraid to mix it up and have fun……
love the greenery and makeshift seating
the greenery again adds such a surprising element
now this is what i call kitchen decor...
a mini pink fridge to keep the champagne fresh!
love the artwork and the pillowcases etc etc
the shoe closet.... need i say more?
Bye bye summer, hello Autumn…..
Today is the first day of Autumn…. Time to start rugging up in the southern hemisphere…. I came across this gorgeous image of one of my favourite flowers, the Bougainvillea. I just love the intensity of the colour and the way it grows organically…. tis very beautiful indeed!
