Interior Design Sense

The Collector’s issue of THE quintessential MAGAZINE is full of the inspiring, the found, the unusual and the beautiful just like the store that gave it birth, quintessential duckeggBLUE. Dinosaur Designs’ Louise Olsen talks about the inspiration behind her new Ocean collection. Überstylist Glen Proebstel captures the magic of heartfelt treasures in New York and author Karen McCartney reveals how a misspent youth in London forged her style. And then there are the collections! Bobbins, bread boards, shoe lasts, potato mashers … how ordinary things can be extraordinary.

As much as I love bright, white spaces I am also a big fan of dark, moody and industrial spaces as well. I spotted these 2 homes on MilK magazine’s site and had to share. LOVE. So unpretentious and full of character.

I thought you might enjoy some eye candy by Danish photographer Frederikke Heiberg. Perfectly composed, perfectly staged, and perfectly executed so you feel like you’ve just interrupted a private moment. Love that. 

Think of the possibilities. Home office, studio, exercise room, chill zone, man cave, hell no woman cave! A super stylish box down the back of your yard. It’s the Backyard Room. Launched in March this year at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show where it won the sustainability award and the silver award for best garden, Backyard Room is an innovative new offering from the team at Archiblox. I want one for that spot way down the back of my garden. All to my own. Just have to keep it secret from my husband!

So rich, so lush, so adult, so divine. Like a deliciously wicked dark chocolate cake only better. A stunning modern intrepetation of the old eat in kitchen. Seriously sexy! Seriously! The Bridge Street Project by interior designer Beatrix Rowe and short listed for the finals of the 2013 Australian Interior Design Awards.

Spring is finally here and I’m super excited to see green stuff outdoors! Seeing so much dirt and snow and dormant vegetation gets seriously depressing by the end of winter. An email from Jeffrey of Jeffrey Gordon Smith Landscape Architecture could not have come at a better time. I blogged his gorgeous outdoor spaces here and here, and this time he wanted to share his latest project in Shell Beach, California. It’s a one-bedroom guest house with a LiveRoof and it’s a DREAM. Who cares what the interior looks like when you have this outside? I’d be living outside. Just pitch me a tent somewhere…or I’ll claim one of the hammocks. (Photos by Chris Leschinsky)

Or should that be studio of dreams? Close to perfect don’t you think? The castles I could create, the plans I could hatch draw, the clients I could bedazzle impress if I had such a space for my own. Mill Valley Studio by Jute.
