Bench With Lighting – BDLove Lamp by Ross Lovegrove

30 Jun

Ross Lovegrove designed a bench with lighting, appropriately named BDlove Lamp for BD Barcelona Design. It’s ultramodern, ultra cool and extremely eye catching. It really is a cross or a combination of a bench and a light, created out of exploring possibilities for furnishing transit areas like airport terminals and public squares with the intent of improving the quality of urban areas. We agree that they definitely would enhance public spaces, but we think they could do just as amazingly in our backyards too. Especially when combined with other BDlove pieces to create a modernistic and stylish place. Go to BD Barcelona Design to find out more.

Stalking on a Saturday

18 Jun

Not sure how I feel about today’s stalking house. I want to love it. I think I do then something jars and I wonder what exactly is wrong. I love the textiles. I love the art. I love the courtyard. The playing card plunge pool doesn’t do it for me. The bathroom is great but the tile is all wrong IMO. The place just seems cluttered but I know if I walked into this house I would want to explore everything, pick up the vase, touch the pillow, rub my toes into the rugs. The lighting is wrong and the photos are stretched but I still like it. Just need to pack some of it away … and save up to change the pool tile ;) Maybe I just feel whingy  and whiny today. Link to this Malvern, Melbourne home here while it lasts. Thanks to my secret real estate stalker. You know who you are. Keep up the good work.

Modern Romantic Lighting by Karman

28 May

The Karman company has been around a while but it is not until relatively recently that they began to specialize in lighting and the modern yet romantic Central Park lamps are just one example of how well they’ve done that. We are totally smitten with these in particular. Inspired by nature and simplicity, this perforated aluminum lighting displays wonderfully illuminated designs of flowers and butterflies. In a domestic setting, these romantic lamps pay a tribute to nature in a sophisticated and modern way. They are finished in a white lacquer and are available as floor, table, hanging and wall lamps. Visit Karman to find out more.

Design crew

14 May

Got a problem? Need some help? Just standing there shaking your head? Don’t know what to do? You’re not alone. Send us a link to photos of your design quandary and let the Desire to Inspire design crew help you …. that’s you lot … the readers! This week Yammie wants your 2 cents worth and yes, even though the obvious answer is clean up your room girls, she promises to mend her messy ways … or she will once the room is gorgeous.

I share a room with my sister. We have two twin beds …. Sorry the room is so messy and the pictures are so low quality. I just snapped them quick before I left for work this morning. I guess my main issue is that I want it to be bright and unique, but if I get sick of it, I don’t want it to be tooo hard to change. I want to have white or other neutral colors for the walls and bedding and then just have bright fun accessories. Also, like I said, I would like to paint the side tables bright colors like turquoise maybe with some green, pink, and or purple. I’m also thinking about lighting. Something unique and fun like low hanging lamps or paper lanterns would be cool. Any ideas? Thanks!

More photos after the jump. It’s a lovely bright room and I’m sure Yammie and her sister can create something special … with your help :)

The Modern Shop

1 May

This is just a quick post to welcome The Modern Shop to our sidebar. I have featured this shop before, back in October when I went to their grand opening (and when it was called The Modern Light). I am always eager to help promote local shops, especially ones as COOL as this because I often complain about the sh*tty selection of shops (for furniture and clothing) here in Ottawa. The Modern Shop is FOR SURE among my top 5. I have to admit I’ve been avoiding stopping by there lately because they carry such awesome furniture and lighting and I really need to get through my house additions first before I buy more stuff. They carry lines such as Flos, Hay, Modernica, MASHstudios, Moooi, Thonet, Jonathan Adler and MANY more. They’ll ship anywhere, and offer free shipping on most orders within North America.
Now I’m thinking maybe I could stop by The Modern Shop today, just for a few minutes….

1850′s Church Transformed into Stunning Bluestone Residence

28 Apr

http://interiordesignsense.com/tag//

For today we would like to present yet another stunning conversion of a 1850′ s Church into a modern residence. Located on Castle Street, Parkside, Australia, this amazing bluestone house was recently renovated in order to meet the highest contemporary living standards, while preserving its original architecture. The project features no less than three spacious bedrooms, an all-equipped kitchen, a fascinating open style living room with five meter ceilings and tiled floor, an entertainment room leading out to a fabulous, very private decking area, an amazing garden with lighting and automatic watering system and a lovely patio. Moreover, the house is equipped with a security system, automated garage panel lift door, air conditioning and many more. Although we are not fans of old buildings of historic meaning being transformed into private cribs, we have to say the atmosphere of this place is definitely unique. How do you find it?
