Aldridge & Tanno Architects is a firm based in Norfolk, Connecticut and founded by Simon Aldridge and Lisa Tanno. First I have to say that the photo above has me completely mesmerized. I want to pack a bag, not tell anyone and sit on the porch for a week with no internet access. *sigh*. This firm’s classic designs are timeless with beautiful attention to detail. Each space is so serene and uncomplicated. *SIGH*

A reader named Sanja from Croatia emailed the other day with a link to her blog where she frequently features Croatian interiors. I love to see decor from different countries around the world and thought I’d share some spaces from Croatian magazine moja 4 zida that she has featured homes from on her blog. This first loft is located in Zagreb and is the home of interior designer Mirena Skoric. Love the bold turquoise sofa! (Photos: Frane Fabris)
I’m not sure where this next home is located but I LOVE the raw, warehouse-like shell and white painted brick/cement walls. And I must mention the inset patch of hardwood in the cement floor. Gorgeous!! (Photos: Guliver/Inside Photo)

The Apollon is a clever camera design makes taking photos an entirely new experience! If your casual photographer friends have one too, you can link together wirelessly and capture the same photo from different perspectives. Better yet, their camera will automatically transfer the image to your device so you all have the same digitals. Pure GENIUS.

I haven’t done a reader request in ages, because I don’t seem to ever have enough time to rifle through my photo stash anymore (I have 2 days off work hence my ability to magically find a bit of time now). I think these started getting more difficult when Jo and I each started trying to blog twice a day and then I went and started this blog with my sister. Anyway, feel free to continue sending requests but try and make it reeeeeeally interesting and something that can be easily spotted in a tiny thumbnail to increase your chances of me getting to it. 
SO, today’s request comes from Christi: I’m a design student from BC, and I’d love to see some blog posts with brass and gold contemporary hardware and fixtures. I’m obsessed with the few I’ve seen, and I think the contrast with cooler paint and material tones is stunning. I was never a fan of anything gold, but I am slowly coming around. I still shy away from using it as silver seems to be so much easier. This one was a bit tough to find in my tiny Flickr thumbnails but I think I scored some decent photos, and because I have a thing for copper – particularly Tom Dixon’s copper shade lights – I took this opportunity to slide a couple in.

The photo above totally reminded me of this post. I love this idea ALOT. It’s like art that’s alive and always changing. Guess it wouldn’t have the same effect up here in Ottawa. That box would be filled with snow in the winter. Maybe not so fun to look at every day as such a focal point. (Via Nuevo Estilo)

There are so many amazing fabrics out there it’s hard to decide how exactly you want your bed dressed every day. Do you choose a fun and colorful fabric for your headboard and keep the bedding on the simpler side? Or do you keep the headboard simple and solid so you can mix and match with your bedding and easily swap it out when you need a change? This is a battle that a lot of my clients have until one day they make the decision to just go with what they love. Which way would you go?
This bold and colorful headboard is that of Michelle Adams from Lonny Magazine and I think it was a great choice!

The shape can sometimes speak for itself so the simpler the fabric, the better
While the headboard has some flare, this room is still very soothing
It’s almost like a puzzle piece
A whole lot of bold thrown in one bedroom for the daring
The height on this headboard adds an element
Simple headboard, splashes everywhere else
Whatever you decide, i hope your bed allows you to sleep well at night!
