A second helping
Mon, 24 Dec 2012
It is that time of the year after all! Let's go back fro a second helping from SIMO Design. I can't resist the sophisticated neutral palette of their latest work - the Vermont House.

SIMO Design
Ho ho ho! It's almost time for reindeer and a jolly fat man. I wouldn't be unhappy if I found anything refurbed by architect/designers Sam Gnatovich and Alexi Rennalls of SIMO Design in my stocking. (OK hard to fit a California Bungalow or a midcentury modern house in a stocking but you know what I mean ;) I love that even while modernising these homes they have retained the original. It's a young, vibrant take on the family home.

Dressed up for the holidays
I am finally done my Christmas preparations (besides food) and can start to relax for my week off from the day job (check out my super cheap gift wrapping solution on my page). Since I'm in the holiday mood, I thought I'd share a couple of really cute apartments I found on Micasa that are spruced up with a bit of festive decor. P.S. Jo and I never quit, so there will be blog posts up throughout the holidays. We typically do blog reading lists and favourites rooms from this past year so don't forget to stop by!

Stalking on a Saturday
At this time of the year the cities and towns across Australia empty as the population begins the annual Christmas migration to the beach. It is the ultimate family daydream to own a beach shack with water views or if you can't afford to buy one then at least rent it for the two weeks around Christmas and into the new year. Sun, sand, surfing and copious amounts of seafood and alcohol. That's the way to celebrate Christmas in the Great Southern Land. Today I'm stalking the ultimate beach shack at the most easterly tip of Australia, in the celebrity holiday town of Byron Bay. Owned by the Arnott (biscuit) family it is known by the locals as "The White House". Time to check the biscuit jar for the extra coin though. Asking price is over $6 million AUD. Ouch! You can rent it for around $14 000 a week (Kate Moss and Elle Macpherson have). Save me a place on Boxing Day. I'll bring the prawns and champers. Link here while it lasts.

Friday eye candy
I thought we could all use some gorgeous interior eye candy to lead us into this hectic pre-holiday weekend (and for those in the Ottawa area, 40 cm of snow!! AAAGGGHHH!!!!). The following photos are from the always fabulous MilK magazine.
