Cute and quirky or just a little OTT? Perhaps a bit of both. Beanies for Panton S chairs or are they woolly jumpers? For when your sleek, clean lined midcentury chairs feel the cold in winter. Part of a fun retail installation by Nicole Hollis.
I couldn't resist. I've featured this home before but when I found it again on the Koskela website with even more pictures I had to share. It's Dickebusch, a 2 bedroom holiday home, with separate cottage in the fishing village of Patonga north of Sydney. Renovated by the duo behind Koskela furniture - Russel Koskela and Sasha Titchkosky - it is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. Relaxed and stylish. Warm and fashionably laid back. Imagine your perfect holiday shack full of Koskela furniture, lighting and objects. Throw in some vintage pieces and collectables and it is just about heaven. Sleeps 8. Now there will be two from DTI ... that leaves 6 more. Just leave your name if you want to join us ;)
One day, I have to experience living in a loft. With soaring ceilings, massive windows, exposed brick and concrete...lofts will always be one of my favourite spaces. I fell in love with this dreamy loft, designed by Brazilian architect and designer Luiz Fernando Grabowsky - it has everything I mentioned and more. That storage wall in the kitchen/dining area is gorgeous and totally functional. The art wall over the bed draws your eyes up and is a perfect contrast to the opposing storage wall. LOVE!!

Back in June Jo shared a funky shabby chic/scandi home by Polish interior design firm 2Kul. This firm is at it again, and this time they have taken on the design of 2 apartments in a country home just outside Wrocław, in their signature black/white/natural palette (my fav!) and modern/shabby/scandi style (again my fav!). So warm and cosy...and somewhat exotic. A great vibe.
I'd like to see more please. I know that the new building has been designed to impact on the landscape as little as possible but I want to take a virtual walk through. See more of those stone walls, that dark bedroom, the retro furniture. Just a little bit more. Barn extension by Toulouse-based Puig Pujol architectures.
