Staffan Tollgard

This home in Notting Hill designed by British interior design firm Staffan Tollgård is an absolute dream. The architecture (moldings, gorgeous staircase, massive kitchen window) combined with the dramatic modern/contemporary furnishings and eclectic/funky accents (how cool is that wall of vintage cage pendants, and the random dump truck art in the kitchen) makes this one spectacular home that I could move right into and not change a thing - except I'd lose the dead owl, and switch out the light fixture in the living room for something less pretty.

A little extra

I would absolutely LOVE to have a super long dining table. AWESOME. And the lighting almost send me over the edge. Add in bookcases and chalkboard and I am having heart palpitations. 

I love a mostly modern kitchen...and then I see a kitchen like this and I want to change my mind. The moldings, the windows, the antique furniture as kitchen cabinets, and throw in that massive vintage light fixture and you've got one helluva sweet kitchen.

A 2-story bookcase would be a dream come true. I'd never have to throw out a shelter mag or book ever again, and a place to display every knick knack I have stashed in the basement. *sigh*

Graphic photography as artwork, and a stunning statement chandelier. YES!!!

Riad riot

OMG! OTT! If only I could find myself lounging the day away at this riotous riad. A pleasure palace, a hedonist hideaway, a haven of over-indulgence. Too much? Never! Another gob smackingly wonderful location from the Hi-Location agency.

Jason MacLean update

We heard from London-based interior designer Jason MacLean the other day, whose latest project is FAB-U-LOUS, and an incredible transformation. It is located in Earls Court, London and was originally a blacksmiths workshop. By the looks of it from the before photos it appears this was a serious undertaking! The kitchen, fixtures and fittings were made by Jason on site. Whoa. That kitchen is gorgeous and I am totally in love with the light fixtures. Jason has knocked another one out of the park. (See previous posts of his work here, here and here).
