Hi to our new Aussie readers

Posted on Tue, 8 Jul 2008 by midcenturyjo

Hot off the press two great Australian design magazines Real Living and Belle have given Desire to Inspire a great wrap and already our Aussie stats are skyrocketing. So it’s time to say hi to all our new Aussie readers. Settle in as you have over a years worth of archives to feast on. A big thank you to Belle for including us in their hot blog list and to Real Living and our favourite Australian interior designer Greg Natale for the lovin’. (Cute photo Greg!)

Mark Roskams

Once again I’m floored by the talent of a photographer. This is the portfolio of Mark Roskams. His studio is based in Florida and I’m not sure if that is why he excels at capturing colour or maybe it’s innate. Hey it’s not just colour, it’s the light… and the angle … and composition, the clarity. Loving his work!

Doreen, a new DTI reader, emailed to thank us for doing what we do and while going through our archives found out that we love posting photos of animals on furniture so she sent us some of her cat Heidi. TOO CUTE! Thanks Doreen!



Dreaming in white

I definitively have a thing for white spaces these days. When I spotted this locations home, I sighed…out loud. So calming, so dreamy. Of course, if this were my home, there would be a bit of colour added here and there, then it would be perfection.
