Tonya Hinde is an interior designer based in Melbourne. I love the midcentury, found object vibe backed up by her clever space planning (checkout her wonderful pencil plans and renderings on the website). I guess I’m a sucker for Grant Featherston chairs and that lick of paint, on a budget, pink make over of the stairs cheers me up no end. I could move right in to these rooms. Hey it looks like half my things are there already!

I was going to write an intro for this retro post with bad jokes about LPs and 8 tracks (go ask your mums) but then I realised that what was staring at me from the screen of my computer was an IKEA catalogue. Does anyone else see the similarities? Today’s retro scans are from Home Storage, House and Garden Guide to Organization and Arrangement, Leonie Highton, Conde Nast, 1975.

Welcome to the beautiful world of Aimee Herring photography.

Twig Hutchinson of London has styled some of the most beautiful spaces I’ve ever seen. I adore each and every one of these photographs for their simplicity, their rough-around-the-edges shabby chicness, their colours or lack thereof. Totally dreamy.

It’s the art in architecture that appeals to Alison Spear. Born in Miami and with offices there and in New York her work is not torn between the two but rather a wonderful melding of Miami spice and N.Y. cool. Don’t miss the movie on her website as she leads you through some of her spaces and explains her design process.
