Nathalie Vingot Mei is an interior designer from la belle Provence who wrote us recently to say she’s a fan of the blog….and now I’m a fan of her work. Her work has been featured in Art et décoration, Marie Claire Maison and Côté sud. One word – SERENITY. Inviting spaces bathed in white and creams, with pale accent colours and lots of textures in fabrics, all with a very raw quality. C’est merveilleux et je suis vraiment contente qu’elle nous a envoyé un courriel. 🙂

Kyle Timothy Blood is the design force behind Kyle Timothy Home – obviously. But what is also obvious is his understanding of casual elegance and family friendly spaces. These are bright airy and light rooms that are just so appealing that you want to snuggle in that chair or whip up a cake in that kitchen. Custom doesn’t mean design for the sake of design but truly understanding a client’s needs.

As I promised yesterday, here is another look at Jordi Canosa‘s spectacular photography, this time featuring modern(ish) spaces. I think I prefer the rustic set but these knocked my socks off regardless.

Clean lines, monochromatic, dramatic in its restraint and simply beautiful. The latest private residence by Albano Daminato. Design classics by Hans Wegner, Warren Platner, Eero Saarinen and Arne Jacobsen are combined with custom pieces and layered with the textures of oak, hand woven rugs and travertine stone adding depth to the monochromatic palette. Sometimes colour is just not necessary to make a statement.
