Here’s another location property I came across, this time it’s all about white with a french feel. So pretty. But transport that house here to Canada and come winter, I’d be FREAKING OUT with white surrounding me on the inside AND the outside. I tend to crave warm colours in the winter to keep me warm I suppose. I do love the blue/green pieces in the kitchen.

Loved Fuse ID. Love Kishani Perera. A previous post by Kim (I seem to be stalking all your old design crushes Kim) last year had me hooked and of course a hip and talented designer like Kishani has uploaded so much more eye candy on her site since then. If all that isn’t enough this design diva with the fab budget chic touch has a blog with even more work. Overdosing on goodness.

I went visiting photographer Paul Barbera. Well his website not Paul himself. I may stalk my photographer crushes but I’m discrete. Kim has stalked him before but he’s been producing more of his edgy work. It’s a moody modern grunge versus bright white light battle going on. Never mind which one wins out because all of his work is stunning as his ever growing list of editorials from the who’s who of cutting edge shelter mags attests.

I recently came across the portfolio of photographer Paul Viant and discovered that his interiors portfolio contains photos of a home that is quite a step back in time. It’s a very large late Georgian, early Victorian on wonderful acreage in Wiltshire, near London. Perfect setting for a period movie.

Simplicity, balance, elegance and proportion. Shareen Joel and her design team take a multidisciplinary approach to their work. It’s just not interior architecture. Think creative branding management and product design even Shareen’s stint with Ford working on car design. The spaces here are clean and crisp. There is a form follows function, modern minimalist feel but these are not cold spaces. Natural materials or infusions of whimsical and personal touches warm the rooms. I’ve included some of SJD’s retail work as well. I always love checking out innovative retail and commercial spaces. I don’t know if it’s the industrial design influence or the interior architect one but the joinery details in SJD’s work give me goosebumps.
